Your Elite Energy: A Blueprint to Break Free from Burnout and Restore Your Vitality
Are you exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling disconnected from your work? Do you find yourself pushing harder and harder, yet never feeling like it is enough?
You are not alone. It is called burnout, and it is an epidemic affecting individuals, teams, and entire organizations.
Author Bree Bacon juggled a high-pressure corporate job while being a new mom, attempting to give her best to both, believing she should be able to handle it all. Yet sleepless nights led to mounting anxiety and panic attacks, and eventually, she broke.
In a culture that glorifies working harder, longer, and being “always on,” we are told to do more, achieve more, and push ourselves to the limit. However, the truth energy—your capacity to do work—is not infinite. It needs to be protected, nurtured, and replenished.
Your Elite Energy combines the latest research with Bree’s lessons learned to provide a practical, actionable framework for combating burnout while protecting and replenishing your energy. It is key for individuals, teams, and organizations who aim to foster a culture where well-being is not seen as in conflict with productivity but as the essential investment for unlocking true capacity and achieving sustainable success.

I wrote "Your Elite Energy" because I needed it. And I know I’m not alone.
Burnout is everywhere—quietly draining our health, creativity, capacity, and joy. "Your Elite Energy" is my answer to that: a personal framework to help you reset, recharge, and realign with what actually fuels you.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a flexible, intuitive, visual system that looks at your well-being and capacity holistically—mind, body, heart, rest, and growth. The book is full of reflection questions and simple tools I’ve used myself (and still do!) to navigate life, work, and investing in my best capacity—for myself and the people I care about.
Yes, it’s rooted in research—but it’s also deeply personal. I share my story, including some of the hardest parts, because I believe someone needs to hear: you are not alone. This book is about discovering your own version of thriving—and being honest about what’s no longer working.
If you’re feeling stretched too thin, or if someone you care about is struggling to keep up, I hope this book helps. I wrote it with you in mind.

Your Elite Energy introduces a compelling and thoughtful framework for personal empowerment through what the author defines as the “Elite Energy System.” Grounded in five core pillars—rest, mind, body, heart, and reach—the book encourages a holistic approach to reclaiming one’s vitality, focus, and purpose.
Even in the first half of the book, it’s clear that the author brings both passion and clarity to each concept. The chapters are structured with insight and intention, guiding readers to reflect on how each area influences their overall energy and well-being. The emphasis on rest as a foundational pillar is especially refreshing in a culture that often glorifies burnout. Similarly, the integration of mind and heart work adds emotional depth and mental awareness that many personal development books only skim.
The author’s voice is encouraging and accessible, offering a balanced mix of practical tools, personal insight, and reflective prompts. Although I have not yet completed the book, it’s already evident that Your Elite Energy has the potential to resonate with readers looking to reset or elevate their lives—whether they are overwhelmed professionals, parents, creatives, or simply people seeking more meaningful daily alignment.
I look forward to finishing the book and seeing how the final chapters, particularly those focused on reach, tie the full system together. But so far, this is a thoughtful, well-structured, and engaging guide that offers readers a new lens through which to view energy—not just as something we spend, but something we can cultivate.

A Must-Read on Intentional Living and Whole-Body Wellness!
This book is a beautifully written, deeply personal, and research-backed guide to intentional living and whole-body wellness. It’s an easy, engaging read that weaves together heartfelt stories, practical insights, and a refreshingly intuitive framework that feels both unique and universally applicable.
What truly sets this book apart is the author herself. Having had the privilege of knowing Bree personally and witnessing her journey firsthand, I can attest that she lives what she teaches. Her authenticity, brilliance, and intentionality shine through every page. She doesn’t just offer advice—she models it, even in the face of challenges we all recognize.
The system she introduces is remarkably intuitive. It brings together practical elements in a way that makes sense and feels natural. It’s not a one-and-done solution—it’s scalable, flexible, and timeless. Whether you’re applying it in your personal life or professional setting, it’s a framework you’ll return to again and again as you grow and evolve.
One of the standout features is the visual structure and language Bree provides to help readers check in with themselves. It’s a tool for reflection, realignment, and ultimately, rising into a more intentional way of being.
This isn’t just a book—it’s a movement. Whether you read it solo, with your team, or in a book club, the impact will be profound.

