I should have known.
How could we have missed the warning signs? I always thought there was something off about him.
When we wake up to new tragedies in the news every day--shootings, rampages, acts of domestic terrorism--we often blame ourselves for missing the mania lurking inside unsuspecting individuals.
But how could we have known that the charismatic leader had the characteristics of a tyrant? And how can ordinary people identify threats from those who are poised to devastate their lives on a daily basis--the crazy coworkers, out-of-control family members, or relentless neighbors? In Dangerous Personalities , former FBI profiler Joe Navarro has the answers.
He shows us how to identify the four most common dangerous personalities--the Narcissist, the Predator, the Paranoid, and the Unstable Personality-- and how to analyze the potential threat level.
Along the way, he provides essential tips and tricks to protect ourselves both immediately and in the long-term, as well as how to heal the trauma of being exposed to the destructive egos in our world.
