Dangerous Personalities
by Joe Navarro
First published 2014
Joe Navarro, a leading FBI profiler, unlocks the secrets to
the personality disorders that put us all at risk. 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 co-workers,
out-of-control family members, or relentless neighbours? In Dangerous
Personalities, former FBI profiler Joe Navarro has the answers. He shows us how
to identify the four most common "dangerous personalities" and how to
analyse the potential threat level: the Narcissist, the Predator, the Paranoid,
and the Unstable Personality. 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.
