A Chance for Change. Up to now, the reasons why egoism is increasingly permeating and characterizing our society have gone unrecognized. We often hear that we live in an egoistic, narcissistic society and belong to a "generation incapable of relationships." Many people suffer from this, they suppress their feelings, because they are afraid of intimacy and getting hurt. They experience sex and love as separate from one another, have difficulties with empathy, responsibility and commitment, or always have to be the center of attention. Many belittle others and are fixated solely on money and power. In contrast, others often feel like they are the victim and they find taking care of themselves difficult. Find out why you are the way you are and what you can do to change it. In this book, you will find the results of Marion Kohn's five-year, root cause analysis explained in a way everyone can understand. This book contains a revolutionary discovery. For the first time, it describes the causality leading to the emergence of narcissistic and altruistic behavior patterns - and how this behavior can be resolved. These personality changes affect all of us. We are all responsible for ourselves and our actions, for our interpersonal relationships, the way we raise our children and how we interact with our fellow human beings in both our personal and professional lives. With its sound theoretical framework and numerous case examples, this book gives you the chance to affect deep and lasting positive change in your personality. By resolving your narcissistic and altruistic behavior patterns, you create the foundation for being capable of relationships and thus, improving all your interpersonal relationships. With it, you will nurture the love and empathy you have for yourself and your fellow man. This leads to greater personal well-being and success in many areas of your life as well as to benefits for our society as a whole.

Every day we hear stories about the consequences of human frailties for individuals, their families and friends, and their organizations. Some of these stories are about alcohol and drug addiction and other harmful lifestyle choices, but human frailty also leads to all kinds of unethical and illegal behaviour. Individuals are convicted of bribery and corruption, price fixing, theft and fraud, sexual harassment and abuse of authority. Politicians fiddle their expenses, sports people cheat and fix matches and school and university students and teachers cheat to enhance exam results. Studies have shown that business students cheat more than others and efforts to teach ethical behaviour in business schools make little difference. The media who bring us stories of others' frailties themselves engage in unethical and illegal conduct in pursuit of an edge over their rivals. The contributions to this latest addition to Gower's Psychological and Behavioural Aspects of Risk Series place the spotlight on individuals, their behavioural choices and the consequences that follow for theirs and others' lives and careers. The conclusion is that people do have choices and options and that, whilst there are no easy or quick fixes in addressing self-limiting behaviours, successful avoidance of the worst outcomes can been achieved. This book provides guidance on the practical steps that need to be taken in order to gain a sense of proportion of what is important and of how we are doing, if we are to address our frailties and stop making unethical choices.
