In this episode of the Psych Central Show, hosts Gabe Howard and Vincent M. Wales welcome back Dr. Ramani Durvasula to discuss narcissism… this time, in the workplace. Everyone believes they’ve got a narcissist as a coworker and, often, they’re correct. In this episode, you’ll learn how to tell if your coworker is a narcissist, how common this is (especially among executives), and how to handle them, even if it’s your boss. You’ll learn about gaslighting and the link between narcissism and low self-esteem. Dr. Ramani also warns what can happen to a person who remains in the sort of toxic workplace environment created by narcissists.

She is the author of Should I Stay or Should I Go: Surviving a Relationship With a Narcissist–an incisive take on how narcissism is destroying our relationships.

In many ways, the elegance of narcissists is that you can always predict what they will do next and Mr. Trump is no exception. Dr. Durvasula is masterful at providing the Rosetta stone for translating our president’s angry outbursts, unhinged texts, familial entitlement and petulance.
