Synopsis:

Impacted by narcissism? You’re not alone.

Celebrity culture drives us to aspire to be like the few who seem to have it all. But is it possible they simultaneously have everything- and nothing?

Behind the glitz, wealth and fame of the celebrities we follow, there is a common trend that impacts all of us. The popular label of “narcissism,” and “narcissist” surfaces in all of our lives and results in self-destructive behaviors common to modern life, including stress, addiction, anxiety, fear, imposter syndrome, infidelity, and depression.

Having treated some of the world’s most successful, wealthiest people and celebrities, Dr. Paul Hokemeyer applies his findings to tell us why so many people get trapped in narcissistic relationship cycles and shows how we can diminish their impact on ourselves and the people we love.

Dr. Paul Hokemeyer (J.D., PH.D.) is the founder of Drayson Mews, a global resource for UHNW individuals, couples and families seeking clinically effective mental and relational health services, a licensed marriage and family therapist and graduate of the Global Leaders in Healthcare program at Harvard Medical School.

In his book, Fragile Power, Dr. Paul shares from the therapist’s chair how feelings of shame, insecurity, abandonment, and emotional pain are all part of the human condition and how all of us, regardless of our levels of wealth, can heal ourselves, our relationships and the world we are privileged to live in.

About the Author: Dr. Paul believes mental health matters for everyone, everywhere.

A licensed marriage and family therapist, he is a graduate of the Global Leaders in Healthcare program at Harvard Medical School. In his first book, Fragile Power: Why Having Everything is Never Enough, Dr. Paul explores how narcissism and the misuse of narcissistic power when combined with great financial wealth causes individual, relational and social destruction. Dr. Paul has been compared to a modern Irvin Yalom, MD for his ability to capture the essence of the psychotherapeutic relationship through compelling therapist and patient narratives. He and his work have been featured in a variety of leading media outlets including the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, London's Daily Mail, CNN, and others. He resides with his family in Telluride, Colorado where he can be found shuttling around kids in a late model Toyota 4Runner, communing with mother nature from a camper van, practicing headstands on a yoga mat and singing along with the Indigo Girls, loudly.
