Publisher's summary

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. 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. 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

The Power of Full Engagement provides a life-changing roadmap to becoming more fully engaged on and off the job.

Engagement is about managing energy.

The most powerful message of this book was to realize what you control and to focus on creating results based on the actions that you control.

Needs PDF on Audible

Love the book but hate the fact that the pdfs are not easily accessible on audible.

intuitive

Good reminders of simple ideas. nothing too breath taking here. If only we could stick too these concepts 😁😁

Great book, but why no chapter separations?

I'm learning a ton, but with no chapter separations it makes it really hard to switch between the book and the audio.

fantastic to reconnect

Jim Loehr has been impacting me for three decades

blessed for his work

most of my knowledge was embodied on the court

Great listen

I loved the daily rituals and the focus on health! I will recommend to entrepreneurs and colleagues that are in my circle!

Great book for workaholics

Great listen and reflective audiobook! Highly recommend this book if you struggle with finding balance.

i say it is worth the money..

well, this book gives a lot of info. combined from other self-help books (IMO), but fail to address things very deeply, but you get a concept about what they are trying to say. in essense, it gives you "ideas", but fail to guide you through a step by step process, and it is because this book has too many "ideas", such as meditation, self-cultivation, personal spiritual meaning, work out theory, ..... etc. which, you can only get a glimpse of each subject. and for a length of a book, with these many topics, there is no way to get a good understanding with out seeking for external help,(such as going to their website, and maybe sign up for their programs, etc).. which I think they are very commercial.

How to live more happily

This book is a recipe for living a more meaningful, fulfilled and inspired life.

Really appreciated that both authors spoke. It helped to break up the monotony of hearing one person for several hours.

It's a keeper

This is one of those books I keep around and listen to again every six months or so. Great insight on how to consistently bring your A game to work and life.
