Narcissists Like Us

Striving for Appreciation - an honest look at us humans

Accepting your inner narcissist
It hurts to look in the mirror: narcissists - that includes all of us. Everyone wants to feel valuable and wanted. But so often we look to gain recognition via status symbols and self-optimisation - at the expense of others. The personal consequences are psychosomatic problems; the global ones are the climate crisis and pandemics.
Katharina Ohana provides a surprise by presenting a new perspective on Homo sapiens and throwing many of the principles of the Enlightenment overboard: we don't think rationally. We strive for appreciation. So our image of humans must become more appropriate to the species. In order to make fair and sustainable decisions, we need a healthy psychosomatic balance, social involvement and recognition in our upbringing, education, work and private life. This book is an invitation to look at ourselves more honestly and to treat one another in a more appreciative way. This is the only way we will be able to deal with future challenges – in society and individually.
