Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots.
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.
Sound familiar?
The bad news is that you can’t really escape them. But here comes the good news: you can beat them at their own game.
After going through the highs and lows of different personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow) in his international bestseller Surrounded by Idiots, Swedish behavioural expert Thomas Erikson will now show you how your weaknesses and personality traits can be exploited by other people and how you can stop them in their tracks.
By learning more about your personality type and how you work, you’ll be able to see through any psychopath's manipulative behaviours and fend off their attempts to wreak havoc into your life.
Witty, engaging and informative, this book will give you everything you need to handle life’s most skilled manipulators and identify the psychopaths in your life...before it’s too late!

surrounded by idiots is better
I bought this book as I listened to Surrounded By Idiots and quite enjoyed it.
Although this one packs some interesting advice, it feels like there was a bit more fluff than the other book.
The narrator is the same, and it's a good one, so going in with low expectations about content will get you entertained as audio book.

Loved it!
This book is truly fascinating, I literally couldn't stop listening to it. Even had it on while I was training in the gym. I've learned so much about myself and other people and its made me understand the behaviours of those around me, resulting in me realising that I have a psychopath in my life and a very clever red manipulator. Now I feel like I understand! Thank you.

A Bit Slow in the Middle.
Overall, an interesting book. I found myself being really interested in the beginning, having listened to the first book.
As the chapters went on, I got progressively less engaged. Ended up at chapter 11 onwards, Where I found myself taking a couple of months off, returning, skipping forward as I was totally bored by it.
If you enjoyed the first book, its worth a listen for the first half.
I don't regret getting it, But I do regret not jumping to a different book after the half way point.

Useful book against manipulators
I love all the nuance that is given to distinguish manipulators from true psychopaths. Also, how they destroy you depending on your personality.

Very insightful and gives the answers we all need
I’ll be listening again. It’s an eye opener.
It’s also not read by that irritating American accent that drives most people away from listening to the end.
It was that good, I downloaded surrounded by Narcissists.
I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

Chillingly accurate
I've worked with someone, who I was always suspicious was a psychopath... and the description from this book is as if the author personally knew the guy. The recommendation from this book is right, you need to get up and leave, when there is a psychopath on your life. That's exactly what I did, and now thanks to this book I am better equipped in identifying a psychopath
