Narcissism—an inflated view of the self—is everywhere. Public figures say it's what makes them stray from their wives. Parents teach it by dressing children in T-shirts that say "Princess." Teenagers and young adults hone it on Facebook, and celebrity newsmakers have elevated it to an art form. And it's what's making people depressed, lonely, and buried under piles of debt.


Dr. Jean M. Twenge focuses on the pernicious spread of narcissism in today's culture, which has repercussions for every age group and class. Dr. Twenge joins forces with Dr. W. Keith Campbell, a nationally recognized expert on narcissism, to explore this new plague. Together, they provide an eye-opening exposition of the alarming rise of narcissism and its catastrophic effects at every level of society.


W. Keith Campbell, PhD, is department head and a professor of psychology at the University of Georgia. He is the author of When You Love a Man Who Loves Himself: How to Deal with a One-Way Relationship and coauthor, with Josh Miller, of The Handbook of Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Theoretical Approaches, Empirical Findings, and Treatments. He has authored over one hundred scientific articles. His work on narcissism has appeared in USA Today, Time, and the New York Times. He has also made numerous radio and television appearances, including Today and National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Keith lives in Athens, Georgia, with his wife and daughters.

Jean M. Twenge, PhD, is a widely published professor of psychology at San Diego State University. She is the author of The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant and Generation Me: Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled-and More Miserable Than Ever.... Her research has appeared in Time, USA Today, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, and she has been featured on Today, Dateline, and National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." She holds degrees from the University of Chicago and the University of Michigan. Jean lives with her husband in San Diego, California.
