Ray Stukes Jr. believes that an individual should be able to navigate problems through an internal approach—an approach that ensures the individual is emotionally balanced and able to think with a clear purpose. The author aims to create an understanding of what the mindset should look like by narrating his thoughts about the world and existence and drawing links and lessons to impact our reasoning. Ray accomplishes this in his book, "The Self-Centered Perspective: Using Self-Mastery, The Power of Introspection, and Choice to Balance Life's Ups and Downs".

The author seems to be knowledgeable about a lot, which is expected of a psychologist. This expertise enables him to offer several narrations about his perceptions with the aim of fostering understanding in the minds of readers. One example is his perception of equality, which I found comprehensible and agreeable, serving as proof of its truthfulness.

I expected a straightforward book where the author explored practical examples and tips. However, it seemed that those tips and understandings were woven into slightly lengthy stories of creation and existence at different points in the book. I did not appreciate this; many times, I was left to wonder where the author was headed and to reconsider the initially stated main purpose of the book. This caused me some discomfort as I read, and I did not like it. While the points were eventually conveyed, I feel some of the narrations could have been less bulky.

I found one objective error as I read the book. Despite the negatives, I still saw purpose in the book and was able to learn. Many explanations resonated well in the end, and I did not find many errors as initially indicated. Due to this, I will rate the book 4 out of 5. The one-point deduction is due to the negative that disturbed my flow.

Ray Stukes Jr.'s "The Self-Centered Perspective: Using Self-Mastery, The Power of Introspection, and Choice to Balance Life's Ups and Downs" is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in personal development and psychological insights. I recommend it to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of self-mastery and personal growth.

The review recognizes the author's breadth of expertise, which is to be anticipated from a psychologist, and enables him to provide perceptive narratives about his observations.
The reviewer found his views on equality, for instance, to be understandable and agreeable.
