Surrounded by Narcissists

Erikson, author of the Surrounded by Idiots series, turns his attention to a different kind of difficult person: the narcissist. Many of us have someone close by who needs constant attention, insists they are right even when the facts say otherwise, does as they please without regard for others, and tries to control everything around them. Such people can wear us down.

Using the same four-color behavioral model that made his earlier work popular, the author explains what drives narcissistic behavior and offers practical methods for dealing with it without losing your own energy. He also looks at the self-centred habits that have grown more common with social media and shows how they can creep into everyday life.

The goal is to help readers step out from under other people's harmful agendas and move toward a calmer, more successful life.
