There is Hope for narcissists. Are you ready to open the box?
Most of us are scared to death to lift the lid on the Pandora’s box of narcissism. Dealing with predatory people leaves us intimidated, scared, and hopeless. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. E. James Wilder rips the cover off the dreaded box and gives us a clear view of both the problem and the surprising solution. Dr. Wilder offers us a new paradigm that moves us away from the individualized therapy model toward the need for identity groups that help each other learn how to love our enemies. You’ll be highlighting insights in nearly every paragraph as you make your way through this fresh approach to a very old problem.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Wilder grew up in villages tucked into the Andes mountains of Colombia and travels learning and teaching resiliency in Southern Sudan, India, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Eastern Europe, Mexico, Korea, Thailand, Chile, Brazil, Alaska and even Canada. Wilder draws on his extensive life experience from his Ph.D. in psychology and M.A. in theology to his walk through many worlds and cultures as a lens to examine life and to tell stories. Transparency, humor, a second look at what we thought was reality and a passion to find a joyful life, create hopeful girls, restore communities and develop deep spirituality fill his books. Wilder is the thinker behind the Life Model, a lifespan guide to being fully human. He is good reading for those who would rather be alive than simply comfortable.

This book is FANTASTIC and so many underlined parts - its changing my life
I've read everything Jim Wilder has put out. Yet, this book takes it to another level.I typed out the MY GROUP IDENTITY AWARENESS LEVEL and have shared it with over 25 people. This has lead to transformative conversations.Join me in the revolution of character change. it is not an individual "project" but it is a community effort and lifestyle.VERY POWERFUL.I invite you into transformation.

5.0 out of 5 stars There is a 12 week support group with this book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2023

This book is fantastic however to really get a handle on narcissism (whether it’s you or someone else) I can’t recommend the Pandora Problem support group that starts every Spring and Fall through Deeper Walk International. It’s an incredibly RICH support group that digs in deep with Barbara Moon who played a vital part in this book being written and wrote the Pandora Problem Participants Guide. She has worked alongside Dr. Wilder and thoroughly knows this material and the tools she brings to the group are excellent. I am a Certified Christian Counselor and use the skills in counseling.

Also if you find that you’re a more easy read kind of person then I highly recommend the book Narcissism Among Us by Maribeth Poole. I’m not saying that this is a hard read, I’m just wanting to acknowledge those who might be a bit more on the fence and want an appetizer rather than a meal. ;-)

While a painfully challenging read at times, if you are sincere about leading others for what you can give and not just what can get, this book--along with RARE Leadership, co-authored by Dr. Wilder--are must reads.

A lot of information on each page. I would listen to, The Other Half of Church podcast, if you can while or before reading. It really helped me form a foundation of understanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hugely revolutionary and transformative thinking
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2020

This book helps me see a clearer line between where my fear was disguising itself as wisdom in relating to narcissists. It also helped me see the difference (in me) of when I am wanting to self-justify vs wanting to be understood. The ability to watch for my own enemy mode and the invitation to walk differently is life changing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Narcissism wanted! Reward:gaining yourself into the Shepherd House
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2020

It shaken and broke many high and thick walls of protection around my narcissism.
Discovered that I considered shame to be non-biblical with horrendous implications for others and for me.
I learned a deeper meaning of we.

This book will rock and shake the Church! And this is good news! I want to pet a "lion" that became an authentic lamb. I wish I would be loved with my permanent "work in progress" maturing process. And I desire to be able to worship to my Jesus with my life summarized like this :"and if I am doing well, let my only glory be giving it back to you" (a paraphrase of a verse in a worship song "Oh Lord You're Beautiful")

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Principles; Awful Editing
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024
Verified Purchase
This book offers biblical principles for dealing with narcissists, especially the narcissists in ourselves. The principles are similar to what Larry Crabb might teach if he were to write a book on this subject--i.e., focusing on deep, heart changes in ourselves rather than others. However, this is probably the worst edited book I have ever read, and I read about 30 books a year. There's no logical, linear progression, only (good) concepts randomly tossed together like a salad. I've heard this book referred to as "dense," but it only seems that way because of its poor writing and organization. I am a very seasoned reader of this genre and very motivated (as well as educated) student of narcissism, and even I find every paragraph to be tough going. I'd give the principles a 10 and the writing/organization a 1.

I have seen narcissism in the leaders of church, community, small groups etc. But this book makes you take a real look at yourself. This is truly a book to help us all, just like the Life Model book but so much deeper. Thank you Dr. Wilder and all the rest of the folks that worked with you on this book especially your dear wife.
