Synopsis
A runaway bestseller in Sweden that has sold more than a million copies worldwide, Surrounded by Idiots shares a simple, revolutionary method of understanding the people around you that will change how you interact with everyone from your coworkers to your spouse. Author Thomas Erikson explains that there are four key behavior types that define how we interact with and perceive the people around us. Understanding someone's pattern of behavior is the key to successful communication. The so-called "idiots" in our lives are most often simply people who have a different behavior profile and style of communication. Erikson breaks down the four kinds of behavior types--Reds who are dominant and commanding, Yellows who are social and optimistic, Greens who are laid back and friendly, and Blues who are analytical and precise--and explains how to identify and interact with each type of person. Instead of being bogged down with overly technical categorizations, the simple four-color system allows you to speedily identify a friend or coworker and adjust how you speak and share with them. Surrounded by Idiots is full of practical information for interacting with people based on their color, including the strengths and weaknesses of all the profiles, how to give positive and negative feedback to each, and the best way to word an email when writing to someone with a different profile., Do you ever think you're the only one making any sense? Or tried to reason with your partner with disastrous results? Do long, rambling answers drive you crazy? Or does your colleague's abrasive manner rub you the wrong way? You are not alone. After a disastrous meeting with a highly successful entrepreneur, who was genuinely convinced he was 'surrounded by idiots', communication expert and bestselling author, Thomas Erikson dedicated himself to understanding how people function and why we often struggle to connect with certain types of people. Surrounded by Idiots is an international phenomenon, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide. It offers a simple, yet ground-breaking method for assessing the personalities of people we communicate with - in and out of the office - based on four personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow), and provides insights into how we can adjust the way we speak and share information. Erikson will help you understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get the best out of the people you deal with and manage. He also shares simple tricks on body language, improving written communication, advice on when to back away or when to push on, and when to speak up or shut up. Packed with 'aha!' and 'oh no!' moments, Surrounded by Idiots will help you understand and communicate with those around you, even people you currently think are beyond all comprehension. And with a bit of luck you can also be confident that the idiot out there isn't you!, Do you ever think you're the only one making any sense?

Seller feedback (5,976)
- n***n (210)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseCannot say enough good about this seller. Communication was on par, product arrived well packaged, maybe a little too well packaged, and perfect condition, as described. I highly recommend this seller.
- o***j (144)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseDid not receive what was advertised. This entire box set and the contents within are all FAKES. thin pages, blurry print, I thought the price was lower because I was getting a *used* product, but the box was in poor condition and the books inside were all counterfeit and look awful. I got scammed $147.56. Seller tried offering me $30 which i declined and wanted a full refund. The Post office declined the sellers return address and I am now out everything.
- o***d (476)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExactly as described/Pictured great communication, great seller!!!
