Malignant Narcissism & Our Undoing as a Species - FRANK YEOMANS

What is malignant narcissism? Is there really such a thing as a 'death drive'? Frank Yeomans explains what can happen when a malignant narcissist is the leader of a group (using Jim Jones and the Jonestown Massacre as an example), and how narcissism and egocentrism, along with a need for comfort, are threatening our survival as a species (climate change anyone?).

This piece elaborates on ideas touched on in our previous video, "Why People Follow a Trump (or a Hitler): Malignant Narcissism & Simplicity" - you can find that here: https://youtu.be/xoRuzpsLzTU

We talked with Frank Yeomans about Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and how it can affect us on a personal and societal level.
