À propos de cet audio
A runaway best seller in Sweden that has sold more than a million copies worldwide, Surrounded by Idiots shares a groundbreaking new method of understanding the people around you that will change how you interact with everyone from your coworkers to your spouse.
Author Thomas Erikson explains that there are four key behavior types that define how we interact with and perceive the people around us. Understanding someone’s pattern of behavior is the key to successful communication. Erikson breaks down the four kinds of behavior types - Reds who are dominant and commanding, Yellows who are social and optimistic, Greens who are laid-back and friendly, and Blues who are analytical and precise - and explains how to identify and interact with each type of person. Instead of being bogged down with overly technical categorizations, the simple four-color system allows you to speedily identify a friend or coworker and adjust how you speak and share with them.
Surrounded by Idiots is full of practical information for interacting with people based on their color, including the strengths and weaknesses of all the profiles, how to give positive and negative feedback to each, and the best way to word an email when writing to someone with a different profile.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Phenomenal book. Minor technical concern.
Book was fantastic! Really enjoyed it and helped me think.
Poor rating is only because the chapters on audivle don’t align with the one wirh words. For example, audible started chapter 12 on the audio. But the display showed chapter 11 and was only a few minutes later

refines what most people already understand
Fun listening experience on the work shift. Its one of the first audio books I've ever listened to. The narrator was great and the amount of repeating throughout the book really helps if your are listening to the book at work.

research before trusting
well written and narrated, however, no scientific support of this theory as the author himself is not a scientist. do some research and look the book and the author up before starting. amusing read, take it with a grain of salt.

Now what I’d hoped for
Just a lot of a lot about nothing. Was hoping for more. Disagreed with a lot of the classifications.

A must-read for managers.
A bit monotonous and slow, but very clear accent and voice.
Great content but a bit reparative.
Gives you a great insight into people’s behaviour, and why they react/response in a certain way.
And yes, I am red-blue, with a dash of yellow.LOL

Great Book, Highly Recommend.
"Surrounded by Idiots" by Thomas Erikson is a thought-provoking and entertaining book that offers a fresh perspective on human behavior and communication. Erikson introduces readers to the DISC model, a tool used to understand different personality types and communication styles.
Using colorful examples and relatable scenarios, Erikson explains how people with different DISC profiles may perceive the same situation differently, and how this can lead to misunderstandings and conflict. He also provides practical advice on how to recognize and adapt to different communication styles in order to improve relationships and achieve better outcomes.
One of the strengths of the book is Erikson's engaging writing style. He uses humor and anecdotes to keep the reader engaged, while also providing a clear and accessible explanation of the DISC model.
Another strength of the book is its practicality. Erikson provides concrete examples of how the DISC model can be applied in real-world situations, and offers tips on how to improve communication and build better relationships with coworkers, friends, and family members.
Overall, "Surrounded by Idiots" is a great read for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills and better understand the people around them. It is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to build stronger relationships, avoid conflict, and achieve success in both their personal and professional lives.
