Surrounded by idiots


 Author: thomas erikson
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
This is a book I decided to read during quarantine. This book was an interesting read and is also well structured. The book is based on Marston theory of behaviour which is then further developed by the author. The 4 behaviour personalities are: red, yellow, green and blue.
As majority of the population are green, I also self-identify as a green. Also, majority of people also have two colours. 
Briefly, reds are quick, fiesty, dont like repetition or routine and you would tend to find your boss to be a red. Yellows are happy go lucky, dont listen though they think they do and are very creative. Greens are neutral, great listeners, can be whiny and laid back. Blues like routine, are very analytical but also critical. 
This book also talks about anger and stress management and how these behaviour personalities deal with the anger and stress. There is a history of this behaviour personality dating back to the Aztecs and Greeks. There is a quiz in this book which tests what you have read in this book.

What I learnt from this book is that there is alot more to just obtaining around 8 hours of sleep per night. A person will go through light NREM sleep, Deep NREM sleep to REM sleep till wakefulness. These are the four stages of sleep and it has been found that some people have disturbed sleep in these stages such as those with Austism Spectrum Disorder. It has been found that not getting eno

The autistic brothers Rating: 5/5 stars Author: Thomas Clements Review: This is a good read for an insight into autism. It tells us the story of two brothers on the autism spectrum, one who has written the book and the other providing illustrations.  Both brothers are on opposite ends of the spectrum ranging from mild to severe symptoms of the illness.  Thomas who suffers from aspergers also known as mild autism suffers from alot of difficulties from getting bullied at school and having meltdowns, to not sustaining relationships and struggling with his independence. On the other hand, Jack who suffers from autism severely, relies on his routine which is to go to college, can communicate very little verbally by using repeated phrases (echolalia) and has picky eating habits. He hasnt gone through the same social spindle as his brother as he hasnt faced bullying even though outsiders do feel his stimming is rather odd.  Both brothers share the same love for trains and relian
