Review: "Surrounded by Idiots" – A Guide to Understanding and Appreciating Our Differences - "Surrounded by Idiots" by Thomas Erikson is a refreshing take on personality types and communication. Far from labeling people as difficult or 'idiots,' the book presents a fascinating framework using four colors (Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue) to describe a range of personality traits. This color-coded system is more than just a tool for categorization—it's a bridge to better understanding the diverse ways people perceive and interact with the world. Erikson’s approach encourages us to see beyond superficial misunderstandings and recognize that each personality type has its unique strengths and weaknesses. By doing so, we learn to appreciate that differences in behavior and communication are not signs of incompetence or foolishness but are reflections of diverse perspectives and experiences. What makes "Surrounded by Idiots" particularly valuable is its practical application. The book offers clear, actionable advice on how to adapt our communication strategies according to different personality types. This not only enhances personal relationships but also improves workplace dynamics. Understanding that no one is an 'idiot,' but rather that we all experience the world differently, is pivotal in fostering a more inclusive and productive environment. Erikson's writing is accessible and engaging, making complex psychological concepts easy to grasp. He empowers readers to transform their interpersonal challenges into opportunities for growth and collaboration. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their communication skills, enhance their emotional intelligence, and better navigate the colorful spectrum of human personalities.
Review: A good read - A wonderful book. Great for helping you understand others and how different people think.

A wonderful book. Great for helping you understand others and how different people think.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Little Long But Informative
*by K***S on January 28, 2026*

I read Surrounded By Idiots after taking the DiSC assessment and in that context it was genuinely helpful. The color coded personality framework made my results click in a way they hadn't before, and I found myself recognizing coworkers, family members, and even my own communication patterns pretty quickly. That said, the book felt much longer than it needed to be. The core ideas are solid, but they're repeated often enough that it started to feel a little padded. I kept thinking this could have been tighter and more to the point without losing its impact. Overall, it's a useful read, especially if you're new to DiSC or personality frameworks and want an easy , relatable way to understand them. Just know going in that it's more conversational than concise. I'm glad I read it, but I don't think it needed to be quite as long to get the message across.
