Are you truly taking care of yourself?

Or are you too busy taking care of everyone else?

So many of us find it easier to love other people than to love ourselves. We struggle to put our own needs first and have a hard time asking for what we want, let alone going after it. Instead, we attach ourselves to selfish people, trying over and over to win love from those who simply can’t offer it.

If that sounds familiar, you may be the victim of narcissistic abuse.

In A Cult of One, Richard Grannon exposes the insidious effects of narcissistic abuse and shares his own winding road to recognition and recovery. Through martial arts, mysticism, psychedelics, and psychology, spanning over four continents and forty-four years of life, Grannon discovered a systematic discipline for healing. Join him as he explains step by step—with courage, humor, and optimism—how to forge your own path to a better life.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Grannon helps us navigate the most difficult terrains of the human psyche with a unique combination of intellect, humor, and personal experience. Rather than keep his distance behind a cold glass partition, he reaches out to say, 'This is what happened to me, and these are the techniques that helped me get through it.'"

— Sean Ono Lennon, musician

"I deeply appreciate Richard Grannon's work in helping people understand and overcome narcissistic abuse and cult brainwashing. While what was done to many of us might have been unavoidable and perhaps out of our control, the healing and preventative measures are very much in our control. Grannon inspires us to find our individuated self and interrelate with society as a more whole human, dropping essential knowledge for living a more meaningful life."

— Mark Vicente, film director

"To be on the receiving end of narcissistic abuse is disorienting, to say the least. It can also create destructive relationship patterns in the recipient that are hard to recognize and difficult to overcome. In this inspiring book, Richard Grannon combines the spiritual, the philosophical, and the practical. With his usual humility and good humor, he takes us through his own journey to triumph over the abuse that set him on a difficult path."

— Shawn Smith, MD, psychologist and author

"This book, filled with the author's touching personal life's experiences, gives priceless insights on how to live and survive our minds and the abuse of others. This is a must-read."

— Piero San Giorgio, bestselling author of Survive the Economic Collapse

"Richard Grannon's work has been the most effective, practical, and relatable approach for properly making sense of the complexities within interpersonal relationships and internal struggles that I have found. He cuts straight to the source and always gives a very useful method to understand and deal with the issues at hand. I would highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with the adversities of life."

— PierreXO, musician

"I so appreciate Richard Grannon's work. He is a major force in enlightening the world about the travesties and widespread incidence of complex PTSD. I continuously hear from many survivors about the therapeutic helpfulness of his work."

— Pete Walker, psychotherapist

Richards’s book has helped me see things I’ve struggle with for years

This book has beautifully authentic snippets of the authors first hand struggle dealing with abusive people.

He gives succinct, practical and personally adaptable advice to dealing with ourselves (who are usually struggling with codependency).

By articulating the experiences and forms of codependency it’s really helped me shine light on some parts I thought others didn’t understand.

I’m really grateful that the author shared his journey and gave great advice for reconnecting with myself and breaking the relationship with a harsh inner critic.

This book was very easy to read. I read it in one day and felt like there was a lot of wisdom in it. Don’t feel like I gained a whole lot of knowledge on how to deal with the toxic people in my life, but more about how to make myself less affected by them, because really thats all we can do right? I also think this book will be read by my partner who needs it more than I do to help him see how abusive his family has been to him. The author is able to relay his stories in ways that men will be receptive to want to hear it rather than shut down. Its a good book.

I recently found out about Mr. Grannon and I became a fan of his YouTube channel. This book was a fairly easy read. I was able to read and digest most of it in a few days. Other self help books take me months to read because it is packed with so much dense information. His advice is very straightforward and easy to understand. Sometimes when I read self help books they begin to sound a bit too cryptic. This book was not like that. I like that he emphasizes the importance of developing a strong spiritual life when healing from narcissistic abuse. I will probably read this book again in a few months because I am sure there are things in this book that I will forget. Mr Grannon obviously does not have all the answers and he is very honest about that. None of us have all the answers. I really hope Mr. Grannon publishes more books in the future. I am looking forward to reading more of his work.

I have been following Richard Grannon's YouTube channel for over 7 years. He was one of the first voices who resonated with me when I realized I was likely "codependent" and surrounded by narcissistic people. His wise, witty, and direct discussions have been greatly appreciated, so I bought this book mostly to show my support and gratitude.

