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.

Publisher's Summary
Part of the bestselling Surrounded by Idiots series, read by David John!
Internationally bestselling author Thomas Erikson shares the secrets of dealing with everyday narcissists.
Are the narcissists in your life making you miserable? Are you worn out by their constant demands for attention, their absolute conviction they are right (even when they’re clearly not), their determination to do whatever they want (regardless of the impact), and their baffling need to control everyone and everything around them?
In this thought-provoking, sanity-saving audiobook, Thomas Erikson helps you understand what makes narcissists tick and, crucially, how to handle them without wearing yourself out in the process. With the help of the simple four-color behavioral model made famous in Surrounded by Idiots, Erikson provides all the tools you need to manage not just the narcissists around you but everyday narcissistic behaviors as well–something that is becoming more widespread in the age of social media.
Engaging and practical, Surrounded by Narcissists will help you free yourself from the thrall of others' toxic agendas so you can pursue a happier, more fulfilling and successful life.

This book is extensive, walking on eggshells is better
I rate this book with two stars mainly due to the narrator's performance, which is a crucial aspect. It can be quite challenging to find skilled narrators, even for quality books. The content lacks a practical approach and feels unnecessarily lengthy. Although it has some intriguing points, I find myself wondering if there are better YouTube videos about narcissism that can be consumed in around ten minutes.

Not Practically Useful
This book leans heavily on talking about how narcissists interact with different DISC profiles as victims. Perhaps this book is useful for those who are new to the very concept of narcissism, but I was disappointed by how much of the content is just definitions and the author's personal opinions on broader culture. I had hoped this book would have applicable tips and communication templates but it really lacked that.
The narrator wasn't my favourite either. This whole book seemed very rudimentary.
