About this listen

We seem to wake up to a new tragedy in the news every day - Newtown, Boston, Aurora, Columbine. So often the reporters say that "there were some signs, but nobody acted". The scary part about these tragedies is that less than one percent of criminals are incarcerated for their crimes, meaning that for every headline, there are millions of dangerous situations in which average people find themselves. On top of that, how can ordinary people identify threats from those who may not hurt them physically, but can devastate their lives on a daily basis - the crazy coworkers, out-of control family members, or relentless neighbors? In Dangerous Personalities, former FBI profiler Joe Navarro shows listeners how to identify the four most common "dangerous personalities", and analyze how much of a threat each one can be: the Narcissist, the Predator, the Paranoid, and the Unstable Personality. Along the way, listeners learn how to protect themselves both immediately and long-term - as well as how to recover from the trauma of being close to such a destructive force.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

I wish Joe Navarro was my Uncle …

This book has saved my sanity and my life. I wish I had this book to read in my teen years. Would have changed the trajectory of my life. Joe Navarro is a great gift. Buy everything he writes and read it, reread it and then read it again.

A very interesting read

Concise, to the point and in plain language, the book is a very interesting look at the behaviors and attitudes that may indicate a malevolent individual. The check lists are easy to understand and apply to every day life.

If you feel uneasy or threatened, this book can be an excellent resource to validate your observations and provide the impetus for action.

A quick listen, I was able to finish the book in a single sitting. For the time investment, it was surprisingly thought provoking and I would strongly recommend to anyone in distress or with even a slight interest in self defense or psychology.

WISH I HAD READ SOONER

This book was very illuminating. I wish that I had read it years ago. I realize now that my Mom is a dangerous personality.....a paranoid personality disorder. She has been very difficult to deal with all th 70 + years of my life. But now at 72 I am finally able to deal with her and get some closure in my life.

no bibliography

At several points in the book the bibliography is recommended to find further reading but neither the audio of the book nor the pdf includes it.

À lire et partager

J’aime comment ce livre nous fournit de bons outils au quotidien pour se protéger.
Cependant, je recommande aux futurs lecteurs de le lire par petits morceaux. Ça réveille des traumatismes qu’il faut prendre soin de gérer.

VERY GOOD READ

I was very impressed and the book was very informative... having to get back into the dating scene, it's great that the book really helps us be vigilant and pay attention to signs that we all too often ignore. I appreciate that the author made sure to use the gender labels interchangeably.
