      This audio aims to help listeners get excited about improving their energy level and productivity. The author describes well-known practices that lower stress, boost feel-good hormones, and promote the steady supply of energy everyone needs to be productive. She sounds energetic: Her perky reading will motivate people to consider adopting habits like better sleep and relaxation, healthy eating, regular intellectual stimulation, good sex and relationships, and reasonable exercise. She doesn't mince words in describing energy-draining states like overwork, extreme emotions, or substance abuse and offers a backdrop of medical/technical information, all without sounding tedious. With her genuine optimism never far from center stage, this is a well-crafted reminder that with a few lifestyle changes we can give ourselves what we need to enjoy life more. T.W.

      Personal productivity expert Stack (Leave the Office Earlier) identifies elements that drain our energy and lays out a plan for positive change. Unfortunately, the many listed items (e.g., recommended foods) sound monotonous and somewhat stilted, and a self-assessment test requires pen and paper, difficult for commuters. Despite Bernadette Dunne's best effort, this is a title better read than listened to, as it requires rapt attention and the ability to take expanded notes. Optional for larger audio collections.

      With brisk efficiency, Stack (Leave the Office Earlier
      ) breezes through 21 factors affecting the energy or capacity to perform the myriad duties, obligations, responsibilities and activities of daily schedules. In an appealingly simple format, Stack breaks these factors into three categories: physiological (including diet, nutrition, sleep, exercise and metabolism), practices (attitude, relaxation, time management, etc.) and periphery (environment, relationships and stress level), and guides readers through three weeks of replacing “energy bandits” with corresponding “energy boosters.” Her health advice focuses on maximum results in little time; her cures for major energy drains (cigarettes, caffeine, electronic devices, workaholism, perfectionism and procrastination, for example) are practical, and her perspectives on stressful home and workplace relationships are refreshing. She helps readers distinguish between status quo tasks and more fulfilling ones that move them forward, and makes a strong case for focusing rather than multitasking. While her “just do it” approach may not work for everyone, it just might help many clear a path to realizing their dreams.
