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.
Originally published in Swedish in 2014 as Omgiven Av Idioter, Erikson's Surrounded by Idiots is already an international phenomenon, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide, of which over 750,000 copies have been sold in Sweden alone. 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(s) 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 and advice on when to back away or when to push on, and when to speak up or indeed shut up. Packed with 'aha!' and 'oh no!' moments, Surrounded by Idiots will help you 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!

Conflict is part of life…I use it as an opportunity to hone my boundary skills and reaffirm my values. Conflict and how you deal with it builds inner strength and character.
Love it so much
Add the necromancers and you have the magic: the gathering color pie right there.
Please guys DONT classify your LOVED one's . Its our nature to play detective in our lives and try to find what doesn't fit us naturally, but this types of lecturing and puting colors in our surroundings can SPEED our train of thoughts and sometimes could end up badly. So GUARD YOURSELVES!
I’m so red 😂 it was so painful to communicate with another yellow colleague before reading this book. Thanks Thomas!
My partner is a blue, through and through. Thank you!
I love love love your book! excellent reading!
👏🏻👏🏻
I'm green with a little yellow. And I get along the best with yellow ones
This is such an over simplification of human nature, good luck finding these types, these chatacteristics cam be real in very rare occasions. Most of us have varying degree of all af these characteristics and the application of these characterisics is also dependant of the situation and the person whom u are arguing with. Only positive thing about this is that, it can give u a sense that other peiole respond differently than u do. This is more like human nature for dummies.
I'm definatly blue 🤣
she is good
why do yellows always get the credit? it appears that companies value yellows than any other colour.
Doesn't this assume that the audience belongs to a 5th color?
