Pathological altruism
Synopsis
This groundbreaking book delves into the often-overlooked negative aspects of altruism and empathy, traits typically seen as uniformly positive. It explores how an unhealthy focus on others, to the detriment of one's own needs, can manifest as pathological altruism and potentially underpin certain personality disorders. The book challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of these complex human behaviors.
