    #53- Why Covert Narcissists Are More Dangerous | Richard Grannon

    In this episode, Richard Grannon returns for a third time to explore the people surrounding narcissists — the enablers, the golden children, the black sheep, and everyone caught in the narcissist's orbit. We dive deep into the differences between grandiose and covert narcissism, how each type operates in the real world, and the devastating impact covert narcissistic parenting has on children. From manufactured moral outrage and emotional incest to the long-term effects on adult relationships, this conversation covers the full spectrum of narcissistic abuse dynamics. We also discuss whether social media is manufacturing more narcissists, the loneliness epidemic, and practical dating advice for spotting manipulation before it's too late.Do me a favour and click the subscribe button so you don't miss this season's line up of amazing guests like Richard! -Find Richard here : https://www.richardgrannon.com 0:00 - Intro & Subscribe0:24 - Welcome Back Richard (Third Time)0:42 - The Cast Around the Narcissist1:39 - Grandiose vs. Covert Narcissism5:20 - Schrödinger's Narcissist7:26 - Covert Narcissism & Domestic Violence8:07 - Narcissistic Parents: Covert vs. Grandiose9:11 - Emotional Incest & Parentification10:41 - Neuroticism & the Covert Narcissist15:25 - Manufactured Moral Outrage17:29 - The Highs: Charm & Love Bombing19:20 - How Covert Narcissist Parents Affect Adult Relationships20:24 - Why Richard Hates How Attachment Styles Are Used24:10 - The Golden Child vs. The Black Sheep29:37 - Psychopath vs. Narcissist Parents32:33 - Dating Advice: Red Flags & Boundaries37:40 - Is Social Media Creating More Narcissists?45:49 - Loneliness, Technology & the Human Condition

    #51- Happiness isn't What You Think It Is!

    In this deeply personal conversation, bestselling author and former Google X Chief Business Officer Mo Gawdat sits down to talk about happiness as a practiced skill, the stories we tell ourselves about our childhoods, and why suffering is often a choice rather than something life imposes on us.We dig into:🌟Why happiness (and fitness) is a muscle you have to keep training, not a switch you flip🌟Reframing painful childhood memories through the "vantage point" lens🌟The difference between pain/challenges and self-created suffering🌟The "Eraser Experiment" — why we wouldn't actually erase our worst moments🌟What love really is, and why it's separate from partnership, passion, romance, companionship, friendship, tenderness, and support (the "PPRFCTS")🌟Why slow-burn relationships beat instant chemistry🌟The dating app supply-and-demand problem — and how Emma, an AI-powered relationship app, is trying to fix it by matching people on depth instead of photos🌟A candid, wide-ranging talk about rewriting your inner narrative, redefining love, and reimagining how people find real connection.🔗 Try Emma: app.emma.love🔗 Join the waitlist: emma.love-Hi, I’m Naila Nazer.
