For anyone who has attempted to achieve anything from losing 5lbs of stubborn body fat to an Olympic Medal, we all wonder what is holding us back or what is in our way. Is it our minds? Our bodies? Our coaches?

Dr. Jim Loehr, a PhD in Psychology, has spent his life answering these questions. As the former chairman, CEO, and co-founder of the Human Performance Institute (HPI), now a division, of Johnson & Johnson, Loehr developed a ground-breaking, science-based energy management training system. He used this system with hundreds of world-class performers from the arenas of sport, business, medicine, and law enforcement, including Fortune 100 executives, FBI hostage rescue teams, and military special forces. Dr. Loehr is the author of eighteen other books, including the national bestseller The Power of Full Engagement. His recent book, SAPIENS REINVENTED, is step beyond his life's work and shows how violence and prejudice are linked to humans' evolutionary drive for self-preservation but he believes the way forward is improving ourselves to account for what he believes is a flaw in our nature. The upgrade we all need, according to Dr. Loehr, is compassion; for ourselves and for others. Dr. Loehr believes that character strength and empathy can be built in the same way that muscle strength is built—through energy investment. Rep after rep.
