"Both of his books were very helpful, but you need to be ready to deal with the truth of what you lived through. I read about 30 books before I found these. If I hadn't faced the truth about what I lived with, his books wouldn't have had the same effect. Both books allowed me to switch my focus off of my abuser and on to the inner work I needed - Thank you Mr. Simon!"
"I wish I had found this book earlier. One of the best books on narcissism I have ever read. The cover was slow to catch my eye, but the content showed itself to be just what I needed to read."
"I read How to Kill… six months ago and it really, really helped me. This book How to Bury… is simply incredible. The language hits home. I know I can do this and make permanent changes. Lookout, Narcissists, here comes a wave of change."
Drawing from deep insights and years of research, JH Simon unveils the complex world of narcissistic abuse and its devastating impact. Through a comprehensive exploration of narcissistic personality patterns, from the narcissist's fractured sense of self to their kaleidoscope of manipulative faces, this groundbreaking work illuminates the dark corners of narcissistic relationships.
Simon's unique hero's journey framework guides you through eight transformative stages, helping you rebuild your sense of self and reclaim your personal power. This isn't just another self-help book - it is a complete toolkit for understanding, healing, and thriving beyond narcissistic abuse, separated into five parts:
I. THE 'VILLAIN'
Narcissists come in infinite forms, which is why they catch you off-guard. Dive deep beneath the tip of the iceberg to widen your understanding:
Discover the shadowy roots of narcissism.
Expose the many hidden faces of the narcissist, including the borderline, the histrionic, the psychopath, and other cluster A, B and C personalities.
Study the narcissist's entire playbook, including triangulation, gaslighting and reactive abuse.
II. THE AGE OF NARCISSISM
Explore in detail the roles and dynamics of the narcissistic family, and see how this blueprint corrupts friendships, workplaces, spiritual movements and society at large. Identify your place in this landscape, and above all, rise above it.
III. THE PATH
Learn the building blocks for an actualised, authentic Self — security, vitality, tenacity, divinity and wisdom — and use them as a compass to guide you toward a life of purpose, power and meaning, which the narcissist robbed you of.
IV. THE HERO’S JOURNEY
Embark on a modern-day spiritual quest to rescue your wounded inner child and discover the source of your power — the True Self.
The hero’s journey includes eight stages for ‘Self’-development:
Awakening: Expose and tear down the narcissist’s illusory Dystopia.
Orphanhood: Face and release your abandonment wound. Channel the Orphan archetype to carry you through the wilderness of transformation.

Reclaiming security: Anchor yourself firmly within and learn to thrive in the face of uncertainty and fear.

Reclaiming tenacity: Welcome tension as an agent for growth, and use it to increase your assertiveness and capacity to set boundaries.
Reclaiming divinity: Learn to validate yourself from within, and let go of the need for outside approval.
Reclaiming wisdom: Tap into the vast intelligence inside you and use it for maturity, understanding and insight.
V. THE RETURN
