In this week's episode of The Chris Senise Podcast, we welcome back Professor Sam Vaknin to explore the evolution of a family nucleus and why children were historically raised by a village.

Professor Vaknin is author of "Malignant Self-Love", amongst several others, and is a psychology expert and commentator known for his groundbreaking work on Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and psychopathy.

Our conversation explains a 100-year experiment based on what community really means, why connection matters for human growth, and how society shapes (and sometimes distorts) our sense of self. Prof. Vaknin brings his bold insights and research-driven perspective, challenging us to think deeper about identity, belonging, and the balance between individual and collective needs.
