How Narcissists Hijack Your Brain - Dr Peter Salerno (Video)
In this 7 March 2026 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Dr Peter Salerno, a social psychologist, professor, and researcher.
Why are narcissists so manipulative? At some point in your life, you’ve probably encountered a narcissist. They can take control of a situation so subtly that before you realise it, you’re caught under their influence. So how can you spot a narcissist early, and what can you do to protect yourself from their manipulation?
Expect to learn why people repeatedly tend to hurt others deliberately, which parts of the brain are actually involved in empathy and self-control, why the idea that “hurt people hurt people” is so attractive, why narcissists often pull someone close and then suddenly push them away, how to spot when flirting or drama turn into manipulation, if someone can be genuinely in emotional pain and still choose to hurt others and more.
