Few Good Cardinals

"e;An amazing book that has been very helpful for me."e;"e;What stopped me was the decision to approach narcissism not as a personality flaw to manage but as a condition with a traceable origin, and then to bring in astrology, Eastern mysticism, Marcus Aurelius, and Nietzsche alongside modern psychology to build that case. That is a genuinely unconventional intellectual move, and the fact that the book is part biography and part history rather than a clinical guide gives it a texture that most books on toxic behavior cannot offer."e; B. Johnson"e;PURE FICTION"e; - this is what you may hear from the narcissist you just called out on their bad behavior. As a verdict on the human condition, A Few Good Cardinals shows where narcissism appears to come from. When we have compassion for ourselves, we can start rebuilding how our life should be and leave the narcissist to their own devices. Yet, how do we distinguish a healthy narcissist from a toxic one?For the toxic narcissist, life is essentially war. Rules and consequences don't seem to matter much. They battle with themselves, with others, or with both at once. If you consider yourself a toxic narcissist or are easily offended, you are going to want to return this book. Part biography, part history, A Few Good Cardinals takes us on a journey of trauma and victory. For an empath, life may be an adventure or a puzzle instead. To understand our differences, well respected scientists throughout the ages have attempted to demystify how people behave, why they abuse others and what is fairness.Many continue to suffer because some deny they have a role in the hurt they cause others. The impact of the toxic narcissist on our world has been well documented. What is less well known, especially in the field of psychology, is where narcissism originates. Eastern mysticism and Western philosophers like Marcus Aurelius and Nietzsche have helped us navigate the mystery of life and human relations for millennia. Carl Vincent humbly shares his suggestions to one of the most pertinent questions of all time - how to interpret and predict human behavior - by adopting a small part of another long-established yet often ignored science.Each of us seems to be born with a mission. For some, that involves raising a child. For others, it may be creating new tools and resources for humanity to progress and prosper. History is pregnant with examples of people who have done good by sharing the little wealth they have for the benefit of others. The more well known examples of human endeavor, though, seem to be of conquest, of the enslaved and freed, of profits made and institutions established."e;[It] instantly opened my eyes about a person I have been puzzled about for years. She has an Aries Moon and it describes her perfectly! Thank you!"e;"e;Carl Vincent gets it. 'A Few Good Cardinals' puts toxic narcissism on the table in all its ugly forms clear and simple. Brilliant!"e;CAUTION: CONTENTS MAY TRIGGER STRONG TRAUMA FLASHBACKS. The Kindle version presents the same methodology as the paperback and hardcover versions in a condensed format.
