520    From the Publisher: Narcissism-a very positive and 
       inflated view of the self-is everywhere. It's what you 
       have if you're a politician and you've strayed from your 
       wife, and it's why five times as many Americans undergo 
       plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures today than did 
       just ten years ago. It's the value that parents teach 
       their children with song lyrics like "I am special. Look 
       at me," the skill teenagers and young adults obsessively 
       hone on Facebook and MySpace, and the reason high school 
       students physically beat classmates and then broadcast 
       their violence on YouTube for all to see. It's the message
       preached by prosperity gospel and the vacuous ethos spread
       by celebrity newsmakers. And it's what's making people 
       depressed, lonely, and buried under piles of debt. Jean M.
       Twenge's influential and controversial first book, 
       Generation Me, generated a national debate with its 
       trenchant depiction of the challenges twenty-and 
       thirtysomethings face emotionally and professionally in 
       today's world-and the fallout these issues create for 
       older generations as well as employers. Now, Dr. Twenge is
       on to a new incendiary topic that has repercussions for 
       every age-group and class: the pernicious spread of 
       narcissism in today's culture and its catastrophic 
       effects. Dr. Twenge joins forces with W. Keith Campbell, 
       Ph. D., a nationally recognized expert on narcissism, for 
       The Narcissism Epidemic, their eye-opening exposition of 
       the alarming rise of narcissism-and they show how to stop 
       it. Every day, you encounter the real costs of narcissism:
       in your relationships and family, in the workplace and the
       economy at large, in schools that fail to teach necessary 
       skills, in culture, and in politics. Even the world 
       economy has been damaged by risky, unrealistic 
       overconfidence. Filled with arresting anecdotes that 
       illustrate the hold narcissism has on us today-from people
       hiring fake paparazzi in order to experience feeling 
       famous to college students who won't leave a professor's 
       office until their B+ becomes an A. The Narcissism 
       Epidemic is at once a riveting window into the 
       consequences of narcissism, a probing analysis of the 
       culture at large, and a prescription to combat the 
       widespread problems caused by narcissism. As a society, we
       have a chance to slow the epidemic of narcissism once we 
       learn to identify it, minimize the forces that sustain and
       transmit it, and treat it where we find it. Drawing on 
       their own extensive research as well as decades of other 
       experts' studies, Drs. Twenge and Campbell show us how.
