Surrounded by mental patients

Simple strategies for dealing with dangerous people. In the global bestseller "Surrounded by Idiots," Thomas Erikson changed the way millions communicate and interact with each other using the simple DISC system of behavioral patterns with its four colors. But what about people who don't fit that classification? In "Surrounded by Psychopaths," Erikson reveals the dangers of dealing with such people. He estimates that 2% of the world's population are psychopaths who defy all our behavioral expectations; they lack compassion and empathy, and tend to manipulate others without remorse to serve their own ends. Psychopaths are observant and exploitative, and will not hesitate to destroy your career or family life in the blink of an eye. In this book, you will find the tools you need to protect yourself and your loved ones from these dangers, including: • Common characteristics of psychopathy and how psychopaths behave in work and personal life. • The weaknesses of your personality's behavioral style and how to protect yourself. • Common manipulation tactics used by psychopaths. • Methods and techniques for confrontation and putting an end to exploitation and manipulation. Includes a psychopathy traits test. Are we really surrounded by psychopaths? The book's title was chosen carefully and precisely, given that there are far more psychopaths than I think most people realize. Through this book, I want to show every reader how to recognize the masters of psychological exploitation and manipulation, and how to protect yourself if you encounter one in your life. I will show you how to recognize a psychopath, how to recognize people with psychopathic and mentally ill traits. Most importantly, I will show you how to deal with them. -Thomas Erikson
