CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE: Transforming the 27 Types of Narcissism from the Inside Out- jULY 10, 2025

Expands the conversation on narcissism by showing how it distorts our relationships, institutions, and collective sense of self—and how we begin to heal.

In this groundbreaking follow-up to The Narcissist in You and Everyone Else, Sterlin Mosley invites readers beyond basic diagnosis into transformation. Drawing on his expertise in human relations and his deep understanding of empathy, identity, and personality, Mosley reveals how narcissism isn’t always loud, grandiose, or obvious. It often wears the mask of helpfulness, self-sacrifice, perfectionism, or even spiritual wisdom.

Through case studies, cultural analysis, and a new framework for understanding power and empathy, Center of the Universe examines how narcissism quietly shapes families, organizations, political ideologies, and even our inner dialogue. Instead of reducing narcissism to a single personality trait, Mosley offers a compassionate lens that empowers readers to recognize these patterns in themselves and others—and to begin the real work of transformation.

Whether you’re navigating toxic relationships, unraveling internalized shame, or trying to lead with more integrity, Center of the Universe offers a clear, soulful, and practical path toward deeper empathy and lasting change.
