Be Excellent at Anything:

The Four Keys to Transforming the Way We Work and Live

(previously published as The Way We're Working Isn't Working)

For two decades, Tony Schwartz has been observing, reporting, and teaching the fundamentals of performance in every arena where excellence matters -- from playing fields to corporate boardrooms. His new book looks at the reasons why working harder doesn't translate to working better. Backed by research and his own case studies, he offers a path to better results and higher rewards that should be hugely valuable to individuals and organizations alike.

Be Excellent at Anything makes a compelling case for a new kind of workplace, a better way of working and a more deeply satisfying way of life. Employers and employees alike share an unspoken assumption that human beings are capable of operating in the same way computers do: continuously, at ever higher speeds, running multiple programs at the same time. In fact, we're designed to pulse. We're more productive and more satisfied when we move rhythmically between spending and renewing our energy across four dimensions: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

The Power of Full Engagement:

Managing Energy Not Time is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal

Most of us have experienced moments when all of our resources are working in concert when our spirits, creativity, and productivity are at their peak. Attempts to describe this feeling are usually as futile as the struggle to resurrect that perfect state of mind. The Power of Full Engagement not only explains this phenomenon, it lays out a way to marshal it each and every day of our lives. Reading this book is an exercise in hope‹a reminder of what's posible when we tap the full scope of our resources.
