Surrounded by Idiots : The Four Types of Human Behavior

Ever wonder why some people drive you crazy—while others just get you?

Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson is a must-read communication and self-awareness book that breaks down the different personality types we deal with every day—at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Based on the popular DISC model, Erikson uses four color-coded personality types (Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue) to explain why people think, act, and communicate the way they do.

With humor and clarity, Erikson shows how to recognize these traits in yourself and others, so you can improve conversations, avoid misunderstandings, and build better relationships. Whether you're dealing with a pushy boss, a sensitive friend, or a super-analytical coworker, this book gives you the tools to respond more effectively and reduce daily friction.

Perfect for professionals, managers, or anyone who wants to improve their people skills, Surrounded by Idiots is the best book for learning how to understand—and even appreciate—the quirks of those around you.
