Surrounded by Idiots: The Four Types of Human Behaviour (or, How to Understand Those Who Cannot Be Understood) (Vermilion)

Great book, nicely written, gives better understanding of others also yourself. I I would definitely recommend to read.

Eye opener and enlightening to world of corporate doings

I found this book to be very enlightening and helpful. It explains how different people have different personality types, and how to communicate with them effectively. The author uses the DISC model, which categorizes people into four colorus: Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue. Each colour has its own strengths, weaknesses, preferences, and motivations. The book teaches you how to identify the colours of yourself and others, and how to adapt your style to suit their needs. The book is full of examples, tips, and exercises that make it easy to apply the concepts to your own life. I learned a lot about myself and the people around me. I realized why some people are easy to get along with, while others are more challenging. I also learned how to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts, and how to improve my relationships with different colours. The book is written in a clear and engaging way, with humour and anecdotes. The author is an expert on communication and behaviour, and he shares his insights and experiences in a relatable way. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand themselves and others better, and to communicate more effectively in any situation. It is a great book for personal and professional development.

I found the book to be a really interesting read, though it could have been a bit shorter. While I enjoyed most of it, I felt that the real-life examples throughout the book sometimes came across as somewhat forced, as if trying too hard to bridge theory and practice. In particular, the ‘Word from Real Life’ chapter felt unnecessary and, at times, almost insincere. Still a really good read that I can only recommend.

This won’t tell you everything about a person but it will give you a good insight why people are the way that they are. It’s made me reflect on myself and helped me to develop a better understanding of everyone around me and how best to interact with them. For years I couldn’t understand why some people behaved how they do, now it’s so much clearer. Humans are complex beings so this isn’t able to dissect every personality, but it does provide an excellent overview.

This is going to be an unusual book review. Because most will talk about the content of the book, which they loved or hated - or perhaps somewhere in between. I will leave others to give you those opinions on its content.I simply want to comment on a pet hate of my mine that the paperback edition of this book falls very foul of. Tiny font size! I bought it for an elderly relative of mine who wears glasses, but can cope with normal sized text. They gave up rapidly. Not because they found it boring, but because the font size was so small it was exhausting them simply trying to read it. I can't blame them! This edition would best be read with binoculars. The text is tiny.So if you're going to buy it... get the e-book.

Initially bought it from the title as a present for my friend.But I read this book and is really helpful for understanding different personalities types in a simple, easy-to-understand format.

But repetitive, too much stretched
