Among vampires

There are people in your life who leave you dry, empty and exhausted. Twenty minutes with these people feels like you've just run a marathon. They require unlimited time, emotional support, attention or reassurance. You dread interacting with them, but don't know how to change the dynamic.

You have to face a real vampire. Dracula doesn't hold a grudge against the ubiquitous social black holes that suck up your time, energy, attention, emotion without giving anything back, and exhaust you so much you can't even protest.

Energy vampires can be people, situations or even your own attitude towards things. In Among Vampires, internationally bestselling author Thomas Erikson identifies the different types of energy vampires and offers practical tools, entertaining self-assessments, and relatable stories for confronting these vampires.

Every work environment has its own energy vampires – people and situations that can throw you off balance, complicate a project, or just make everything more difficult. Erikson provides clear, simple tools to manage these draining situations, improve communication, and conserve your energy.
