Description:
Ever felt like you’re speaking one language while the person in front of you is speaking another—even though it’s the same words?
Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson is a witty and eye-opening guide that reveals why people behave the way they do. Using four simple color-coded personality types—Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow—Erikson helps you understand why some people drive you crazy, why miscommunication happens so often, and how you can finally make sense of it all.
From difficult bosses to unpredictable friends and even family conflicts, this book turns daily frustrations into “aha!” moments. With humor, practical examples, and sharp insights, Erikson shows you how to decode behavior, adapt your communication, and build better connections with just about anyone. Once you learn to see the world through this lens, you’ll never look at people the same way again.
