With brisk efficiency, Stack (Leave the Office Earlier
) breezes through 21 factors affecting the energy or capacity to perform the myriad duties, obligations, responsibilities and activities of daily schedules. In an appealingly simple format, Stack breaks these factors into three categories: physiological (including diet, nutrition, sleep, exercise and metabolism), practices (attitude, relaxation, time management, etc.) and periphery (environment, relationships and stress level), and guides readers through three weeks of replacing “energy bandits” with corresponding “energy boosters.” Her health advice focuses on maximum results in little time; her cures for major energy drains (cigarettes, caffeine, electronic devices, workaholism, perfectionism and procrastination, for example) are practical, and her perspectives on stressful home and workplace relationships are refreshing. She helps readers distinguish between status quo tasks and more fulfilling ones that move them forward, and makes a strong case for focusing rather than multitasking. While her “just do it” approach may not work for everyone, it just might help many clear a path to realizing their dreams. -

Productivity expert and best-selling author Stack ("Leave the Office Earlier") again tempts the overwhelmed and overworked in this examination of one of productivity's main enemies: exhaustion. Following a brief introduction, a self-assessment test helps readers identify where they fall within the low-energy spectrum. Each of the 21 chapters addresses an energy factor, and together they make up Stack's 21-day plan. For each factor, Stack defines "energy bandits" and offers "energy boosters," tailored, practical strategies for battling exhaustion. Of some concern are sections wherein Stack reaches beyond her area of expertise, as with her chapter on nutrition, in which she delves into nutrients and micronutrients. Also troubling is her support of claims with citations to commercial web sites, not independent research: the resource she cites under "Dehydration," e.g., is www.bottledwater.org. That said, most of the content is based on well-known, common-sense advice, and Stack's distinctive approach, accessible style, and clear organization should make this as successful as her previous works.
