The document discusses managing energy for peak performance. It argues that leaders should focus on managing energy rather than time, and that they inspire or demoralize others through their own energy management. It presents three choices for approaching life and work: as a marathon with no demand peaks, as a sprint with too much demand, or as a series of sprints with recovery periods. The key is balancing results with renewal of physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual energies. It provides 10 simple strategies for renewal, such as power breathing, good sleep, daily rituals and exercise.
