i wonder if it was featured on OPRAH....LOL
I used to work in a bookstore and every time Oprah reviewed or even mentioned a book title, we sold out of it in one day.I think today, people are grabbing hold of any explanation for the way they are feeling. They can't just simply exist in the pain that they feel. This world is a hard place to take and sometimes a little validation makes one feel better. I have a hundred books like this(not this one in particular) and just knowing that someone else is experiencing the same feelings helps.
just a theory
tina> I work in a bookstore and cannot *believe* how many copies of this title we sell! I'm sure I notice it only because I snagged a copy for myself (having a quasi-diagnosis of Borderline PD)--but between that book and Stop Walking on Eggshells, Borderline Personality Disorder seems to be a bestseller in the world of psychology. I'm never asked to locate a book on the narcissistic personality, antisocial, shizotypal, etc...
