Additional text

"Dan McAdams is one of the world's top experts on the psychology of personality, and in this extraordinary book he applies his talents to the most complicated and consequential personality in American life. McAdams offers no psychiatric diagnosis, just a series of stunning insights that will reduce the confusion so many people around the world have felt since 2016. McAdams' analysis of Donald Trump's lack of any "narrative arc" tying together his never-ending succession of energizing deals and battles is haunting and enlightening. There may be no more important book to read in 2020."
