About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The funny and practical guide on how to free yourself from the tyranny of narcissists, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots.
Do you know someone who constantly demands attention, always thinks they’re right and never admits fault? Chances are—you’re dealing with a narcissist.
In this thought-provoking, sanity-saving book, behavioural expert and bestselling author Thomas Erikson helps you understand what makes narcissists tick and, crucially, how to handle them without wearing yourself out in the process.
With the help of the behavioural model made famous in Surrounded by Idiots, Erikson helps you:
Understand what drives narcissists
Stay calm and assertive when they push your buttons
Communicate effectively without losing your cool
Build confidence and resilience in your relationships and at work
Insightful, entertaining and empowering, Surrounded by Narcissists will help you free yourself from narcissistic agendas so you can pursue a happier, more fulfilling and successful life.

I listened at 1.5x speed to move the text along. The narrator is otherwise a little slow at getting through the book, though it may just be the text that was slow going.
It felt repetitive. It felt overly judgmental and though it had some interesting advice, it ultimately failed to live up to my expectations.
Easy to comprehend and may offer some useful insights for those looking for advice. Not sure I will be looking for other books though.
Lumbering look at narcissistic tendencies.

I would like to know how Thomas Erikson has learned such accurate knowledge on narcissism. It is knowledge that imo could only be from a personal experience with a narcissist. This book is very good so far, although it may come across far fetched to someone who hasn't experienced a true narcissist, I can confirm that this book is not far fetched. I'll be honest, I haven't yet learned something I didn't already know, or hadn't already experienced. so for me, it has only helped knowing that at least 1 other person on the planet knows how terrible narcissism really is. The problem is getting everyone else to understand.
Knowing where he gained the knowledge could help pave the way into getting others to understand.
This knowledge needs to be seen as fact, especially within the family law system.
I'd love to hear the authors view on Family law.