I haven't been reading a lot lately, so I expected to just dive into it a chapter at a time. A day later, I had devoured the entire thing! It was captivating, validating, and incredibly insightful.

I really appreciated the honesty in which Richard showed up and shared his story. As a folllower, I had always wondered how he came to be such an expert. I see that like so many of us who find our way into coaching, the path was not really a chosen one. He learned all he could for his own survival. My story is somewhat similar, as I offer support to women in this type of healing work and wrote the book, "Online Dating for Sensitive Women" to help others with the challenges I've faced.

If you have ever struggled with codependency or narcissistic abuse, I know you will get much support and healing from the simple exercises shared in "A Cult of One." My copy is filled with highlighted passages that I plan to return to when in need. One of my favorites is this affirmation: “I am my own self. I am only responsible for the things I can control. Other people and their problems are entirely their problems. I detach from the impulse to solve other people’s problems for them.”

Thank you so much for all that was written.. There is much one can gain from reading this book. My favorite parts were in the descriptions of how to imagine things you want to bring into your life… One can read these particular pages many many times and gain something new…. The last few pages of the book capture well Grannon’s intention to help people regain themselves and enjoy the beautiful journey…..

Here is a person without any psychological degrees or credentials but he sounds very in touch with his own journey and has very helpful observations. I’m very glad he wrote this book and very glad I read it. Somehow I don’t remember encountering the word “hyper agreeable” before but it sheds more light on my own father and me and my siblings than any other single word I can think of.

Best book on Narcissistic Abuse!

Reviewed in Australia on May 20, 2023

Verified Purchase

I absolutely loved this book. It is written as though you are sitting down and having a conversation with Richard himself.
He is so honest and encourages you to see things from different perspectives.
Best of all he encourages you to empower yourself.

Unlike other books on narcissistic abuse where I have been left feeling like a victim, Richard encourages you to change your view of what you have been through, to learn and grow and truly value yourself so you no longer allow those kinds of people into your life anymore.

This book is highly recommended for absolutely everyone, because in reality we are living in a narcissistic world where we are all affected by narcissistic types on all parts of the spectrum in all areas of our lives.

He’s good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2023

You know this was a really good book. There is something about this guy that is kind of inspired, he’s very intelligent and witty but also I think its something to do with the work ethic he brings to his own healing, and his humility and courage, there are times when he is crystal clear in his insight and expression, creating light bulbs for the readers, like a Pete Walker book.

The only part I really couldn’t relate to was the politics of consumerism and capitalism as the unquestioned root of all evil. I believe capitalism is as good or bad as the laws the politicians create to regulate it, politicians we freely vote in. And what would we replace it with? Careful what we wish for.

Finally I think its incredibly brave to write a book like this about your own experiences and to be so open and honest about your family history, it was very interesting and enlightening and I assume it is proof that you can retain some relationship with your family and still write a book like this, to be true to yourself. I wish I was so brave. I also really liked that he says he hasn’t figured it all out, this was very relatable. I wish him well in the reminder of his healing, I am confident he will get there and continue to help a lot of us along the way for which I am very grateful.

Guidance from a lived experience

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2022

I’ve briefly met Richard, on a couple of occasions, whilst attending his seminars - one in Heathrow and one in Liverpool. And in certain ways I’ve always had an affinity with and towards him. Not just that we share the same forename, but that we grew up in the same area of the Wirral during roughly the same period, albeit I am 3 or 4 years older than him.

My knowledge of narcissistic abuse and co-dependent behaviour is both personal and professional. I was raised by a narcissistic mother and have had many narcissistic/codependent relationships in my time. But I am also trained as a therapist, (specifically in Transactional Analysis) and have met many clients who have also subconsciously fallen into such toxic relationships.

Richard has always been a bit of a mythical kind of individual if you’ve followed his YouTube channel. I think he’s more than aware of how he can be perceived at times. I’d say this book helps dispel some of that cultish tag he can carry and shows his more human side and his lived experiences.

Whilst the book didn’t teach me anything I don’t already know about toxic relationships, it was nice to learn more about Richard and see another side to his personality.

Well done for being brave and publishing it!
