Book review

A guide to personal energy management.

by Kimberly Kingsley

The demands of a fast-paced world often pull our energy in multiple directions, leaving us depleted and overwhelmed. Gulping down Red Bull or relying on adrenalin for energy is not a long-term solution but is being treated as such, thus causing many stress-related illnesses.

Kingsley introduces personal energy management — a way to live life to its fullest while preserving and renewing our personal energy to elevate us from survival mode to a place where we grow and thrive.

As a guide to personal energy management, this book teaches us to: increase resilience against daily challenges by cultivating an energy buffer; use the language of energy for making everyday decisions; protect us from drains that exist in every sphere of life; and become free from self-defeating thoughts and behaviors that deplete energy.

We often ignore the subtle signs of energy deficiency — excessive hunger, irritability and even boredom — which indicate that it is time to plug into our internal source of energy and become charged from within. Instead, we often mistakenly over-consume as a way to energize, which provides a short burst of energy followed by a lull, taking us to ever lower energy levels.

Kingsley shows how to make life-enhancing choices, not life-depleting ones, every moment of every day.
