NOW FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED

Do you ever think you're the only one making any sense?

Have you ever tried to reason with your partner with disastrous results?

Does your colleague's manner of communication always get your back up?

You are not alone.

Communication expert and bestselling author Thomas Erikson has dedicated himself to understanding how people function and why we struggle to connect with certain types of people.

In his multi-million-copy bestseller, Surrounded by Idiots, Erikson uses four core personality types - Red, Yellow, Green and Blue - to explain other people's baffling behaviour and help you to:

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.

Now offering even more insight, this fully revised and expanded edition - based on questions and feedback from Thomas's more than 10 million global readers - brings you 30% more material than before, honing this classic, comprehensive toolkit to new heights.

Packed full of practical insights and inspiring guidance, Surrounded by Idiots will help you to understand and influence 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!
