In this episode we are joined by a long-time listener of the podcast who has insightful questions about narcissism.  This interview effectively illustrates the complexity of narcissism, the challenges of parenting, the importance of self-awareness and how Jim is inadvertently reenacting a part of his childhood relationship with his father.  Jim's interest in learning and improving his relationship with his daughter is palpable, he is open and honest about everyday parental challenges.
