Envy, Entitlement, Revenge, and Negativity

The book stresses the philosophy that revenge and negativity are the result of poor parenting. Mother, for a variety of reasons, is not available to the infant, and father is missing. The four conditions of the book title are related to the faulty parenthood as well as being related to each other. The first eight chapters present the author's orientation and philosophy. There are six chapters dedicated to the exploration of envy, entitlement, and revenge, followed by six chapters on negativity. The final chapter of the book ties the book together.
