Counter-Narcissist Database
2025 Solutional Psychological Reference Index.
Please find the updated CNI database. For those unfamiliar with how the library is designed to function, it is important not to think of CNI as a publication. This “archive” is a mostly free resource library of our think tank. It is meant to provide as many good people as possible, with as much Counter-Narcissist Intelligence as possible, on as many subjects time and resources allow us to cover well.
What makes CNI’s nonfiction news and psychological intel fairly unique is that while the usefulness of today’s news fades with time, properly interpreted psychology rarely ages and continues to guide. Therefore, our highest recommendation is to regularly scan the “archive” for areas relevant to your updated interests, and re-read pieces when applicable to your evolving needs and Counter-Narcissist awareness.
Personal note: I often re-read CNI and other psychological analysis because I am almost always reminded of some forgotten detail or nuance that applies in other areas. There’s too much in psychology for one mind to hold so know re-reading in the norm.
Ergo, each piece has multiple layers and applications, so as the reader’s psychological knowledge grows, they will continue to discover deeper nuance and meanings that do not register when less well-versed in the abstract subject matter CNI tries to simplify.
Thus, a lot of what you really want to know is already in the database and will be waiting for you when ready to hear it, because most of our psychological coverage is written with the goal of staying fresh, logical and useful long after its creation.
Step by step, CNI will endeavor to cover every major narcissist, sociopath and psychopath related subject of interest or importance, from the personal, to the political, to the societal, to the global.
Only time and resources are limiting factors when potential investigative subjects, vectors and layers of unhealthy, toxic and existential narcissism on Planet Earth are almost infinite.
If you are able to become a paid or founding subscriber, you will see your investment grow this Counter-Narcissist library and think tank that is proudly and gratefully helping good people in all 50 states and in 78 countries across the globe.
It is so important to always remember how far behind humanity is in learning how to better recognize, counter and contain the malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths that are living among us or are in our governments, damaging innocents.
Therefore, the more you can help the CNI think tank grow, the more you are tangibly helping yourself and others make America and Earth a better and safer place from the existential psychological and mortal dangers we are all facing from global narcissists.
Of course there are other ways to support the effort such as “likes,” sharing, recommending, commenting, questioning, making suggestions and strengthening CNI’s voice in numbers with free subscriptions. Almost everything constructive is welcome. CNI fears no rational question but does not suffer fools or narcissists for long, because the philosophy dictates not wasting valuable time, and…
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
Once again, please regularly scan the “archive” for information and intelligence relevant to changing areas of interests and growth. Also know suggestions for new subjects are always welcome.
We truly hope you find CNI’s new and evolving index easy to navigate when searching for the answers you seek.
