Thomas Erikson Boeken

Welke gedragsstijl is de jouwe ? Drijft je collega je tot waanzin met zijn overdreven liefde voor details? Botst het gematigde karakter van je geliefde met je eigen enthousiasme? Sommige mensen beweren dat zij omringd worden door idioten. Zij begrijpen hun collega's of familie niet, hoe erg ze hun best ook doen. Als je echter meer inzicht hebt in het gedrag van anderen, en dat van jezelf, kun je beter met de ander communiceren. Een veelgebruikte methode daarvoor is het aanduiden van gedragsstijlen met kleuren. Ben je bijvoorbeeld rood, dan wil je snel tot de kern van de zaak komen. Heb je voornamelijk gele kanten, dan ben je snel enthousiast, groen staat voor stabiliteit en blauwe eigenschappen hebben te maken met informatie en details. Thomas Erikson leert je om op praktische en eenvoudige wijze dit kleurenschema toe te passen. Omringd door idioten helpt je collega's, vrienden en familie beter te begrijpen.

"#1 internationally bestselling author Thomas Erikson shows readers how to identify and avoid the psychopaths around them. Charming, charismatic, and delightful or manipulative, self-serving, and cunning? Psychopaths are both and that's exactly what makes them dangerous. Bestselling author of the international phenomenon Surrounded by Idiots, Thomas Erikson reveals how to identify the psychopaths in your life and combat their efforts to control and manipulate. Using the same simple four-color system of behavior classification that made Surrounded by Idiots so popular, Surrounded by Psychopaths teaches readers how to deal with psychopaths in their lives by becoming aware of their own behavior and their weaknesses. Vivid example stories illustrate ways that psychopaths can take advantage of various behavior types, helping readers identify their own weaknesses and be proactive about protecting themselves. Erikson outlines some of the most common forms of manipulation used by psychopaths--and others--to influence those around them. Since manipulation can often be a feature of ordinary, non-psychopathic relationships, the book also includes practical methods and techniques to help readers confront controlling people and rehabilitate negative relationships into mutually respectful ones. By understanding your behavior as well as the tendencies and strategies of psychopaths, Surrounded by Psychopaths will teach you to protect yourself from manipulative influence in your workplace, social life, and family"-- Provided by publisher
