In today’s fast-paced culture, many of us push ourselves to the limit in pursuit of success—only to end up exhausted and burned out. Dr. James Hewitt knows this firsthand. A former elite cyclist, coach, and now renowned human-performance scientist, he has advised everyone from Formula 1 teams to Fortune 500 executives. His new book, Regenerative Performance: How to Thrive in an Always-On World Without Sacrificing Your Well-Being, offers a practical framework for sustaining high performance without sacrificing well-being.
