Course Details

The backfire of the human potential movement is excessive emphasis on the individual, leading to not only a me-first attitude but also a strong disregard for the feelings and rights of others. Narcissists self-aggrandize, believe they are special when they are not, and become aggressive when challenged. The development, symptoms, and possible treatment of the epidemic of narcissism are covered in the course. Ideally teachers can help rein it in, leading to a more civil and productive society.
