The Loneliness IndustryE12: Western Spiritualism, Ego Death, and the Problems with Psychology – Sam Vaknin Interview Pt 2In Part 2 of the conversation with Sam Vaknin, we begin by exploring the cycle between covert and overt narcissism — how these shifts unfold, and why they matter. From there, the focus shifts to Western spiritualism: why movements that preach ego death and “killing the self” often misunderstand both healthy ego formation and the traditions they claim to borrow from.We also look at how self-help movements decouple us from our intuition, turning healing into a commodity built on magical thinking. Finally, the discussion circles back to psychology itself: is the DSM a genuine map of human health, or just a manu...

The Happiness QuotientThe Howling Void - Making Fantasy a Reality & The Narcissist's Hostile Takeover of Other PeopleIn this episode: Prof. Sam Vaknin explains narcissism as a disruption in early childhood self-formation, leading to a lack of boundaries, empathy, and a false self.

Vaknin highlights the narcissist's ability to manipulate others through shared fantasies, exploiting their vulnerabilities. He contrasts narcissism with other mental illnesses, noting its unique blend of emotional dysregulation and controlled behavior. Vaknin also critiques social media's role in fostering negative emotions and isolating individuals, contributing to a broader societal disconnection from reality....

The Happiness QuotientThe Everest-sized Problem of Social Media and Narcissism w/Professor Sam Vaknin | Social Media are Engines of Negative EmotionsA vast number of those under the age of 35 spend between six and eight hours a day using computer simulated games, essentially in a world far from reality. And, what's worse, the vast and expanding realm of social media are designed to bring out and leverage the worst in their users, all negative affects such as anger and malicious envy. It is a toxic environment. The core philosophy of social media is asocial. They want you divorced or with no friends. They want your eyeballs on the screen at all times....more eyeballs, more advertising, more money for them.

Otherworld ConnectionsAvoid ThemWith authorities on Narcissism being either "Dark Triads" themselves or strongly advising to completely disengage the "Dark Triads", can we ever solve the problem of Narcissism? Is it even a problem any more? It must be up to the victims to completely change, be stronger and more willing to refuse to be a victim, stand up for themselves and take things less seriously. In a world without victims, dark triad types would not be such a big deal, because it really is only an issue for those that have been victimised by such people. Perhaps dark personalities come into our...
