Reviews
This is an OK book with some great ideas. I think the book could sum up its points into a blog post.
Good book for a skim through.

If you’re new to self-help, this book gives a great introduction to a wide range of topics and concepts—from energy and productivity to emotional/intelligence management, cognitive capacity and focus, engaging the whole brain, physical health and wellness and purpose/fulfillment.
If you’re extremely well-read, you’ll probably be familiar with many of the examples and research studies or concepts. But the book still ties everything very nicely together with it’s overarching framework on the 4 types of energy.
What it covers:
• The 4 main sources of energy—physical, emotional, mental and spiritual—that fuel all human beings, and how they relate to our 4 fundamental needs for sustainability, emotional security, self-expression and significance. Find out why our current way of working is so draining and ineffective, and what you can do about it.
• How to achieve optimal, sustainable peak performance by alternating rhythmically between activity and rest, and by expanding your capacity in 4 areas to energize yourself.
• How to get started by developing personal awareness, facilitate change with rituals and habits, and forging a real partnership at work.
