1. The Narcissism Epidemic
Living in the Age of Entitlement
This book examines the cultural rise of narcissism in recent decades, tracing how changes in parenting, education, media, and social technology have encouraged self-centered attitudes, entitlement, and image-focused behavior. It links growing narcissistic traits to problems in relationships, workplaces, and civic life, and uses research and examples to show how individualism and the self-esteem movement contributed to the trend. The authors also offer practical suggestions for curbing narcissism—emphasizing empathy, realistic feedback, stronger communal norms, and institutional reforms to promote responsibility and cooperation.
