The book, in one sentence
The Power of Full Engagement challenges the popular notion that time management is the key to success. Instead, the authors argue that the management of energy is the secret to achieving high levels of performance and personal renewal.
Short Summary
This book provides a framework for understanding key energy sources in life, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy.
The authors explain how each of these energy sources is related to each other and how they can affect our performance and well-being.
