Roselle Park, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/08/2014 -- Narcissism is spreading its web over America and more and more Americans are getting caught in it. The fact that today, technology and contradicting beliefs in faith are ruling the society is the sad reality Americans have to wake up to everyday. Deteriorating foundations of love, respect and compassion towards the society pose a serious threat to its sustenance.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Leo J. Battenhausen and author of the new book, 'Socialcide: How America is Loving Itself to Death' examines the growing problem closely and gives readers a good look into what is causing it and how it is gobbling up what is left of humanity and our society today.

The book presents Americans with shocking yet, true instances of how this shift in beliefs is in existence and will likely to swoop in further creating an irreparable rift. Battenhausen urges readers to take action to prevent what is happening which is continuing to infiltrate the very essence of our society.

Through his book he wishes to give Americans a chance to comprehend the magnitude of the problem while taking small yet strong steps in stopping the madness from reaching its peak.

'Socialcide: How America is Loving Itself to Death' is already a huge hit as it has registered great success in many reader circles in addition to being recognized by New York Times bestselling author, Shanna Hogan who comments

"In Socialcide author Leo J. Battenhausen has put together a compelling examination of the American epidemic of extreme narcissism that has invaded society. Battenhausen's engrossing account of this dangerous trend is thought-provoking and paints a scary picture of the impact of the trend. How dangerous is America's obsession with self-absorption? Perhaps "selfies" are just the latest example of how full of one's self one can get."
