To the outside Sam Vaknin is the poster child of NPD. To the ones who also share his symptoms tend to dislike him very much and call many of his writings out as BS. Typical narcissists will always shot down someone whose doing it better as we are programmed to believe we are the best. Truth is he is making a killing in both profits and feeding his narcissistic ways by his endeavors and when it comes down to it he deserves credit from this standpoint. Take this forum for instance, if we all were to sit in a room and go through each post we could very easily put a book together that would gain attention in the ways that Sam does. A single narc is interesting, a group of narcs would be mind blowing!!! Love him or hate him he will continue to build his ego way above most of us ever will. Disagree all you want but you know it's true. Be as successful as you want but to be successful by exploiting your craziness and making the outside buy into every word you write???? Sounds pretty genius to me!!! Next time any of you go see your t mention him to them and they will all know exactly who he is. His supply will never run out.
