I took life easy in June and July, being in the maintenance mode and doing only the bare minimum things just to sustain. Which meant, even my favorite pastime, reading, also came to a stand still. I just managed to read the following books (and even forgot to update the reading list, the only thing in this blog lately). Things are changing, though.
The Power of Full Engagement - Managing Energy, Not Time, Is The Key To High Performance and Personal Renewal - Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz
This book has practical advise on managing energy for superior performance. The methodology is grounded in author's experience of working with great athletes (likes of Pete Sampras) for 25 years in helping achieve top notch performance under extreme pressures. This book talks of the following things:
· Mobilize four key sources of energy(physical, emotional, mental and spiritual)
· Balance energy expenditure with intermittent energy renewal
· Expand capacity in the same systematic way that elite athletes do
· Create highly specific, positive energy management rituals
It proved to be an interesting read and with immediate applications.
Believe in Yourself - Joseph Murphy
Dr. Joseph Murphy was the author of The Power of your Subconscious Mind. In Believe in Yourself, Dr. Murphy shows you how the power of believing in yourself will help you achieve your dreams. He illustrates his points with wonderful stories about how inventors, writers, artists, and entrepreneurs have used this power to reach the highest of heights. Though interesting and useful, its a tough read compared to his celebrated book The Power of your Subconscious Mind. It would need another read to understanding deeply so that the principles can be put to use.
