Surrounded by Narcissists

Do you often feel drained after interacting with certain people—like you’re constantly walking on eggshells or being pulled into someone else’s drama? Are you overshadowed by individuals who always need to be right, constantly seek attention, and refuse to consider how their actions affect others?

In Surrounded by Narcissists, bestselling author and behavioral expert Thomas Erikson offers a powerful guide to recognizing and dealing with narcissists in everyday life—without losing your mind or sense of self.

Narcissists come in many forms: they can be charming or cold, subtle or overt, but they all share one trait—an overwhelming need to put themselves first. In Surrounded by Narcissists, Erikson breaks down the psychological patterns that define narcissistic behavior, helping you understand the manipulative tactics they use and why they’re often so difficult to confront or change.

Whether you’re dealing with a narcissistic boss, partner, friend, or family member, Surrounded by Narcissists shows you how to regain control of the situation and yourself.

With warmth, wit, and hard-earned wisdom, Thomas Erikson helps you cut through the confusion and gives you the tools to move forward with strength. It’s time to stop doubting yourself and start protecting your peace.
