Summary of The Power of Full Engagement 

4.6 . 1092 reviews

Short summary

The modern world encourages constant long-distance running: the more jobs you have, the better; the longer you don't see your friends, the more productive you are. But resting and rebooting are the arts that require even more concentration. An effective work-life balance depends on managing our primary resource — energy. The authors of this New York Times bestseller, Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz, have helped thousands of people break free from oppressive lifestyles by giving them a hands-on approach to key areas of life — physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual. This summary will help you understand and handle your energy correctly, expand your capabilities, and implement rituals to bring you closer to success and goals that unlock your potential. ”The more we take responsibility for the energy we bring to the world, the more empowered and productive we become.” ~ Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz

Energy, not time, is the most important resource

Listen the first key point

Running at high speed for a distance with no end is how you can describe existence in the modern digital world. People have learned to live without pauses and replace rest with coffee or energy drinks. Constant fatigue accompanies us both at home and work because we have forgotten to value our primary resource — energy.

Diaries and notes on the phone save time, but no matter how efficiently you organize your day, you will not make all your plans come true without power. The positive energy that fuels us and our business is the primary source of healthy and happy functioning.

Energy is also crucial for being an effective leader in your family or company. You should draw the line between work and daily routine — only in this case will you spend energy rationally. Even Leonardo da Vinci was a fan of regular breaks from work, and he took a nap periodically during the day to rest and relax.

Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz had trained top athletes, successful Forbes managers, and even FBI special forces before working on The Power of Full Engagement. They uncovered what fuels energy, destroys it, and how to manage it in three stages. 1. Define your goal. To do this, you should focus on important things in your life. You know where to direct your energy when you have a goal supported by true values. 2. Analyze the current moment. Become aware of how you usually spend energy and define your work and personal relationships. 3. Create a personal development plan. Include positive energy rituals, or in other words, the formation of new healthy habits. By changing your approach to your routine, you can improve different aspects of your energy — physical, intellectual, and spiritual.

As a result, you will find a balance that will take you to a new level of productivity.
Our daily thoughts and actions shape us, so the key to a healthy and happy life is positive habits that we follow systematically.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
