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.
