Letter: On the truth about narcissists (1)

Published 15 October 2025

From Matthew Stevens, Sydney, Australia

David Robson’s article on narcissism is enlightening and a reminder that we can all get carried away with trying to appear cleverer than we are. But the final paragraph sidesteps the elephant in the room: we may well be better off without narcissists, but when we grant them power, they destroy lives and economies. Avoiding them is easier said than done(27 September, p 46).
