Poisonous People: How to Resist Them and Improve Your Life is a popular psychology and practical self-protection book by Leanne ten Brinke, a psychologist known for research on deception, trust, psychopathy, and dark personality traits. The book examines people who show patterns associated with psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellian manipulation, and sadism, often discussed together as the dark tetrad. Its purpose is not to encourage casual diagnosis, but to help readers recognize repeated patterns of callousness, entitlement, rule breaking, hostility, and exploitation that can damage relationships, workplaces, families, and civic life. Ten Brinke combines psychological research with accessible explanation to show why a relatively small number of highly antagonistic individuals can create outsized distress. The book also emphasizes agency: readers can learn to detect harmful patterns earlier, make clearer decisions about staying or leaving, and reduce manipulative influence through boundaries, written communication, and structured behavioral expectations.
