The Real Reason the Narcissist Cheated
Summary
Many people are cheated on by the narcissist. You might think at the beginning of the relationship, in the romance and love bombing stage, that you will be immune to the narcissist cheating on you. He will not admit that he has cheated on other partners that came before you. You have no knowledge of his history before you met him, so you have no predisposed idea that he might cheat on you at all. So, you proceed with the relationship with the narcissist, as though you have met your twin flame, your soulmate, and your night in shining armor. He makes all these lifelong promises of romance, a perfect future, and just the two of you being together. You seem to have a relationship that, although not perfect, might at least seem palatable. Sometimes, the narcissist is everything you imagined in your fantasies of what a relationship should look like. Other times, he is your worst nightmare. Still, the relationship marches on. Then, seemingly out of the blue, the narcissist cheats. You don’t realize it, but all the while throughout the whole relationship, the narcissist was cheating. He was doing little things here and there that might have given you clues that he was cheating. He covered many of them up. He couldn’t let on to you that he was cheating, or that he was grooming another mate, or that he was looking for your replacement all this while. After all, he views himself as a "good guy", and nothing you do or say will change his view of himself. The truth of the matter is that the narcissist cannot be monogamous. There are many reasons that he cannot be monogamous with you. Almost none of these reasons have to do with how smart, pretty, and successful you are. It has less to do with who you are and how well you are doing, and more to do with the way that the narcissist is wired and how he interacts with his environment.

Ordering Your Private World
Summary
"I'm so disorganized!" "I can't get my act together!" "My inner life is a mess!" How many times have you heard (or even said) those words? Our culture produces so many books to help us organize our work, our schedules, our studies, our careers, that we may be tempted to think it is possible to order our inner world by establishing control in the outer world of activity. Gordon MacDonald believes otherwise. In a "memo to the disorganized", he says, "If my private world is in order, it will be because I am convinced that the inner world of the spiritual must govern the outer world of activity." He breaks down this private world into five sectors: motivation, use of time, wisdom and knowledge, spiritual strength, and restoration, and offers both inspiration and practical steps toward order. These are gleaned from years of Bible study and reading about the lives and writings of Christians throughout the history of the church, and tested in his own experience. Here is a very personal treatment of a very personal problem: how to order your private world. Please note: The original source for this digital production was audiocassette tape, which is the best available source audio from the publisher. The audio quality reproduces the analog format.

Addiction!
Summary
Addiction is motivated by a secretive force that can’t be seen on the surface, but the yearning desire is never fulfilled because the craving comes back time and time again. No person starts out doing anything with the intention of becoming an addict. Every addiction stems from something. The root cause of every addiction begins with fear or pain to some degree. Many issues can play a part in the personal development of an addiction. Some people use drugs out of curiosity, influence from peers, or for pleasure.

50 Things to Know About Arguing
Summary
50 Things to Know About Arguing, by Daniel Nelson, aims to be a practical guide to having better, more constructive, and less hurtful arguments and discussions. If you’re tired of having stressful, angry spats that don’t seem to go anywhere, this audiobook might be for you. It’s important to note there is more than one definition of the word argument, and both senses of the word arguing will be discussed here. Arguing in the first sense of the word is a verbal war, a shouting match, an angry battle of opposing views. The second sense of arguing is philosophical in nature, referring to a presentation of reasons to adopt a position. Both definitions still involve trying to convince another person of your point of view, to see your reasoning and be persuaded by it. The aim of this audiobook is to help you deal with both kinds of arguments. Within the following audiobook, you’ll learn how to argue more effectively and to create more compelling points and cases. You’ll also learn how to argue more kindly, to treat others with respect, and to avoid escalation. You’ll be glad to have listened to it, so pick up a copy as soon as you can.

18 Truths You Must Know About Manipulative People
Summary
You may not want to admit it, but manipulative people are everywhere. The manipulator in your life could be your neighbor, your boss, or your coworker. It could even be your child or your spouse. Like it or not, we sometimes succumb to the whims of manipulators. If we do not educate and protect ourselves, we even become victimized by manipulators. They are sometimes extraordinarily difficult to detect. It is even harder to determine what their motives are, and where their limits are. Most people want to trust other people to some extent. We don't enjoy being paranoid or having to check up on another person. This is particularly true if the manipulators in your life are adults. We want to believe that everyone has grown up. We want other people to earn our trust. We want to believe that people are trustworthy, genuine, friendly and honest. Once you have been taken advantage of by a manipulator, it shakes your own sense of emotional and mental wellbeing. You begin to wonder if other people cannot be trusted. You may become hypervigilant toward the person who victimized you, constantly searching for other signs that they will hurt you again. This causes extreme stress and discomfort, especially in the lives of those who are prone to experiencing anxiety when their environment and those around them are not predictable. This audiobook will dispel many truths about manipulative people that you may not have known. It will open your eyes to their tactics, their motives, and their psychological states. The author has firsthand experience with some of the best manipulators out there. She has used wisdom gained over four decades of experience and a significant amount of information about manipulators. Armed with this information, you can better assess the situations that you are in. You can make informed decisions, learn when to trust, and how to cope with the manipulators' tactics.

Gaslighting Narcissist: Rebuke the Ultimate Mind Control
Summary
Many of my listeners write to me, and they often want to know how to deal with a gaslighting narcissist. The narcissist twist and turns everything around, and he disorients you. You don’t know what is real and what is imagined anymore. You are helpless to the torture techniques and the mind control that is being launched on you right now. You might want to know what qualifies me to write a book about gaslighting. Well, I was the lucky victim of a mass gaslighting effort that spanned far too long and too wide. You would be shocked at how far and wide-reaching the infamous gaslighting event went with the narcissist who claimed to the high heavens that he didn’t have any friends (that turned out to be the furthest thing from the truth). NPD DSM Criteria Before we can analyze the narcissist, we must first get to know the narcissist and his true motivations and his true nature. We will analyze the traits of narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM IV) criteria: A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following: Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements) Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions) Requires excessive admiration Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors, or attitudes The definition of gaslighting A person who gaslights uses gaslighting as a coping mechanism to manage their world. The gaslighter is so neurotic and psychotic that he plays God with other people’s minds and lives. The gaslighting narcissist will never change - I repeat - he will never change. You are not going to save him, change him, reform him, make him see the light, teach him to be a better person, teach him to love, or love him into a healthier state. It isn’t possible. Cut your losses, and move on. Download now to hear more!
