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)

Integrating our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual lives really enables “one life” and our life's work. Thank you Tony!

Alan Mulally, President and CEO, Ford Motor Company

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

Reading The Power of Full Engagement was a revelation. It fills in the missing element in mastery and accomplishment -- how to build, sustain, and renew the energy necessary to consistently perform at the highest level. With the digital world placing new demands on our time and attention, this book teaches us how we can keep our spirits, bodies, and attitudes in balance.

What Really Matters:

Searching for Wisdom in America

Finally, a book that lives up to its title. What Really Matters is nothing less than a modern-day Pilgrim’s Progress. What an adventure, but even more, a challenge as we plot our own life’s way.

F. Forrester Church, Late Pastor, All Souls Church, New York City

For five years, The Energy Project CEO, Tony Schwartz, travelled around the United States searching for answers to one of life's deepest question: What is a truly meaningful and complete life, and who's figured out how to live it? The result is an invaluable guide to the best teachers and techniques for self-discovery and self-improvement.
