About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Tom Rath's books -- which include StrengthsFinder 2.0 and Eat Move Sleep -- have sold 6 million copies and spent 300 weeks on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list. This one is arguably Rath's best. He has written a book that is as readable as it is rigorous and as profound as it is practical."
―DANIEL H. PINK, author of Drive and To Sell Is Human

Are You Fully Charged? is about renewing ourselves in the fullest sense. Drawing on his extensive research, Tom Rath provides us with the three key pillars that can help create a life of more meaning and perspective: being part of something larger than ourselves, valuing people and experiences over mere stuff, and understanding that looking after our own well-being is the first step to doing more for others. An essential book for anyone wanting more out of life.
―ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, author of Thrive and co-founder of The Huffington Post
