Here are the 2 listener reviews from Audible.com(FYI) please listen and decide for yourself. You'll know if this book can help you by the end of the free clip.
Sunset12I want to thank the author (and the narrator) of this audiobook for putting into words what I believe is one of the most damaging and painful relationships one can ever experience. I finally understand what true narcissism is and how to recognize and avoid the narcissist in our lives. I highly recommend the audio version. I prefer to listen while I'm commuting to work or doing household chores. The author has provided detailed abundant information and having a narrator with a clear, pleasant voice made it very easy to listen and absorb. I feel free in knowing that we can never really please these people and it wasn't my fault at all!
I found this book to be very enlightening as well as informative. We are all surrounded by many people whose goal is to control us and all situations. The examples found in The Wizard of Oz and other Narcissists points out not only the techniques that these folks use, but also practical advice on how to protect ourselves from their games. Another very interesting thing about the book is the encouragement to take charge of ourselves - while gently being forced to look at ourselves and question whether we too are sometimes guilty of using the same techniques to control others.
I was shocked to find out that the author, Eleanor Payson was not the narrator of the audiobook. Cathryn Bond Doyle has a calming and confident voice. It was comforting as I listened to each chapter. Not sure how she was chosen to narrate, but excellent choice!
A real winning combination!

I have read the book in paperback, downloaded it on my iPad and now am purchasing it for my iPod. I had a dear friend recommend this book to me after sending her a plea of help. I was dealing with a woman in my life that was Narcissistic and had me running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. After reading this book, and with my friends support and love...I FINALLY found some peace to know that I WAS NOT CRAZY!!! And some wonderful tools to cope with the Narcissistic people I wanted in m life and gain control over my emotions and actions. Having the AUDIO book makes it so much easier for me to review certain skills and help get me back on track when I start letting my boundaries slack with the NPD individuals in my life. If you have someone in your life that you feel may be Narcissistic...YOU WILL NOT REGRET getting this on Audio and ebook. It has changed my life and CAN change yours!!!!
Authors: Want your self-help book to become an audiobook?
There’s something about listening to information that can help increase retention and ability to absorb it. Audiobooks reach people who don’t have (or take) the time to sit and read. However, not every author wants to narrate their own self-help book. If you’re open to having a woman narrate your book, we may be able to do this in a way you haven’t previously considered.
In the process of completing the narration work for the audiobook, “The Wizard of Oz & Other Narcissists,” I learned that what the author & I did was unique from the typical audiobook business arrangement. Eleanor has self-published her book since 2002 and she opted to self-publish her audiobook in 2012.This is how it could work for you (Author) and I (CBD) to turn your book into an audiobook:
1. The Author will retain 100% of the rights & 100% of the royalties from the sale of your audiobook.
2. Upon completion, the Author will receive the final audiobook, MP3 file-ready to be uploaded to any publisher, sales & marketing outlets of your choice according to your specifications.
3. The author will have editorial & performance approval for the entire audio script. Wording sometimes needs to be altered when the audience can’t see the words. Also, there may be performances that you want to be read differently. You, as the author will have final say so you are 100% pleased with the final audiobook.
4. CBD will act as producer and narrator for your book for one flat pre-agreed fee which includes all time spent in preparation, interacting with studio, recording & editing time, author reviews, etc
5. CBD will secure studio staff & facilities and provide detailed project estimate to include all known expenses. CBD will be given the rights to use the 20-30 minutes of the audiobook as a demo of her narration.
6. Author will pay studio directly eliminating mark-ups & often state sales taxes.
7. The total project costs vary based on the length of your book. A complete. more detailed proposal will be customized for you based on your book.
