Synopsis

Vanquish the energy thieves in your life and at work.

Are there people in your life that leave you feeling drained, depleted, and just exhausted? Twenty minutes with these people and you feel as if 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, emotional capacity—without reciprocating, and leave you too exhausted to protest. Energy vampires can be people, situations, or even your own 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.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

Goodreads review by Jess

*Audiobook “Everyone is a jerk in somebody’s story.” I love mixing some self help books in with my regularly scheduled reading. I feel like I’m always under construction and working on myself. I’m am, as this book says…a perfectionist and a control freak amongst other not so flattering titles. 🤣😂🤣. I,......more

Goodreads review by Любен

Отново много добър и още по-полезен Томас Ериксон. Аз не спирам да го хваля от 2020 година, когато прочетох „Заобиколени от идиоти“ и още тогава заявих, че това за мен е най-полезната книга за самопомощ, която съм чел. Тогава книгата ми помогна в отношенията ми с една колежка и успя да ме накара да......more

Goodreads review by Berdine

Als luisterboek tot mij genomen, prettig geschreven door de auteur en daardoor goed te volgen met luisteren. Naar mijn smaak erg stigmatiserend en daardoor voor mij te weinig diepgang. Oordeel: 2,5 ster naar beneden afgerond.......more

I've had to read a lot of books about the workplace and personality within the workplace with my MBA program. This one stood out to me as particularly useful.

(You can be either red, green, yellow or blue or a combination of a few.) Reading this you will learn about the perfectionist, the drama queen, t......more

Quotes

"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, Author of The Big Leap and The Genius Zone, www.hendricks.com

"Thomas Erikson just gets it —this book is equal parts logic, emotionally astute, and gut-wrenchingly funny. His observations are studied in a way that don't come across 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
