We all know what it feels like to be "on"€”to wake up feeling refreshed and rested, to bound through the day feeling like you can conquer the world as you bounce between work, family, and friends, and go to bed feeling relaxed and satisfied with your accomplishments. What made all the difference during those highly productive days? It€™s simple€”energy. You can't buy it at the store, but you can control your energy levels. Here for the first time is a simple program to increase your energy immediately€”and keep it up throughout the day, every day. Through his work with more than 500 clients, Jim Karas has identified the 10 components that contribute to your personal balance-of-energy equation€”and created the 7-Day Energy Surge to help you put all 10 to work for you. He exposes the bad habits that sabotage energy, lays out the principles for increasing your energy and offers simple strategies that are easily customizable for anyone to us
Nothing extraordinary that hasn't been said, or isn't common sense. The book's title is mis-leading however... Its a diet. The diet is of the low carb, low calorie variety, and not some miracle plan he's cooked up. Basically, if you eat healthy, and very little, you're going to lose weight. I would have probably felt more energized if I wasn't starving the whole time (in fact, after passing out at work the second day, I had to up the calorie intake by ~200-300 per day), and if I had followed the sleep recommendations better. Go figure, you are more energetic if you're not sleep deprived. Genius.
I object to a great deal of what's in this book. Jim is very Hollywood. His entire approach is a personal training focus. Not all of us can afford this and can be motivated by this approach. I am not. He obviously struck a chord with his shrink after the divorce hence her contribution and his mention numerous times of his kids and no spouse. I can only speak about my own personal positive experience as a result of group experience.
Gave this book 4 stars because it sounds good, but it's still "theory" for me. ;) If it proves to be "fact" I'll repost. :)) Keep your fingers crossed!
