Overview

Bestselling author, therapist, lawyer, and mediator Bill Eddy describes how dangerous high-conflict personalities have gained power in governments worldwide--and what citizens can do to keep them out of office. Democracy is under siege. The reason isn't politics but personalities: too many countries have come under the sway of high-conflict people (HCPs) who have become politicians. Most of these high-conflict politicians have traits of narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial (i.e., sociopathic) personality disorder, or both. This is the first and only guide for identifying and thwarting them. IN THIS JAW-DROPPING BOOK, EDDY HIGHLIGHTS: - How dangerous HCPs can become - How to spot the patterns of high-conflict politicians very early on - How to spot the Fantasy Crisis Triads that they use to fool voters - Why there are more Wannabe Kings today than ever before - Why politics is not the issue; it's personalities - Why they can pop up anywhere and always try to take over Drawing on historical examples from Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Nixon to Trump, Maduro, and Putin, Eddy shows how HCPs invent enemies and manufacture phony crises so they can portray themselves as the sole heroic figure who can deal with them, despite their inability to actually solve real problems. Eddy brings his deep psychotherapeutic experience to bear on a previously unidentified phenomenon that presents a real threat to the world.
