From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots. Some people are exceptionally manipulative. They can convince anyone about anything and lure them with their charm. They enjoy controlling others and will do anything to get what they want. Sound familiar? The bad news is that you can't really escape them. But here comes the good news- you can beat them at their own game. After going through the highs and lows of different personality types (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow) in his international bestseller Surrounded by Idiots, Swedish behavioural expert Thomas Erikson will now show you how your weaknesses and personality traits can be exploited by other people and how you can stop them in their tracks. By learning more about your personality type and how you work, you'll be able to see through any psychopath's manipulative behaviours and fend off their attempts to wreak havoc into your life. Witty, engaging and informative, this book will give you everything you need to handle life's most skilled manipulators and identify the psychopaths in your life... before it's too late!
La 4e de couv. indique : "Ils s'appellent Märtha, Stina, Anna-Greta, le Génie, le Râteau, ils chantent dans la même chorale et vivent dans la même maison de retraite. Nourriture insipide, traitement lamentable, restrictions constantes, pas étonnant que les résidents passent l'arme à gauche. Franchement, la vie ne serait pas pire en prison ! D'ailleurs, à Stockholm, elles ont plutôt bonne presse. Voilà l'idée ! Les cinq amis vont commettre un délit et faire en sorte d'être condamnés : en plus d'avoir la vie douce, ils pourraient redistribuer les bénéfices aux pauvres et aux vieux du pays. Un brin rebelles et idéalistes, un peu fous aussi, les cinq comparses se lancent dans le grand banditisme. Mais évidemment rien ne va se passer comme prévu."
