Synopsis
Part of the bestselling Surrounded by Idiots series! #1 internationally bestselling author Thomas Erikson shows readers how to identify and avoid the psychopaths around them. Charming, charismatic, and delightful or manipulative, self-serving, and cunning? Psychopaths are both and that's exactly what makes them dangerous. Bestselling author of the international phenomenon Surrounded by Idiots, Thomas Erikson reveals how to identify the psychopaths in your life and combat their efforts to control and manipulate. Using the same simple four-color system of behavior classification that made Surrounded by Idiots so popular, Surrounded by Psychopaths teaches readers how to deal with psychopaths in their lives by becoming aware of their own behavior and their weaknesses. Vivid example stories illustrate ways that psychopaths can take advantage of various behavior types, helping readers identify their own weaknesses and be proactive about protecting themselves. Erikson outlines some of the most common forms of manipulation used by psychopaths--and others--to influence those around them. Since manipulation can often be a feature of ordinary, non-psychopathic relationships, the book also includes practical methods and techniques to help readers confront controlling people and rehabilitate negative relationships into mutually respectful ones. By understanding your behavior as well as the tendencies and strategies of psychopaths, Surrounded by Psychopaths will teach you to protect yourself from manipulative influence in your workplace, social life, and family., In the#1 international bestseller Surrounded by Idiots, Thomas Erikson transformed the way millions of people communicate and interact by using his simple, four-color behavior system. But what about people who are beyond categorization? These people might be out to get you. In Surrounded by Psychopaths, Erikson uncovers the danger of these mysterious figures. Estimated at 2 percent of the global population, psychopaths defy expectations of empathy and compassion, in favor of self-serving, remorseless manipulation. Psychopaths are keenly observant and ruthlessly exploitative, and can destroy your work or homo life in an instant. Here you'll find the tools to protect yourself and the ones you love from their influence, including: The most common psychopathic tendencies and how psychopaths behave in office settings and in their personal lives, The vulnerabilities of your unique behavior type and how to protect yourself, Common methods of manipulation used by psychopaths, Methods and techniques for confronting and putting a stop to manipulation Book jacket.
