Synopsis:

The funny and practical guide on how succeed when everything goes wrong, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Surrounded by Idiots.

Not everything goes the way we want it to - the world or people around us sometimes just spin out of control. So how do you handle everything life throws your way when you'd really prefer to tell everyone to get stuffed?

In his uplifting and inspiring, behavioural expert and bestselling author Thomas Erikson helps you turn challenges into opportunities and failure into growth.

Drawing on the four-colour model that has inspired millions, Erikson shows you how to:

Regain control when life feels chaotic


  • Replace frustration with problem-solving focus

  • Build resilience through self-awareness and perspective

  • Turn adversity into lasting success


    Warm, witty and full of real-world wisdom, Surrounded by Setbacks reminds you that success isn’t about avoiding problems, it’s about learning to handle them with courage and confidence.
