Product Information

Gets and annoys me every single time. If you are asking there are several sources that don't agree with this and I think they have a better idea of what they are talking about then this author. But I am getting off topic here. Using the same simple four-colour system of behaviour 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 behaviour and their weaknesses. Vivid example stories illustrate ways that psychopaths can take advantage of various behaviour 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.

And so I learned that the young man at my lecture had indeed learned “ how to take advantage of the DISC system.” Book Genre: Business, Cultural, European Literature, Nonfiction, Polish Literature, Psychology, Self Help, Sweden, Swedish Literature i133185849 |b1060007216956 |deve |g- |m |h2 |x1 |t0 |i3 |j70 |k201106 |n03-30-2023 00:47 |o- |a158.2 |rERI Erikson, Thomas, 1965-. 2020. Surrounded By Psychopaths: How to Protect Yourself From Being Manipulated and Exploited in Business (and in Life).When these are added up, the common population scores under 15 points, 15-20 shows concerning tendencies, 20-30 is likely a psychopath, and 35-40 is a definite. Try scoring yourself and colleagues. Research shows that psychopaths are most common in these professions: CEO, lawyer, media jobs (TV/radio), sales, surgeon and journalist. Overall, an interesting book. I found myself being really interested in the beginning, having listened to the first book. Psychopaths are living in society just like the rest of us. They infiltrate companies and organizations, where they get comparatively little work done and only in exceptional cases do they make any positive contributions. They rarely offer to get the bill at the restaurant, and they never have any money when household expenses have to be paid. They are often unfaithful, manipulative, and duplicitous. They are notorious liars; most of them lie when there isn’t even any reason to do so. They can fool anyone into believing them, and they turn everything you say against you. But they are often extremely popular. A lot of people like them, place them on a pedestal, and even respect them. Some people are exceptionally manipulative. They can convince anyone about anything and lure them with their charm. They enjoy controlling others and will do anything to get what they want.

Therefore, I wanted to share these valuable findings with you, to enlighten you and spread light on your darkest matters. The book talks about how common Psychopaths surround us in our lives, and being surrounded by one in any form of relationship, as a spouse, a family member, a boss, a friend etc is a guaranteed recipe to disaster. Psykopaatit ympärilläni oli todella kiinnostava ja osittain valaisevakin kirja, mutta olisin toivonut vähemmän sen vakuuttelua, että "psykopaatteja on ympärilläsi enemmän kuin uskotkaan!!!" ja enemmän ihan vain arkielämän manipuloimista. Eri "värien" tahalliset ja tahattomat tavat manipuloida ympäristöään - ja miten manipulointi vaikuttaa kuhunkin väriin - oli ehdottomasti kirjan parasta antia, sensaatiohakuinen psykopaatti-sanan viljely ei niinkään. But who are they, these people? What sort of people try to mimic what other people do? And what can their goal be?The most frightening thing is that he is still out there. And if you bump into him or someone like him, it’s critical that you know how to react. Because if he can sniff out your weaknesses, he will press all the buttons he can to destroy you. Not because he hates you or because he has some personal motivation. But because that is what psychopaths do. They take what they want from you. Using any means whatsoever. The consequences don’t matter. Now I do not call my self an expert but on several occassions where I have read articles/books and reports it is a word not to use carelessly. In this case for me he used this word in connection which really got my goat. Those wanting to pursue this topic further might want to look at The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson.

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.
