The Four Forgotten Needs that Energize Great Performance makes a compelling case for a new kind of workplace, a better way of working and a more deeply satisfying way of life. Employers and employees share an unspoken assumption that human beings are capable of operating in the same way computers do: continuously, at ever higher speeds, running multiple programs at the same time. In fact, we're designed to pulse. We're more productive and more satisfied when we move rhythmically between spending and renewing energy to meet our four key needs: physical, emotional, mental (self-expression) and spiritual (significance).
