About this listen

Do you have a narcissist, sociopath, or psychopath in your life, or think that you might?

Do you continually feel anxious around someone in your life, but can’t pinpoint why?

Do conversations seem to go off track, leaving you feeling knocked off balance and confused?

Does it feel like they are making your life a living hell, but they insist that you are too sensitive, crazy, or to blame?

Perhaps you know you are being manipulated or abused, but don’t know how to make it stop. The Narcissist’s Playbook can help.

Some of the topics covered in The Narcissist’s Playbook are:

  • What manipulation is and isn’t.
  • How to spot manipulative behaviors early (and why most people struggle with this).
  • How and why people get caught up with manipulators, and why they have a hard time breaking free.
  • How to identify the emotional “hook” that is keeping you stuck in manipulation and what you can do about it.
  • How to effectively disable manipulation as it is happening.
  • How to identify the common personality traits that are frequently exploited by manipulators.

You can take back your life. The Narcissist’s Playbook tells you how.

Gave me a good foundation to recognise why I've been manipulated so easily by my 2 long term relationships and not realised till it was to late, gives you good insights to yourself and the behavior of others, boundaries or lack of them, gives you the tools to help you not allow this to happen again, I have read this twice and will dip back into it many more times

Great self assessment and help

I am quite familiar with the subject Narcissist’s só to me the book felt quite repetitive.
Nevertheless it did give important insights (especially in the last chapters).
Something that could be better: she speaks too much about those who are physically abusive and those who scam you for money.
Though those exist, the majority hurt you without beating you or stealing your money. Though the author does speak about this it is very subtle. For someone new to the subject I find it very easy that once they hear money scam or being physically abused they can very easily dismiss the subject because their partner aren’t that bad. And it is a lie. Psychological abuse can be even more damaging. The worst thing is: it is much harder to identify. Physical abuse is easy to see. Being scammed for money too. The real issue is identifying the rest

For beginners to the subject, but could de better

Dana Morningstar is an exceptional person, author, educator and broadcaster on the topic of narcissism / problematic behaviour in relationships and healing after abuse. Her wisdom on this subject - achieved through professional and personal experience - is invaluable and she shares it in such a sensitive, yet powerful way that resonates, captivates you and stays with you. Dana provides the information required to establish boundaries as a solid foundation for healthy relationships. Through her books and weekly livestream on YouTube, I have learned so many skills to enable me to establish clear boundaries for the first time in my life, appreciate and value myself, create a life that nourishes me and only accept healthy interactions and relationships that I am deserving of.

School curriculums would benefit from Dana’s teachings so that children could establish healthy boundaries from a young age which would make for a much healthier and happier society.

Thank you for your tireless effort, work and teachings in this area, Dana. They are sincerely appreciated and have helped so many people to thrive after abuse and develop healthy relationships, often for the first time in their lives. In your words: There is so much right about you 💜

Life changing lessons taught with heart!

If you’re considering buying this audiobook then buy it. The author is really therapeutic to listen to. She explains manipulation and the different tactics used so well. And gives workable exercises on how to overcome falling prey to one again. I’ve found it really useful and recommended it to friends. A must have for anyone in a narcissistic relationship. I have bought the book so that I can dip in and out and go over key sections for me. I am definitely glad I listened to the audiobook first though as I find it more helpful being read by the author.
