    What are the symptoms of narcissism? 
      
    Are there different types of narcissists? 
      
    These and many other questions will be addressed. Narcissism in students, in children, and in others will be laid out and explained in further detail. There are many things to learn about narcissism, so become familiar with it now! 
      
      
      
      
    Book 2: In this guide, we will go over some interesting subtopics related to narcissism, such as the impact of celebrities on narcissists in society, of social media, and other significant influences. 
      
    Also, we’ll go over a small checklist that you can use to see if a narcissist is a threat or not, so you know what to expect. Narcissism is often an issue in politics. Some narcissists are also sociopaths, and some narcissists are just the result of our civilization’s greedy emphasis on monetary values and the showing off of status symbols of wealth. 
      
    And then all of this begs the question: Is narcissism ever beneficial? Or is it always wrong? And if so, to what extend? 
      
    To learn more about these things, simply pick up this book online and start reading or listening.

    Dignity for Deeply Forgetful...

    For caregivers of deeply forgetful people: a book that combines new ethics guidelines with an innovative program on how to communicate and connect with people with Alzheimer's.How do we approach a "deeply forgetful" loved one so as to notice and affirm their continuing selfidentity? For three decades, Stephen G. Post has worked around the world encouraging caregivers to become more aware of—and find renewed hope in—surprising expressions of selfhood despite the challenges of cognitive decline.In this book, Post offers new perspectives on the worth and dignity of people with Alzheimer's and related disorders despite the negative influence of "hypercognitive" values that place an ethically unacceptable emphasis on human dignity as based on linear rationality and strength of memory. This bias, Post argues, is responsible for the abusive exclusion of this population from our shared humanity. With vignettes and narratives, he argues for a deeper dignity grounded in consciousness, emotional presence, creativity, interdependence, music, and a self that is not "gone" but "differently abled." Post covers key practical topics such as:• understanding the experience of dementia• noticing subtle expressions of continuing selfhood, including "paradoxical lucidity"• perspectives on ethical quandaries from diagnosis to terminal care and everything in between, as gleaned from the voices of caregivers• how to communicate optimally and use language effectively• the value of art, poetry, symbols, personalized music, and nature in revealing self-identity• the value of trained "dementia companion" dogsAt a time when medical advances to cure these conditions are still out of reach and the most recent drugs have shown limited effectiveness, Post argues that focusing discussion and resources on the relational dignity of these individuals and the respite needs of their caregivers is vital. Grounding ethics on the equal worth of all conscious human beings, he provides a cautionary perspective on preemptive assisted suicide based on cases that he has witnessed. He affirms vulnerability and interdependence as the core of the human condition and celebrates caregivers as advocates seeking social and economic justice in an American system where they and their loved ones receive only leftover scraps. Racially inclusive and grounded in diversity, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People also includes a workshop appendix focused on communication and connection, "A Caregiver Resilience Program," by Rev. Dr. Jade C. Angelica.

    Physicians lead. It’s an integral part of what they do. They lead patients, they lead healthcare teams, they lead colleagues, departments, and organizations. But most doctors receive very little training in leadership. Leon E. Moores, MD, DSc, FACS is a neurosurgeon and seasoned healthcare leader who literally “wrote the book” on physician leadership for the U.S. Army. A West Point graduate, Moores became an officer and a surgeon in the Army and recognized how the lack of formal leadership training for doctors impacts physician effectiveness, team performance, and patient outcomes. Along with a team of highly accomplished colleagues, he created the physician leadership development program that has been widely referenced by the U.S. military. Moores now shares that leadership wisdom, and the lessons he has learned through decades of healthcare organization leadership, with physicians everywhere and with all readers passionate about improving healthcare.
