Are we really surrounded by psychopaths? The title of the book was chosen with care and precision, because there are far more psychopaths out there than I think most people realize. Through this book, I want to show every reader how to identify masters of exploitation and psychological manipulation, and how to protect yourself if you encounter one of them in your life. I will show you how to identify a psychopath, and how to identify people who have the traits of a disorder and mental illness. And most importantly, I will show you how to deal with them.

We live in a complex and intertwined world at all levels, which is why our psyches take on the nature of complexity and ambiguity. Since man parted from the life of nature and simplicity and entered the age of civilization, his life became a mass of psychological complexes that are difficult to understand, rather to solve and eliminate. This is the world today and these are the scenes of our psychological life as depicted in the book Surrounded by Psychopaths by Thomas Erickson. The book that confirms that human beings and their lives differ greatly from other beings because of the complexity and intertwining of their lives, so the more we understand this psychological life, the greater our understanding of all strange and abnormal behaviors of them. The importance of the book is not only in that it introduces us to these behaviors, but also in the clear indication that we are surrounded by mental patients who must be paid attention to, and they are much greater than we might imagine and believe.
