Sam Vaknin is an Israeli author who’s written extensively on the question of borderline and narcissism - and this with an unparalleled clarity. Above all, he, who has wonderfully declared himself a contemporary of Shakespeare, is someone whose gaze looks far beyond the narrow confines of the psychological discipline. This is due not least to the fact that he can look back on an eventful life in which he has held a wide variety of positions: startup founder, head of an investment fund, and advisor to various governments. In addition to a professorship in psychology, he also holds a professorship in finance. Besides that, he runs a YouTube channel with a quarter of a million followers. His book Malignant Self-Love, now in its 10th edition, has become a classic in the literature on narcissism.
