Surrounded by Idiots: The Four Types of Human Behavior and How to Effectively Communicate with Each in Business (and in Life) by Thomas Erikson
3.0
Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson is a clear and accessible book in which Erikson distinguishes human behaviour through 4 different groups/colors (red, green, blue and yellow/ sunguine, choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic).
While reading this book I found the character descriptions to be fairly general (though not necessarily wrong). It was interesting to see how the different 'colors' interact and react in different circumstances, how they handle things and how they interact with themselves and others, and after applying this color system to myself and people around me it did gave me a better comprehension on how different forms of communications suit different people for the better.
Though the book did not really go into depth psychologically wise, it's an accessible book for someone who wants to read more about dealing with people and their different characteristics on a surface level and perhaps to create a better understanding of your own. It's an 'okay' book if you are interested in the topic, but definitely not a must-read.
