In Surrounded by Setbacks , internationally bestselling author Thomas Erikson turns his attention to a universal problem: what to do when things go wrong.
Too often it seems like our dreams and ambitions--whether it's finally getting that corner office, lacing up your running shoes again, or building a flourishing relationship with your partner--are derailed by one roadblock or another. So how do we learn to take setbacks in stride and still achieve our goals?
In Surrounded by Setbacks , Erikson answers that question. Using simple, actionable steps, Erikson helps readers identify the "why" behind their goal, create a concrete plan towards achieving it, and--most importantly--avoid many of the most common pitfalls that derail us when we attempt something new. The simple 4-color behavior system that made Surrounded by Idiots revolutionary now helps readers reflect on how they respond to adversity, giving them the self-awareness to negotiate the inevitable obstacles of life with confidence.
