Marian Balogun started her journey in Canada almost three years ago and decided to educate individuals about narcissistic abuse through her book “The Different Faces of Narcissism” which recently became #1 on Amazon’s abuse and self-defense category. Her book’s success drives from her personal experience with narcissistic individuals in her surroundings.

Born in the United Kingdom and raised in Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, Marian’s interest in literature began during the military regime in her home country.

Preface

Everyone has at least one book in them, they say. I had always known that I would author a book, but I could not quite figure out what genre it would be. Growing up, I always read self-help books to get a better understanding of life. I enjoyed reading them because they had practical solutions and advice for solving personal problems.

I guess you can say this motivated me to document my personal experience in this book, with the hope that the reader would gain some valuable lessons from my mistakes, when they find themselves in a similar dilemma. Sometimes, life throws us curve balls without warning; the thing is to always try to figure out the lessons from the experience.

A popular saying by the English Poet John Donne, declares that “No man is an island unto himself”, which alludes human beings need one another to thrive as part of a community. I am learning that the secret is not to lose ourselves in community.

The key is to maintain healthy boundaries that leave everyone happy, at the end of the day, we all desire mutually beneficial relationships and not the one-sided types. Life throws all kinds of experiences at us, some good, others bad. In my situation, I had decided to relocate from Nigeria to Canada to further my education and begin a fresh start after a very emotionally draining divorce.
