Talking to ... Sam Vaknin

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.
