How to spot - and slay - the time, energy and soul suckers in your life, from the international bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots
From the Sunday Times and international bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots
Do conversations with certain people leave you feeling depleted or exhausted?
Are there people in your life who diminish you through their words or actions?
Or, do you have colleagues that take a lot of your time and drain your energy, but don't actually do - or contribute - much?
You could be surrounded by vampires! International bestselling author and behavioural expert Thomas Erikson will help you recognise and deal with the four most common vampires-
Time Suckers- the vampires who waste your time. They expect you to do all the work, while they take all the credit, or they may drain your time, while giving little or nothing in return.
Energy Suckers- the vampires who suck out your energy and your passion. When you are around them, even for short periods of time, you leave with less energy than you started with. They feed on your passion, ideas and talents then leave you with nothing.
Soul Suckers- the worst human vampire of all. Whether they are family, friends or co-workers, Soul Suckers use you for their own gain and, consciously or unconsciously, make you feel smaller every chance they get. They are the people in your life who don't support you and constantly tell you what you can't do, why you are going to fail and how you aren't the right person for the job.
Aside from human vampires there are also Habit Vampires- social media, addiction, negative thinking, inaction and procrastination can all suck the life right out of you!
Fortunately, no human or habit Vampire can survive when the sun shines on them. With the help of the behavioural model made famous in Surrounded by Idiots, Thomas Erikson will help you spot the Vampires around you and find your light to vanish their influence for good.