A must read book for all. A book that touches on promoting alignment with Mind, Body and Heart with belief and core values to produce intrinsic drive to cope with life events. We can't contol changes in our environment, we can control how to drive our body with Elite Energy. Read about practical steps we can take to have energy, ELITE ("the most effective version of I"). The goal of this book is simple, "My Elite Energy".
I really like the use of Newton's pendulum to explain BODY, MIND, HEART and the driving force and how it is deeply rooted in our belief system and core values. Bree explains, energy is not about drowning ourselves in energy drinks, drowning ourselves in caffeine or striving to perfect our time management. It is an alignment, a balance, of our self-belief/core values that allows our body/mind/heart to generate intrinsic drive.
I like Image 19: Balance. So true about the relationship about Rest and Reach! I was also able to imagine, as I closed my eyes and try to have rhythm in me, a steady rhythm! Chapter 12 Creating a Culture is a good 2nd Book! I look forward to seeing how Bree expands this rhythmic pendulum Elite Energy into Company Culture, Social Culture etc.
"Elite Energy system is not just a choice, it is a vital necessity", I can't agree more! Read it to explore and discover your Elite Energy!

Being a “seasoned” 73-year-old with a background in psychology, I’ve read many self-help books. Your Elite Energy: A Blueprint to Break Free from Burnout and Restore Your Vitality by Bree Bacon offers an engaging approach I haven’t encountered in other books. By providing thought-provoking questions to prompt a reader through the steps to examine their values and beliefs, and how their self care in the areas of mind, body, and heart, rest, and stretching yourself in new ways, leads the reader forward in their personal growth. The author’s inclusion of her personal story and responses to the questions she is asking of others motivates the reader to work through their answers to develop their own elite energy.
While heavily researched, the author uses everyday language to help individuals maximize personal potential and consequently an energized employee. If utilized by an organization, the effort has the potential to maximize collective efforts in any work environment.

Everyone wants to find a magical way to “do it all” but this is the first framework I’ve seen that addresses the interconnectedness of our lives (personal and professional) as well as our bodies (mental and physical).
Bacon dismantles the idea that burnout is “normal” or just a part of life, and unravels how chronic stress and burnout can ravage your health and relationships. But it's not about doom and gloom - she's setting the stakes for how important it is to achieve a better balance.
The book is a powerful combination of science, psychology and personal story. Rather than a “one size fits all” checklist it’s a customizable framework that you tailor to your needs.
I highly recommend "Your Elite Energy" for anyone who's tired of platitudes about work/life balance and is ready for actionable advice. I truly believe this book provides a path for not just balance but peace in today's demanding world.

Your Elite Energy by Bree Bacon is a powerful, compassionate, and incredibly useful guide to understanding and overcoming burnout. Bree shares her personal journey with raw honesty, then equips readers with a clear and actionable framework for reclaiming energy, clarity, and balance.
What I loved most is how the book combines heartfelt storytelling with science-backed insights.

It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what matters, in a way that’s sustainable and energizing.
Highly recommended for anyone feeling overwhelmed, overworked, or simply ready to redefine what thriving looks like. A true gem in the wellness and leadership space.

Bree introduces a practical framework for balancing "whole self" in order to achieve your best overall personal energy. Too often individuals focus on one part of their lives and expect it to change their whole. Bree offers helpful reflection questions and ideas so that by the end of the book you're left with actionable suggestions you can immediately apply to your own life and feel an instant impact on every aspect of your energy from mental, to physical, to emotional and in between. If you're struggling with burnout or overall, just looking for ways to bring more energy to your life, this is a great, quick read.

Highly recommend reading "Your Elite Energy" by Bree Bacon. I'm a very go-go-go person myself, and I've found that the quality of my work can suffer as a result of this approach. This passage really captures the book's message for me:
1. “In a culture that celebrates ‘always on,’ we’ve overlooked something fundamental: safeguarding our energy is essential for sustainable, fulfilling work.”

Bree Bacon beautifully captures a rhythm that has existed from the beginning of time. The invitation from the Creator was for humans to rest and then enter into their work energized not depleted! The science and statistics once again prove the benefit of choosing this way of life. Give yourself and those around you the gift of honestly walking through the simple steps and breathe life into your relationships and your workplace.

Bree makes it feel like change is possible just by setting up a great foundational energy system. Couldn’t have come at a better time for me- burnout on the brink! Loved her audio book and kindle version. Worked through plans that actually worked for me, not general pop!
