Dean McFarlin was a professor at the University of Dayton when he joined us to discuss his book 'House of Mirrors: The Untold Truth about Narcissistic Leaders and How to Survive Them' in 2001. He had written it with Paul Sweeney. When I searched online for an image of the cover, the only one I could locate was the Canadian version, which has the same artwork but a slightly different title (as shown). As the author explains in this interview, we all have elements of narcissism — if we didn't, we probably could not get out of bed every morning. When narcissism becomes pathological, that is when it becomes a problem.
