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)

Tony Schwartz has become a National Treasure, the champion of a new source of renewable energy—ourselves! The Way We’re Working Isn’t Working is a great combination of engaging intellectual foundations, intriguing research findings, and truly practical advice. It’s a veritable handbook for putting each of us on a more engaged, more productive, more satisfying—more energetic!—life course.

Robert Kegan, PhD, Harvard School of Education, co-author of Immunity to Change

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.
