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! Review: What personality type are you? - Fantastic book! Highly recommend for any leader/psychologist or anyone interested in human behaviour. It’s easy to read and has plenty of pictorial diagrams to help the reader to understand too. It’s engaging from beginning to end. There’s an audio version too. Review: Good read - Entertaining, easy read to introduce the subject. Good thing that it is broken down into simplistic and provocative language, keeps you reading even when tired and it makes it very memorable being easy and repetitive. Also, I suspect a purposeful choice to go in order of red, yellow, green and then blue, a blue probably has more patience than a red to keep reading on. I am red, I might have stopped reading if not for the entertaining first red chapter considering that yes the use of he/him instead of they for example is a bit annoying. Luckily, details like this can be blinded out ;) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,131,917 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 416 in Language Communication Reference 1,874 in Higher Education of Biological Sciences 3,914 in Popular Psychology | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 6,307 Reviews | ## Images ![Surrounded by Idiots: The Four Types of Human Behavior and How to Effectively Communicate with Each in Business (and in Life) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KfEBi2EnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What personality type are you? *by M***K on 11 January 2026* Fantastic book! Highly recommend for any leader/psychologist or anyone interested in human behaviour. It’s easy to read and has plenty of pictorial diagrams to help the reader to understand too. It’s engaging from beginning to end. There’s an audio version too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read *by S***Y on 13 December 2022* Entertaining, easy read to introduce the subject. Good thing that it is broken down into simplistic and provocative language, keeps you reading even when tired and it makes it very memorable being easy and repetitive. Also, I suspect a purposeful choice to go in order of red, yellow, green and then blue, a blue probably has more patience than a red to keep reading on. I am red, I might have stopped reading if not for the entertaining first red chapter considering that yes the use of he/him instead of they for example is a bit annoying. Luckily, details like this can be blinded out ;) ### ⭐ Pseudopsychological Guff. *by P***. on 12 January 2024* I bought this hoping for some real psychological insight into people. Instead I got pseudopsychological guff. It is oversimplified condescending pseudopsychology, aimed at the clueless corporate HR crowd. Of use only as toilet paper or in a recycling bin. ## Frequently Bought Together - Surrounded by Idiots (The Surrounded by Idiots Series) - Surrounded by Psychopaths: How to Protect Yourself from Being Manipulated and Exploited in Business (and in Life) [The Surrounded by Idiots Series] - The 48 Laws of Power --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/778333645-surrounded-by-idiots-the-four-types-of-human-behavior-how](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/778333645-surrounded-by-idiots-the-four-types-of-human-behavior-how) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-09-24*
