Loehr, Jim and Schwartz, Tony, The Power of Full Engagement – Managing Energy, Not Time, is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal, 2003.

The thesis here is that energy is our most precious resource. The book describes the Corporate Athlete® Training System, a program that was developed to enhance the performance of professional athletes and has evolved to help executives create and balance energy.

The challenge of a great performance and a fully engaged life, the authors say, is to manage four sources of energy: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. And you can stimulate all four kinds of energy by methodically building positive habits or “rituals.”

This is a good how-to book, if you are looking for a way to become more fully engaged in your job and positive about your life.
