Surrounded by idiots with Thomas Erikson 

This is so nice, being a red/yellow/green, I bought this book just because of the title without knowing anything about it, it blew my mind! So many things make sense now, I hope my relationship with, my (only) red, father gets better 🙏 Thank you

I love this book at a certain point, in his categorisation I am a 🔵 also a 🟢, but I don't see humans being categorised only in those, I know this is his idea, but like everything else in the universe: there is still room for improvement. Great book, especially when it is written from somebody that knows his craft.

Yeah it seems like we're all surrounded by a pack of laughing human hyenas at times! Scarface's famous line: "I'm surrounded by idiots" in The Lion King.

i love this book!!

Amazing book!

Great interview🔥. I loved his book 📚 and my book summary got lots of positive response! Thanks again for the interview💯

👍

good day so I am reading this book at this stage, still on page 40, I think a have a lot of green and a hint of blue, but I want to know from you the people the following. so as a green male, I feel that these traits of helping people and going out of your way are needy and a way of seeking approval and as a male don't come of as very masculine attributes or maybe I don't really know what it means to be masculine. so my question is to all of you are these traits not considered needy and unmuscline? or is it just my interpretation of society?

"Almost the only “scientific” reference that Erikson provides in his book is from a book written in 1928 called the Emotions of Normal People, by American psychologist William Moulton Marston. Moulton hypothesised that our behaviour is influenced by “psychonic energy” that is transferred through a web of nerve cells that he called “psychons”. The four personality types (yellow, green, blue and red) arise, Marston claims, as variations between different people in the structure of their psychonic network. This “theory” is pure speculation on the part of Marston. There was no scientific evidence for psychons or psychonic energy in 1928 and there is none today. At the time of publication, the science of psychology was in its infancy and, like Hippocrates and Jung before him, he had created a theory without proper scientific grounding. Unlike Hippocrates and Jung though, Marston’s theory garnered little attention, and he left psychology. He later rose to fame though when he created the comic book hero Wonder Woman! [.....] In summary, the four-colour model is based on a theory that has no scientific basis, has been subject to no rigorous testing and gives confusing and contradictory results. It is, quite simply, pseudoscience." took 2 min. to google

In my opinion he is the worst interviewer ever, besides the first question, that was innovative.
