How to handle everything (and everyone) around you when hell breaks loose, from the international bestselling author of "Surrounded by Idiots."

Not everything goes the way we want – the world or the people around us can sometimes spiral out of control. Just think of the Covid pandemic as an example. Or the crazy neighbor living next door? Or when work goes downhill because the competition is always one step ahead? So how do you deal with everything life throws at you when you actually want to tell everyone to just get lost?

Thomas Erikson will help you turn adversity into success, using the behavioral model that became famous in "Surrounded by Idiots." By reminding us that life is what it is, Erikson helps you realize that it's actually pointless to try to control everything around you. Instead of protesting when life presents you with unexpected challenges, focus on how you can deal with them. Just as you keep weeds out of the garden to make room for beautiful flowers, you need to find an approach to adversity that works for you and gives you the chance to turn everything into success. "Surrounded by Setbacks" will help you find the approach that works for you and will entertain and empower you in equal measure.
