About the Book
Time management is obsolete. In The Power of Full Engagement, Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz reveal energy as the true currency of elite performance. Drawing from decades with world-class athletes, they present a revolutionary four-dimensional framework—physical, emotional, mental, spiritual—and a systematic methodology to transform professionals into corporate athletes. This isn't about working harder; it's about oscillating strategically between stress and recovery to achieve sustainable excellence.
