Description
We live in digital time. Our pace is rushed, rapid-fire, and
relentless. Facing crushing workloads, we try to cram as much as
possible into every day. We're wired up, but we're melting
down.
Time
management is no longer a viable solution. As bestselling
authors Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz demonstrate in this
groundbreaking book, managing energy, not time, is the key to
enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness, and
life balance.
The number of hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity
and quality of energy available to us is not. This fundamental
insight has the power to revolutionize the way you live your
life. The Power of Full Engagement is a highly practical,
scientifically based approach to managing your energy more
skillfully both on and off the job.
At the heart of the program is the Corporate Athlete®
Training System. It is grounded in twenty-five years of work
with some of the world's greatest athletes to help them perform
more effectively under brutal competitive pressures.
Clients have included Jim Courier, Monica Seles, and
Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in tennis; Mark O'Meara and Ernie Els in
golf; Eric Lindros and Mike Richter in hockey; Nick Anderson and
Grant Hill in basketball; and gold medalist Dan Jansen in speed
skating.
During the past decade, dozens of Fortune 500 companies
have paid thousands of dollars to learn the Corporate Athlete
training system. So have FBI swat teams, critical care
physicians and nurses, salesmen, and stay-at-home moms.
The Power of Full Engagement lays out the key
training principles and provides a powerful, step-by-step
program that will help you to:
• Mobilize four key sources of energy
• Balance energy expenditure with intermittent energy renewal
• Expand capacity in the same systematic way that elite
athletes do
• Create highly specific, positive energy management rituals
Above all, this book provides a life-changing road map to
becoming more fully engaged on and off the job, meaning
physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused,
and spiritually aligned.
I had the opportunity to attend
the Corporate Athlete training at LGE's facility in Orlando.
I've not been the same since. While I had already discovered
much of what they teach with regards to the importance of
oscillation in the physical realm, I had much to learn of the
principle in the other realms.
I have also discovered rituals to
help me take control of my negative, angry and fearful
thoughts. I've been amazed at how much energy these negative
thoughts consume.
I'm a true believer that our most
precious resource is our energy, and that managing it is more
important than managing our time. This book will give you
tools to effectively manage your energy.
