Dodge the Love-Bombing Narcissist: Book One of The Great Listener trilogy

By Michael J. O’Brien

The most consequential decision we can make in our lifetime is who to marry. In a typical year in the United States alone, approximately four million people make that decision. And about half of them get it wrong. Narcissism is a common reason. The purpose of this fast-paced, dialogue-driven story is to give you the roadmap to identify a narcissist so that you can dodge their love bombing and see the insincerity of their charm. There are no lectures in this book. You'll learn these skills by reading the personal story of a guy from a small blue-collar town in Upstate New York who meets a girl from a wealthy suburb of New York City. She convinces him they are the perfect couple, and he marries her. But from the moment they meet, she is a sleeping enemy. She is a narcissist. To a narcissist, image reigns supreme. So when he files for divorce, she promises to make his life "a living hell." She keeps that promise. Her ruthless retaliation threatens to destroy everything that is vital to him--including his character, his self-esteem, and his relationship with his children. You'll also learn that the moment you hire a divorce attorney, you are stepping onto a greasy slide that could plummet you into emotional and financial ruin. The author lived with narcissistic behavior for over twenty-five years and didn't understand it until he wrote this book. His story is frustrating, sad, shocking--and sometimes hilarious. Reading this book will give you the ability to identify a narcissist so that you can run away. If you're already caught, his personal experience of being in denial--his blindness to the behavior--will open your eyes. And you'll laugh as you read along. A lot.
