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.
