Psychology

Available in English for the first time, Surrounded by Idiots, presents his simple model based on four personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow). Thomas Erikson guarantees that after reading this book the number of idiots around you will be drastically reduced and you will have a better understanding of everyone around you.

After going through the highs and lows of different personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow) in his international bestseller Surrounded by Idiots, Swedish behavioural expert Thomas Erikson will now show you how your weaknesses and personality traits can be exploited by other people and how you can stop them in their tracks.

Every time we are introduced to someone new, try to be creative, or start a difficult conversation, we take a risk. We feel exposed. Most of us try to fight those feelings, we strive to appear perfect. In this book, the author challenges everything we think we know about vulnerability, and dispels the accepted myth that it's a weakness.

Looks at the way our minds work, and how we make decisions. This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by error and prejudice (even when we think we are being logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower, smarter thinking. It enables you to make better decisions at work, at home, and in everything you do.

Offers a mind management model that can help you become a happy, confident, healthier and successful person. This book explains the struggle that takes place within your mind and shows how to apply this understanding to every area of your life so you can: recognise how your mind is working; and understand and manage your emotions and thoughts.

Reveals the true qualities that lead to outstanding achievement. This is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that - not talent or luck - makes all the difference.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER. A radically new way of thinking about depression and anxiety.

Why do some people achieve so much more than others? Can they lie so far out of the ordinary? This book looks at everyone from rock stars to professional athletes, software billionaires to scientific geniuses, to show that the story of success is far more surprising, and far more fascinating, than we could ever have imagined.
