Surrounded by Psychopaths: How to Protect Yourself from Being Manipulated and Exploited in Business (and in Life) by Thomas Erikson is an eye-opening guide to recognizing and protecting yourself from manipulative and exploitative individuals in all areas of life.

Building on the success of his earlier book, Surrounded by Idiots, Erikson delves into the darker side of human behavior. He examines the traits and tactics of manipulative people—often described as "psychopaths"—who use charm, deceit, and manipulation to control others for their gain. Erikson categorizes personality types using his signature color system and offers practical strategies for recognizing when you're being manipulated based on the personality type of the manipulator.

Packed with real-life examples, psychological insights, and actionable advice, the book equips readers to spot red flags, set boundaries, and maintain control in professional and personal relationships. Whether you're dealing with a cunning colleague, a toxic partner, or an overly persuasive acquaintance, Erikson's methods will help you stand your ground.

Surrounded by Psychopaths is an essential read for anyone seeking to navigate relationships with confidence and protect themselves from emotional and psychological harm.
