{"product_id":"narcissists-from-mars-and-venus-boris-kriger-9798247555001","title":"Narcissists from Mars and Venus","description":"In Narcissists from Mars and Venus, Boris Kriger reveals that the devastating cycle of idealization, devaluation, and discard that characterizes narcissistic relationships is not a mystery of individual pathology but an emergent property of a dynamical system - a pattern that arises whenever five structural conditions are met. The same pattern governs thermostats, authoritarian regimes, cults, corporate hierarchies, addiction, and algorithmic platforms. The equations are identical. Only the variable names change.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a rigorous mathematical framework developed in the author's academic research, this book translates the formal analysis into vivid, accessible prose - no equations required. It explains why the oscillation between warmth and coldness is inevitable, why gaslighting produces a sudden collapse rather than a gradual decline, why the trap tightens with every passing month, and why the diagnostic label 'narcissist' may itself be an instrument of the very mechanism it describes.\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a self-help book. It is a new way of seeing - one that replaces the question 'who is to blame?' with 'what structure produces this?' and replaces moral judgment with engineering precision. Whether you have lived through narcissistic dynamics or simply want to understand how exploitation works across every domain of human life, this book will change the way you see relationships, institutions, and power.\u003cbr\u003eThe dynamics suffice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeywords\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003enarcissism, dynamical systems, gaslighting, manipulation, relationships, psychology, control\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Boris Kriger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798247555001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Boris Kriger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665016590591,"sku":"9798247555001","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narcissists-from-mars-and-venus-boris-kriger-9798247555001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
