"Grannon helps us navigate the most difficult terrains of the human psyche with a unique combination of intellect, humor, and personal experience. Rather than keep his distance behind a cold glass partition, he reaches out to say, 'This is what happened to me, and these are the techniques that helped me get through it.'"

"I deeply appreciate Richard Grannon's work in helping people understand and overcome narcissistic abuse and cult brainwashing. While what was done to many of us might have been unavoidable and perhaps out of our control, the healing and preventative measures are very much in our control. Grannon inspires us to find our individuated self and interrelate with society as a more whole human, dropping essential knowledge for living a more meaningful life."

- Mark Vicente, film director

"To be on the receiving end of narcissistic abuse is disorienting, to say the least. It can also create destructive relationship patterns in the recipient that are hard to recognize and difficult to overcome. In this inspiring book, Richard Grannon combines the spiritual, the philosophical, and the practical. With his usual humility and good humor, he takes us through his own journey to triumph over the abuse that set him on a difficult path."

- Shawn Smith, MD, psychologist and author
