Produktbeschreibung

The funny and practical guide on how to handle life's manipulators and avoid being exploited by them, 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.

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.

In his inspiring - and, at times, funny - guide, bestselling behavioural expert Thomas Erikson explains how manipulative people exploit our weaknesses and personality traits - and how to protect yourself. Using his famous four-colour model, Erikson shows you how to:

Identify the signs of manipulation early

Set healthy boundaries and stand your ground

Stay calm and confident in toxic situations

Reclaim your emotional energy and peace of mind

Insightful, entertaining and empowering, Surrounded by Psychopaths will give you everything you need to handle life's most skilled manipulators, identify the psychopaths in your life, and free yourself from their control.
