What does Surrounded by Narcissists teach you?
This book gives you the mindset—and the tools—you need to defend yourself from narcissistic manipulation. It doesn’t sugarcoat. It doesn’t coddle. It confronts.

Who is Thomas Erikson?
He’s the bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots, but this time, he isn’t dealing with the clueless—he’s dealing with the calculated. Erikson’s real-life observations and psychological insights will leave you nodding, wincing, and possibly making a list of people to block by the end of the first chapter.

Is Surrounded by Narcissists a good book?
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I crazy?” after dealing with someone who made everything your fault, this book is your sanity. It won’t just change how you see them—it’ll change how you protect yourself. In my opinion, this isn’t just a good book—it’s a survival guide for your emotional wellbeing in a world where narcissists are more common than you think.
