THE NUMBER 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Do you ever think you're the only one making any sense? Have you ever tried to reason with your partner with disastrous results? Do long, rambling answers drive you crazy? Does your colleague's abrasive manner get your back up?
You are not alone.
Communication expert and bestselling author Thomas Erikson has dedicated himself to understanding how people function and why we often struggle to connect with certain types of people.
In his simple but groundbreaking book, Erikson reveals the four types of human behaviour -Red, Yellow, Green and Blue - and how understanding them can transform every interaction in your personal and professional life.
By learning how to read personality cues, adapt your communication style and handle conflict confidently, you’ll:
Build stronger relationships at work and home
Improve teamwork and leadership skills
Boost empathy and self-awareness
Finally understand why people behave the way they do
Packed with humour, insight, and practical strategies, Surrounded by Idiots?will help you understand and influence those around you, even people you currently think are beyond all comprehension.
And with a bit of luck you can also be confident that the idiot out there isn't you!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
