Summary: The perfect remedy for restoring focus and energy....FAST!!!
Review: A few years ago I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Suzanne Zoglio at a book signing/seminar based on her award-winning book ?Create a Life That Tickles Your Soul.? That book was a life changer and I am living a more purposeful and directed life as a result. But like many people, lately I?d been finding it hard to maintain motivation on a daily basis. The stress and pressure of working 24/7 would build up and then I?d feel drained. That was, until I read Recharge in Minutes. Dr. Sue?s ?Quick-Lift Method? showed me a whole new way to restore focus and energy fast?so life?s day-to-day challenges don?t accumulate.

This book of masterfully crafted one-pagers offers inspiration and practical tips for Finding Focus, Chilling Out, Revving Up, Discovering Courage, and many other ways to renew your enthusiasm?for work and for life. Recharge in Minutes includes 101 Quick-Lifts that take one to ten minutes?energizing ideas like ?Practice Morning Intent,? ?Do, Defer, or Delegate,? ?Watch for Miracles.? There are recharging ideas here for everyone?from soccer moms to CEOs, and the book is so reader-friendly, it?s easy to find a Quick-Lift that?s just right for your situation.

If you?ve got too much on your plate, feel drained at the end of the day, or simply want to boost your enthusiasm, read this book. It?ll show you how to make a habit of taking better breaks?any time, any place?breaks that restore some of the energy you?re expending on a daily basis!

Summary: Been Waiting For This One
Review: Dr. Zoglio continues to inspire and provide new approaches to addressing daily challenges and opportunities. I have read this book several times and find myself applying the concepts across all areas of my life from the office to home and in re-creational activities. I consciously call on those Recharging 'minutes' if my enthusiasm or energy is waning in a situation - and I readily get my game face back. I'm using the ideas in this book as tools and as weapons. The book is clear and as always you can appreciate Dr. Zoglio's innovative style and ability to convey the message.
I also went back to the shelf and re-read Tickle Your Soul - the book that left me waiting for this one.

Summary: Great gift: Friends and co-workers are already thanking me!
Review: It seems like everyone I know is trying to keep multiple plates spinning on the ends of sticks like the jugglers on Ed Sullivan years ago. We all keep racing from stick to stick as each plate wobbles and threatens to fall. This book is a treasure chest of easy-to-employ stress relievers that help us to break the racing-around cycle and relax/re-energize with a variety of clever 10-minute techniques. Let's face it, we're all so stressed, we need quick interventions, not things that create more stress because we have to make a big commitment of time, energy and money. Dr. Zoglio offers up 101 different tips that range from purely practical to zany and creative, so the book will appeal to many people. I think it's a great gift idea for co-workers because when a group reads it and tries some of the strategies, they can use them at work during high-stress times. I'm thinking that next time my work group hits a wall, everyone should go back to their work stations and use one of her tips, then re-group in a better frame of mind. Wouldn't it be great to come back relaxed and energized after only ten minutes? Also, I love Sue Zoglio's special insprirational quotes in each chapter; they're perfect to include in notes or email or put on your screen saver. Share this book with people you care about. Giving it will recharge you, and receiving it will recharge them!

Summary: Recharged by Recharged in Minutes
Review: LOVE this new book!!! It offered so many new and different ways to address stress and relaxation. Zoglio has authored another very appealing book...just in time because my copy of Create a Life That Tickles Your Soul(a previous book) is getting a bit dog-eared. This is a great addition to my shelf. In fact, it's now with one of my HR people who saw it lying behind my desk and oh'd and ah'd over it. I keep it at my desk because at work is where I need it the most, so I often pick it up and read a page in a section that applies to the "stress of the day." If you ever need a quick lift during a busy day, purchase this book.

Summary: Quick ways to work your way out of depression
Review: Recharge in Minutes by Suzanne Zoglio
2003. Tower Hill Press, Doylestown, PA

This excellent, short, easy-to-read book gives 101 ways to raise your mood. Most of these ideas have been advocated by many writers and experts. The strength of Recharge in Minutes is that each idea is described in a single page or less. If one is depressed, it is difficult to read a long, detailed manual about what to do. Just a few minutes with this book can boost your mood.

I have used many of these methods to battle depression. When I'm depresed, I'm confused. I don't know where I'm going. I can't see the big picture. I need to get in touch with my inner self. This book reminds me of what me in the past and tells me what will help now.

These tools put you in touch with your soul. They can help you find your destiny, what you want to get out of life, and what you want your life to have meant to the world.

Many therapists have cited the benefit of writing in a journal. Rechange in Minutes gives you many things to write about. One method is to write a "dream letter" to a friend. You are to pretend it is 2 years from now, and you are to describing your ideal life.

Summary: Recharge used for Plant Leaders
Review: We used (and are still using) Recharge for our High Performance Leadership Team as a teaching/learning tool. Each member has his/her own copy (35 in all)to be used for reference. At team meetings people are sharing how they are using the many bits of advice found in Dr. Sue's wonderful book. With the reduced number of people and funds that seem to be a way of life anymore, it seemed as if our Leaders were getting sapped of their energy, trying to do more with less. Recharge opened our eyes to methods that really work... at work! We don't have to take a vacation get that recharge!

If you really want a recharge, have Dr. Sue personally deliver a mini-seminar on the subject. We did and the results are fantastic!
