Publisher's Summary
Are you truly taking care of yourself? Or are you too busy taking care of everyone else?
So many of us find it easier to love other people than to love ourselves. We struggle to put our own needs first and have a hard time asking for what we want let alone going after it. Instead, we attach ourselves to selfish people trying over and over to win love from those who simply can’t offer it.
If that sounds familiar, you may be the victim of narcissistic abuse. In A Cult of One, Richard Grannon exposes the insidious effects of narcissistic abuse and shares his own winding road to recognition and recovery. Through martial arts, mysticism, psychedelics, and psychology spanning over four continents and 44 years of life, Grannon discovered a systematic discipline for healing. Join him as he explains step-by-step with courage, humor, and optimism how to forge your own path to a better life.

Very insightful for any recovering codependent
I’ve followed Richard Grannon’s latest philosophy on narcissistic abuse victims and recovery for some time but for some reason when I got this book I thought it would be, like many others, describing the narcissistic cycle of abuse and really focusing on narcissism but it’s focusing on codependency and on the codependent’s journey through the world. I may not have bought it if I knew this from the beginning (even if I am a recovering codependent myself) but after I read it, I’m glad I did. It’s a relatively easy read, like a monologue most of the time, that puts the codependency problems into perspective, it talks about moral values and boundaries. It may not be as satisfying as listening for the tenth time to someone narrating how narcissistic interactions unfold just to be able to confirm once more how well your own story matched the pattern, and finding that the villain who tortured you was mentally ill but it invites to introspection and finding real paths out of codependency. These are questions any victim of narcissistic abuse should ask themselves. For those who were victims of vulnerable/covert narcissism, I found that the trauma I went through following the abuse was very different from the one following the overt abuse I’d been through before, having to first battle the ocean of guilt and shame that I was drowning in for actually having placed some boundaries. In that case, I think the book would have had less positive impact soon after the discard. It was very insightful and I recommend reading it after a few months of therapy when you’re rescued from the guilt, shame and regret, in a safe place, so that you can focus on yourself and your own journey as opposed to the abuse.

Great insights!
As someone recovering from the effects of a long term intimate relationshit with an extremely disordered woman, I found this book very helpful. Richard's work helped me break the trauma bonds after I ended it, and this and his ongoing work has helped look within myself for answers as to why I let it go on as long as I did.
Well done!

What our species needs to hear rn
I loved it. It all resonates deeply. Too deeply unfortunately, and sadly.
But it did help me feel understood and seen, and not alone in my way of thinking about love, relationships, humans, and life in general. This education should be taught prior to people even dating, in my opinion.
Thank you for your time and thoughts Richard. You truly are making a much needed difference by exposing “the game” of it all. Thank god…I’m so sick of it all 💆🏻♀️ keep fighting the good fight, I look forward to sending you the invite to the retreat 🤟🥷💪🔥❤️☯️🖖☮️🦋

Narcissistic Self-Indulgence
These are the mediocre ramblings of a YouTuber with no insight. He spends infinitely more time discussing his fondness for martial arts and psychedelics than he does giving useful advice or information. I tried to give it a chance, but as soon as he said he listened to Jordan Peterson lectures as leisure, I turned it off. A waste of an Audible credit and not useful to me at all.
