Summary: Excellent Pointers on Cleaning up One's Act
Review: Very good book good content. A few of the chapters could be cut down is size and still provide that same data. Would also have liked some more practical content like more food recomendations, handling medication, stress reduction tips. other than that. I've started my program and I think it's helping. Be it either more positive approach and feeling I'm in control or the stuff works. Either way I think this was $20 well spent.

Summary: Great companion to Covey's Seven Habits
Review: When do you get the most work done? For me, it is in the morning. If I could get away with working from 5am to noon, I'd be the most productive person in the office! For others, it might be the afternoon. This is part of the idea behind The Power of Full Engagement. It is a book about managing our energy.The authors have been very successful in coaching world-class athletes to peak performances. This book shares those principles with the rest of us. The book teaches about managing energy in the mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional areas of life. If all we do is try to manage time, we will fail. What's the use of having your time mapped out if you don't have any energy? I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A GREAT COMPANION BOOK TO STEPHEN COVEY'S SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Worthwhile variation of theme
Review: As with many self-help books, there is a lot of basic common sense pre-packaged in this book. Nevertheless, I found the focus on managing energy rather than time to be a useful one and together with a good time management book, like Dave Allen's Getting Things Done, this book provides the basis for a strong system to build on.

Summary: "Full Engagement" is Awesome!!!
Review: This book convinced me that you aren't fully engaged in life unless your Physical, Mental, Spiritual, and Emotional energies are fully charged and working together. You get them fully charged by having your your day to day actions and behaviours aligned with your values and true intentions. "Full Engagement" explains how to accomplish this by assessing and dealing with the stark reality that sometimes your actions and behaviors contradict your true intentions. Example: I would tell you that I deeply respect people. Hmmm, why then am I always 5 minutes late to meetings and appointments? Oops -- I need to fix that contradiction. Somehow the Full Engagement approach just feels more realistic than Covey's 7 Habits. Not that I don't like 7 Habits -- I think the book is awesome -- but I guess I just appreciate the extra reality this one provides. It is harder to kid yourself after reading this book.
Bottom line: If you are serious about improving your life, buy this book. For those interested, the book does mention information about an optional "full engagement" assessment program that is available (extra $$$). I like having the option to dig deeper and become even more fully engaged.

Summary: It Just Works
Review: Simple things but they work. Think positive thoughts, you'll be creative. Take some down time and your energy factory will be able to handle more output. The positive rituals actually become neuronal connections that soon work automatically for you the same way that the old bad habits used to work against you. Very similar to a book I read on how to get out of depression called Depression is a Choice. But this is how to be more productive rather than how to get out of depression.

Summary: Energy is power
Review: We only have a certain amount of time and energy every day and there is no way to get everything done. Society and the world put way too much pressure on people now. By learning to manage what energy we do have consistantly, I think we would all be happier human beings. Check out Rat Race Relaxer: Your Potential & The Maze of Life, it also has good advice on living a more fulfilling life.

Summary: Engaged!
Review: This book provides a well organized framework for us human beings to manage our energy by defining its sources first on the dimensions of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Physical energy's source is primarily food, breathing, sleep and exercise. Mental energy is most optimal when we strive to be realistic optimists (we are what we eat AND what we think.) Emotional energy relies on all the facets of emotional intelligence including trust. Last and not least as spiritual energy is the starting point for all this energy; very secularly put, the energy of the spirit is all about core values beyond self interests. The authors also show us how we can create positive habits, or rituals to enrich these sources of energy. After reading this book and realizing that I do strive to tap into all four of these sources I was better able to define one of my own core competencies; I would think most employers want someone who is indeed fully engaged!
