About This Book

In The Charge, Brendon argues that the only way to measurably improve the quality of your life is to learn how to activate the very 10 drives that make you most human. These drives are your desires for more control, competence, congruence, caring, connection, change, challenge, creative expression, contribution, and consciousness. These drives shape everything you think, feel, and do in life, so understanding and mastering them is critical to your success and happiness. Strategically activating these drives on a consistent basis is the fastest path to living a fully charged life.

科技時代中如何保持活動力?

拜現代科技的進步,我們長時間關注在電腦、手機、和電視等電子設備,並倚靠它們完成工作及生活上的大小事,因此,長期久坐、侷限的活動空間、和家事由機器代勞等原因,使得我們的日常活動力大幅下降,因而,產生身體抵抗力減低和肥胖等問題。Dr. Mike Evans 在影片中,介紹了可以透過有趣的 “Tweak the Week” 的方法來維持活動力,保持健康。

身體若要保持健康,那麼運動就不可少,但其實,運動並不一定要上健身房,只要稍微改變生活習慣,透過設計簡單的行為活動,例如:爬樓梯、騎單車、邊走邊開會、做家事、將車子停在較遠處等,也同樣能夠達到運動效果,進而維持身體活動力,保持健康。
