⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ I really appreciated the concept of this book and found I could relate to having different energy levels emotionally, mentally and physically. The author covers how these three energy types can be drained, whilst also providing strategies to boost, rest and protect them. The book is written in the format of a ‘game’, where the aim is to work through the different strategies and find what works for you and then implement it long term. The strategies are all low time and effort commitment, which for those experiencing burnout, feels more achievable. There’s a lot of research touched on throughout the book which supports her suggestions, and she’s tested them in real life with a number of people. I personally didn’t love the gamification of the book, but still found some of the suggestions useful. I felt the protect strategies were a little drawn out and could’ve been simplified into a few stronger ideas. Overall it’s an easy and practical read, but I feel the tone of the book might not resonate with everyone, however for others, it might be the type of simple humour and quick read they need.

Note to self: Simple. Evidence based. I particularly liked the evidence based strategies: how they are grouped across different areas (ie rest/ protect / and one other I can’t recall now! 😂) & the construct of a game (ie randomly selecting strategies and see how they work! There is no right or wrong way.

Turns out I really enjoy reading research based non-fiction books. I will DEFINITELY be reading this book again. Had really practical solutions you can use in your day-to-day life that actually work.
