What if the standard productivity advice gets it wrong? What if your performance, health and happiness are grounded in how well you manage your energy, not your time?

Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz’s The Power of Full Engagement makes an excellent case for the role of energy in performance:

How to get back on track when your energy sags.

The role of your purpose and the amount of energy you invest in yourself vs. others.
