KEEPING NEGATIVE PEOPLE AT BAY CAN LEAD TO POSITIVE THINKING AND PEAK PERFORMANCE We all know them-those energy vampires and perpetual complainers. Whether in the office or in social settings, there's always that one person who'll try to hijack our emotions and seems to be on a mission to make our lives unbearable. Debbie Downer will moan all day long because nothing ever goes right: the weather is dreadful, the government is failing, the economy is collapsing, it's Monday, and, to top it all off, the doughnut has a hole! How can we deal with whiners who rain on everyone's parade and affect our mental health? Bestselling German author Tobias Beck's LiberatedR philosophy suggests a polarizing and provocative idea-that we simply walk away in order to regain emotional balance and energy. Easy to read and unconventional, Unbox Your Life is part workbook, self-help, nonfiction, and narrative. In a modern and maddening world that makes it too easy to care about the wrong things, this book offers us memorable stories and proven-to-work strategies to free ourselves from negative people and live a successful and authentic life. Successfully steer your own life instead of having it determined by others. Seek out people who support you, let you grow, and move you forward. Think in terms of chances and opportunities rather than problems and risks. Motivate yourself, forge your own path, and let yourself be guided by your dreams and vision.
