The Human Magnet Syndrome: The Codependent Narcissist Trap

Since the dawn of civilization, men and women have been magnetically and irresistibly drawn together, not so much by what they see, feel and think, but more by invisible, unconscious romantic forces. This seductive, alluring and seemingly impossible to avoid love force is the Human Magnet Syndrome. It bonds oppositely-matched partners in a breakup resistant rollercoaster-like relationship. Magnetic-like attraction, or "chemistry," brings codependents and narcissists together in an enchanting fantasy that can never be sustained. Given time, a codependent's soulmate dreams will predictably melt away leaving them with the cellmate reality. This breakthrough book not only explains why codependents habitually fall prey to harmful and manipulative narcissists, but why they predictably sabotage their dreams for freedom, happiness and self-love. Rosenberg's pioneering work on relationships, codependency and narcissism is a necessary road map for receiving healthy love--both from others and ourselves--back cover.
