Surrounded by idiots by Thomas Erikson

Surrounded by Idiots is a bestselling book by Thomas Erikson that explores different personality types and how they influence communication and behavior. The book introduces the DISA (DISC) model, categorizing people into four colors:

Red (Dominant): Competitive, decisive, and goal-oriented—natural leaders but can come across as aggressive.
Yellow (Influential): Social, energetic, and creative—great communicators but can be easily distracted.
Green (Stable): Friendly, patient, and loyal—good listeners but resistant to change.
Blue (Analytical): Logical, detail-oriented, and perfectionist—highly organized but sometimes critical.

Erikson provides practical tips on recognizing these personalities, adapting communication styles, and improving relationships in work and everyday life. The book is humorous, easy to read, and filled with real-life examples that make it engaging and insightful.
