Narcissists from Mars and Venus

By Boris Kriger

In Narcissists from Mars and Venus, Boris Kriger reveals that the devastating cycle of idealization, devaluation, and discard that characterizes narcissistic relationships is not a mystery of individual pathology but an emergent property of a dynamical system - a pattern that arises whenever five structural conditions are met. The same pattern governs thermostats, authoritarian regimes, cults, corporate hierarchies, addiction, and algorithmic platforms. The equations are identical. Only the variable names change.
Drawing on a rigorous mathematical framework developed in the author's academic research, this book translates the formal analysis into vivid, accessible prose - no equations required. It explains why the oscillation between warmth and coldness is inevitable, why gaslighting produces a sudden collapse rather than a gradual decline, why the trap tightens with every passing month, and why the diagnostic label 'narcissist' may itself be an instrument of the very mechanism it describes.
This is not a self-help book. It is a new way of seeing - one that replaces the question 'who is to blame?' with 'what structure produces this?' and replaces moral judgment with engineering precision. Whether you have lived through narcissistic dynamics or simply want to understand how exploitation works across every domain of human life, this book will change the way you see relationships, institutions, and power.
The dynamics suffice.
