NPD is a hot topic in the pop psychology world, but is it really a pathology? Might there be an evolutionary purpose. I discuss this with my friends Om Rupani and psychotherapist Joseph Teskey. _____________________________________________________________ I took a break from visual content 2021-22.

Should you "Go hard" or "Embrace where you're at?" Each of these two impulses have a time when they are useful but also negative fallout.-- Going hard gets results, but at the wrong time can lead to burn out.
