Surrounded by Psychopaths isn’t about Hollywood villains with maniacal laughs and chainsaws. It’s about the everyday manipulators who charm, deceive, and twist situations until you’re left wondering how you ended up agreeing to things you never wanted in the first place. These people don’t walk around with labels on their foreheads, but they do leave a trail of confusion, guilt, and frustration in their wake.

Thomas Erikson, author of the bestselling Surrounded by Idiots, is back with another eye-opening guide that peels back the mask of manipulation. With his signature blend of humor and sharp insight, he explains the tactics used by those who pull strings from the shadows—whether it’s a sly co-worker, a toxic friend, or that boss who always makes everything your fault. More importantly, he arms you with the tools to recognize their strategies, resist their influence, and reclaim control of your own decisions.

This book isn’t just theory—it’s practical, relatable, and sometimes uncomfortably familiar. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling drained, confused, or secretly blamed for something you didn’t do, you’ll find yourself nodding along and finally learning how to say: “Not this time.”
