FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
If you didn’t cause it, and you can’t
cure it or control it, you better make darn
sure you understand it
Chicago, IL. - How many women have
been told by mothers and grandmothers that
they have to “kiss a lot of frogs to get to
the prince?” What they neglect to add is
that the prince might be more in love with
himself than with the woman he professes to
adore. This is why all women should read
Lisa Scott’s compassionate and
informative new book It’s All About Him:
How To Identify and Avoid the Narcissistic
Male (Cedar Fort Publishing). Definitely
not another ‘girlie’ story but a
knowledgeable account based on the author’s
first-hand experiences – she says it like it
is and shares the tell-tale signs to look
for (and run from), with advice on how to
cope if you are already involved in such a
relationship.
What woman hasn’t been involved at some
point with a man who doesn’t understand her,
avoids communication, or is basically
obsessed with himself and his issues only?
He can be charming, fun, and exciting in the
beginning but once he knows he has her heart
his true colors will eventually emerge and
his façade will crack – leaving her in the
unenviable position of wondering what
happened to that incredible man she fell in
love with. Remember, narcissists have two
things in common: they depend on a
significant other to provide the
ego-stroking they crave, and they are
addicted to attention. Fear not. Help is on
the way!
It’s All About Him is an informative,
quick-read that helps women understand what
makes these men tick! Given the right tools,
women will be better equipped to avoid such
involvements in the first place. Visit
Lisa’s inspiring message-board on her
website at
www.lisaescott.com that acts as a
support group for women trying to break free
from a narcissistic relationship, and check
out details of her blog talk radio show at:

A Master’s Degree in Human Resources from
Loyola University and working full-time in
the role of human resources’ professional
gives Lisa an opportunity to observe
first-hand human behavior, but it is her own
personal experience in falling for two
pathological narcissists that gives her
credibility as evidenced in her book.

TIP SHEET:
Candace V. Love, PhD Clinical
Psychologist: “Lisa Scott absolutely
grasps the essence of narcissism…was
continually amazed how she was able to take
this very complicated psychological
construct and distill it down to its
fundamental nature-illustrating it in a way
that was easy to understand. She provides a
practical and hopeful approach for any woman
dealing with this type of man.”
Sam Vaknin, PhD, Author of Malignant
Self-Love - Narcissism Revisited:
“Awareness of the pernicious epidemy of
pathological narcissism has been steadily
growing over the last decade and resulted in
a prodigious and copious output of self-help
guides, textbooks, and personal memories…it
is difficult to find something akin to
Lisa’s work: part textbook, part self-help
tome, part personal and painful memoir…only
way to effectively defend against a
narcissist is to learn from the harrowing
experiences of those who fell prey…Lisa has
gone to great lengths to acquaint herself
with the latest scholarly literature and
scrutinize her own encounters with brutal
honesty. The result is a compelling
narrative…makes for a riveting tour de force
of the tortured landscapes of the la-la
lands of malignant self-love.” |
