Building intermittent breaks into the workday is not only counterintuitive, it’s also countercultural in the vast majority of organizations.

Perhaps no single daytime renewal behavior more reliably influences performance – and is less common in the workplace – than taking a nap.

Intense movement, balanced by deep recovery, dramatically increases our capacity, not just physically but also mentally and emotionally.

We lose fitness very rapidly when we’re sedentary, but we can gain it back if we’re willing to make the effort.

Systematically investing in people’s capacity, beginning at the physical level, is the key to fueling sustainable high performance.
