In the book
Keep the spiritual tank topped, because it powers all the rest. This is the fuel of meaning, and it is fed by your deepest values — the enduring code of conduct that purpose is built upon; devote your time and energy to the things you genuinely enjoy, for excellence reliably follows enthusiasm and rarely follows mere prestige-seeking. Know your refuelers. Make an honest list of what actually gives you energy and what drains it; renew all four dimensions on a schedule, the way an athlete trains and recovers; keep an inventory of your peaks and troughs across a typical week to see your real pattern. Experiment with topping off the reserve — try a handful of boosters and learn which truly work for you — and play to your genuine strengths, the most reliable way to sustain power across a long flight. — Fuel (Energy)
