Seo Jong-han et al.: Dark personality psychology

At some point in life, you have likely looked at someone around you and tilted your head, wondering, "Why is that person acting like that?" These are people who pretend to care for others and act competent on the surface, yet leave behind hurt and confusion the closer you get to them. This book examines their exaggerated exteriors and empty inner selves through the lens of psychology. Focusing on Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy, it explores how dark personality traits manifest and explains how they influence us within relationships, organizations, and society. Furthermore, it offers realistic and concrete alternatives to minimize the psychological pain and harm resulting from relationships with them. Rather than simply labeling someone as "bad," understanding their behavioral principles and limitations serves as a protective force for ourselves. This book will serve as a compass of wisdom to alleviate unnecessary suffering and build more stable and healthy relationships.
