Four couples are the focus, but behind the seemingly perfect love lies a dark secret: one of them is a narcissist. Be it the open narcissist who wraps his victims around his finger with charm and manipulation, or the covert narcissist who wears his mask so perfectly that even the closest confidants don't recognize him - the stories of these couples leave no one untouched. The experienced coach Lucius, himself a friend of the victims, steps in. With his humorous yet profound manner, he accompanies the four friends on their journey to free themselves from the clutches of emotional abuse. In a playful way, he shows them - and the reader - how they can break through the toxic patterns and find themselves again. Narcissist in the City not only tells gripping stories, but also offers valuable solutions.
