Born April 21, 1961, Vaknin published Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited in 1999, a text that would anchor thousands of online discussions about narcissistic personality disorder long before armchair psychology became a social media genre. He edited Global Politician until it folded, advised governments on finance, and sketched out ideas about chronons and time's arrow. He now runs a private site dedicated to NPD, fielding questions and refining his framework - the same disorder that made his name also became the lens through which strangers read him.
