New Book Reveals Why Managing Your Energy, Not Your Time, Is The Secret to High Performance
London, UK – In today’s fast-paced and demanding workplace, employees have access to more productivity tools than ever before. However, this has not stopped burnout, stress and exhaustion from rising. According to author and performance enhancement expert Richard Maddocks, the problem lies in the fact that organizations have been managing time rather than energy. In his newly revised and updated paperback edition, The Energy Book: 50 Ways to Boost Your Energy in Work and Life, published by LID Publishing, Maddocks argues that sustainable high performance is dependent on understanding how to protect and replenish personal energy.
With over 40 years of experience helping organizations improve performance, Maddocks believes that the modern workplace has created an “energy deficit” that impacts productivity, creativity, decision-making, and wellbeing.
“Many people believe they need more time, but in reality, they need more energy. Time is a fixed resource, but energy can be renewed. When individuals understand what gives them energy and what drains it, they are able to perform better, make better decisions, and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives,” says Maddocks.
Rather than focusing on productivity hacks or working harder, The Energy Book offers 50 practical techniques to help readers increase their physical, emotional, mental, and purpose-driven energy. The result is improved resilience, sharper thinking, and higher performance, both professionally and personally.
Maddocks also believes that leaders play a crucial role in managing energy and states, “Many organizations unknowingly create environments that drain people’s energy. Leaders often measure productivity without considering whether their teams have the energy to sustain it. When organizations prioritize energy over just performance, everyone benefits.”
The Energy Book delves into the reasons why managing energy is more important than managing time, explores the hidden causes of workplace burnout, and introduces the four dimensions of personal energy. It also provides practical daily habits to improve resilience and wellbeing, guides leaders on creating more energized and productive teams, and argues that sustainable performance, not constant busyness, should be the new measure of success.
Part of LID Publishing’s bestselling Concise Advice series, The Energy Book combines business insight with practical self-development advice, offering readers 50 simple, evidence-informed techniques to boost their energy, reduce stress, and achieve sustainable high performance at work and in life.
