In Surrounded by Vampires, Thomas Erikson identifies and provides strategies to deal with emotional drains in our lives, helping readers reclaim their energy.
In Surrounded by Vampires, international bestselling author Thomas Erikson explores the concept of emotional and social drains in our lives. He introduces readers to the idea of 'vampires'—individuals who siphon our energy, time, and attention, leaving us feeling exhausted and depleted. Through engaging anecdotes and practical advice, Erikson helps readers identify these detrimental influences, whether they be colleagues, friends, or even habits that we have unconsciously adopted.
The book categorizes these vampires into four distinct types: time vampires, energy vampires, attention vampires, and habit vampires. Each type is examined in detail, providing insights into their behavior and the effects they have on our well-being. Erikson's approachable style makes it easy for readers to relate to their own experiences, encouraging them to reflect on their interactions and the people they surround themselves with.
Ultimately, Surrounded by Vampires offers not just recognition of these draining figures but also strategies to reclaim one's energy and focus. By shining a light on these social villains, Erikson empowers readers to take control of their lives, ensuring that they can thrive rather than merely survive. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their emotional resilience and improve their relationships.
'With his trademark humor and practical insights, Erikson will help you vanquish the 'energy vampires' in your life-even when it turns out you're the villain! Using his wildly successful behavior-based system, you'll learn how self-awareness is the key to preserving your time, energy, and sanity-no matter what comes your way.' * Gay Hendricks, bestselling author of THE BIG LEAP *
'Thomas Erikson just gets it-this book is equal parts logical, emotionally astute, and gut-wrenchingly funny. His observations are studied in a way that don't come across as either snarky or preachy-he's one of us and sees what we have always known-vampires are real! This book gives you tools to ward off those who would try to suck out your joy. Buy it!' * Jim McPartlin, author of THE ENNEAGRAM AT WORK *
