Do you often feel exhausted by conversations? Are there people in your life who belittle you through words or actions? Or, do you have colleagues who take up your time and don't actually do 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.
