"Everyone Should Read This!"
I have listened to it several times and recommended it to many people I work with as well as my husband. It's message that we all have limited energy is a critical one.
I changed some of the things I do in my life.
Tell us about yourself!
"Good one"
Good one! Thanks to Audible for having this in store. I would recommend this book to my family and friends.

"Instinctively Knew Some Of This But Great Read"
This was a short piece which was tightly focused on energy and how to manage energy. It began from the standpoint that time is a finite resource whilst energy can be renewed. Then it went into the ways to renew energy. Great listen. I will undoubtedly listen to it again - something I do with very few titles.
I liked the tight focus. It focused on one area and covered it well. I'm definitely looking at more from the Harvard Business Review.
He was easy to understand, didn't speak too fast or too slow and seemed to impart an enthusiasm for the topic which was enjoyable.
Always strive for an open mind.
"Good but limited"
The author definitely knows their subject
Not a lot of practical guidelines, due to the briefness. The Power of Full Engagement gets in a lot more depth.
"Excellent information!"
Very informative... I liked how the book addresses the traditional method of managing our time, and shows how focusing upon allocating our energy can be far more profitable and beneficial to our goals
"Short & to the Point!!!"
I enjoy HBR's articles and this caught my eye. Like others, they give you the information you need. It's to the point. I immediately was able to implement some strategies.
The performance was OK. Like a lot of development books, it is on the dry side.
Yes. I commute 30 minutes to work and I was able t listen to most of it in one sitting.
