Do you sense the surge of narcissism and self – centeredness in our culture? Where do you feel the effects of egoism in your life the most?

I see the world as becoming extremely divided and self-centered. Certain areas are much more narcissist than others and certain groups of people are more so. Perhaps this has always been – it is just more noticeable now? I have to remind myself to get out of my own egoism and studying Kabbalah helps me do that.

I have a very strong sense that narcissism and egoism are increasing. Much research into narcissism also shows that narcissism is more prevalent in some cultures – no surprise that the culture that produces the most narcissists is modern, western, culture – and that narcissistic personality disorder (the most extreme form of narcissism) has been rising steadily in recent years. I see this in my own life as well, in terms of how certain people close to me have treated me, which has been personally very painful.
