Project Description

The Energy Project at Google (2008)

Your capacity hits a peak at a certain point in life.

In this video, The Energy Project CEO Tony Schwartz talks about the relationship between demand and capacity.

Demand is relentlessly rising and our capacity is not keeping pace. The traditional solution to higher demand has been to invest more time. Unfortunately, time is finite, and most of us have no hours left to invest.

Energy, however, can be systematically expanded and it can also be regularly renewed. To operate at our best, we need four energy sources: physical (quantity), emotional (quality), mental (focus), and the energy of the human spirit (purpose). This talk will focus on the role of energy in fueling sustainable high performance, and in motivating others.
