Surrounded by Energy Vampires by Thomas Erikson

Description

Vanquish the energy thieves in your life and at work.

Are there people in your life who leave you feeling drained, depleted, and just exhausted? Twenty minutes with these people makes you feel like you’ve just run a marathon. They demand limitless time, emotional support, attention, or affirmation; you dread interacting with them but don’t know how to change the dynamic.

You’ve just encountered a real-life vampire. Dracula has nothing on these ubiquitous social villains who take time, energy, attention, and emotional capacity without reciprocating, and leave you too exhausted to protest. Energy vampires can be people, situations, or even your mindset, but in Surrounded by Energy Vampires, internationally best-selling author Thomas Erikson identifies the different types of energy vampires and offers practical tools, fun self-assessments, and relatable stories to help you combat them.

Using the same simple, four-color behavior that made Surrounded by Idiots a runaway bestseller, Surrounded by Energy Vampires will help you slay the energy sucking interactions in your life whether they’re lurking at the office, amongst your friends, or in your own home.
