The culture of narcissism : American life in an age of diminishing expectations

Books
When 'The Culture of Narcissism' was first published in 1979, Christopher Lasch was hailed as a 'biblical prophet' (Time). Lasch's identification of narcissism as not only an individual ailment but also a burgeoning social epidemic was ground-breaking. His diagnosis of American culture is even more relevant today, predicting the limitless expansion of the anxious and grasping narcissistic self into every part of American life.
