The Energy Advantage: How to Go from Managing Your Time to Mastering Your Energy

by Ricardo Sunderland

How do you maximize your success and impact as a leader while maintaining your stamina and sanity? The answer doesn’t lie in simple “efficiency.” It’s not about making better use of your time and resources. It’s about understanding how energy works and how to tap into its power.

Many people live lives of intense, and false, emotional compartmentalization. For example, they strive to be one person in the corner office (invincible warrior) and another person at the dinner table (sensitive spouse), and they struggle to keep those two lives from bleeding into and contradicting each other. But as it turns out, this takes a tremendous amount of energy and is almost always impossible. One person can’t be two different people.

So how do you live an integrated life of fulfillment, purpose, and success? How do you create an alignment between head, heart, and the creative power that is in coherence with your true self? The answer is both simple and You need to move from managing your time to mastering your energy.

Given this major leadership challenge, leaders must gain the energy advantage.

Interesting and reflective read. It’s not a super practical guide you can apply right away, but it offers meaningful insights that make you pause and think.

Really liked this reflection: “ I commit to accept the will of the universe, with all my heart and all of my souls. I deserve the best in life. I serve the best cause in life. I am a divine manifestation of the universe. “

There are exercises to work through as you read the book and learn Sunderland's approach. I didn't have the time to work through those but do plan on doing that.

It would be best to make the time for these exercises in order to fully evaluate the merits, but you can learn a good bit just reading the book.

Có một số điều thú vị và mới mẻ. Coaching nhưng cũng có tâm lý và sau cùng even là tâm linh luôn. Nhưng chưa đủ wow cho lần đọc đầu, dù vẫn nghĩ là ý tưởng của Sunderland khá thú vị.

hơi khó đọc dù không dài, và đụng vào tâm linh và tâm lý nhiều dù ta tưởng đang đọc về năng lượng

hệ thống liệu pháp gia đình (IFS), nỗi sợ bị từ chối/bỏ rơi

muốn coaching/tư vấn thì trước hết phải xây dựng mqh và có được niềm tin của client

giọng nói trong đầu

đoạn tâm linh hơi ảo lòi, đến tình yêu vô điều kiện cho người khác thì hơi cảm thấy.....tháp Maslow


có những niềm tin thường đến từ bố mẹ dạy và người ta không muốn làm trái đi những niềm tin đó vì họ nghĩ như vậy là phản bội/đi ngược lại với bố mẹ họ. mà có những niềm tin/lời dạy đã được truyền từ nhiều đời và dễ là lỗi thời. nhưng lúc còn nhỏ thì ta dĩ nhiên đơn thuần tin/nghe theo bố mẹ mình và mang niềm tin đó đến khi trưởng thành và cuộc sống, xã hội đã thay đổi nhiều so với trước

nói chung là học về coaching và trị liệu tâm lý nhiều vào thui
