Product Description
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.As Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz demonstrate in their groundbreaking New York Times bestseller, managing energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness, and life balance. Their Full Engagement Training System is grounded in twenty-five years of working with great athletes -- tennis champ Monica Seles and speed-skating gold medalist Dan Jansen, to name just two -- to help them perform more effectively under brutal competitive pressures. Now this powerful, step-by-step program 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 is a highly practical, scientifically based approach to managing your energy more skillfully. It provides a clear road map to becoming more physically energized, emotionally connected, mentally focused, and spiritually aligned -- both on and off the job.

I do not like amazon. I never got my product. It never arrived even though I paid for quick delivery ($10 for the book and $30 for the delivery). This was for delivery within 4 days and now (25 days later) I still haven't got it. Thanks a lot amazon.
 A framework to manage your life June 10, 2010
M. A. Hernandez Ayala (Orlando, FL)
Feeling exhausted every day after work? Not satisfied with your fitness level, the depth of your emotional connections, your performance at work? I highly recommend this book if you would like to develop a framework to better manage your life in general. The book describes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energy and how we need to manage each of them to live a well-round life. It helps you build an actionable plan to achieve those goals.
 Helpful ideas for business and life May 25, 2010
M. C. Haupt (San Francisco, CA USA)
The Power of Full Engagement was actually much better than I anticipated. Though it is a quick read (not real profound), there are some helpful ideas on how we can live more fulfilling and productive lives. The book is definitely not just for entrepreneurs as it touches upon a range of behaviors from diet to spending time with family. The case studies are a bit weak, but I thought the analogies to running were well done. (Full disclosure: I am an avid runner.) I think I am going to buy a copy for my sibling who is going through a bad break up.
Get "Flow" instead April 19, 2010
Sachman Bhatti (Santa Barbara, CA)
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read this book this morning and I found it to be useless. Mainly, the book frames its goal as becoming a "corporate athlete" and out of this root idea that I disagree with, the book goes on to tell you that humans get energy, spend energy, rest and get excited...and all that that we already know. None of this was actionable, but what was actionable was the psychological shift to becoming a "corporate athlete."
I prefer to think about how my engagements and pursuits in life, such as professional projects like jobs, can enhance my overall life, or how to use that energy to truly productive - and that's why I bought this book, for things of that sort. But it seems this book is written by those company motivator-types that come and tell everyone to get M-M-M motivated! \o/
Outside of the basics, food and rest and things we can manage easily when the rest is in order - when it comes to energy, engagement, our attention and enthusiasm - the meaningful questions seem to be - how do we get engaged? what keeps our attention and why? on what grounds do we gain enthusiasm for things? etc etc.........because the truth is - if you find work to be a not engaging, psyching yourself out will only go so far - there's probably something else going on - maybe the job just sucks, maybe it's how you go about it, or maybe it's how the goals are aligned there. It could be management, it could be relationships, it could be all sorts of things - but reading a book telling you "Oh, you should be engaged! People that are engaged and excited, they do better!" Like seriously....I don't know why this book has such high ratings....it's like hearing your father ramble in monotone about the virtues of being a hard worker - or someone telling you how you have to life fully and with a smile, because it's the way to go --- well, everyone would if they could. Out of a self-improvement book I expect meaningful actionable content.
There's a recent book on how the mind goes into states of truly complete engagement and what the conditions are, and it's called "Flow" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. I strongly recommend that book. Understanding that won't be the "last thing you ever needed to learn" (how boring would that be anyway?), but I felt I got a lot more out of understanding that, even in the central ideas, than reading through this book this morning.
Solid "how to" method April 18, 2010
Diane P (Denver, CO)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book has a solid proven method for getting more engaged in your life from every aspect (physically energize, emotionally connected, mentally focused, spiritually aligned) at work and at play. I never thought about managing my energy; only that no matter how much I tried to manage my time, I felt as though at the end of each day, I'd just collapsed into bed, totally spent, with a lot accomplished, but so much unaccomplished, and as though I let someone down that day -- my 3 yr old son, my husband, my job, my friend or family member --my self.
This book has provided an easy to use frame work that is easy to customize to me and helped me determine my values, and put those values at the forefront of my days, align my actions to those priorities and build easy rituals around those values.
My energy is best when I follow my plan. Yes, I stumble, but the structure makes it ease to realign and get back to my plan to live a more purpose driven life day by day. (I also found the iPhone App, Touch Goal, an excellent tool that works well to track my progress against my rituals.)
