This book will help you gain clarity

By the end of this book, I had an epiphany that the most essential building blocks to success for anyone are 1) high quality sleep and 2) reflection. These are at the heart of absolutely everything else.

Without good, healthy sleep (for which Marisa provides a blueprint to identify and pursue) there's little chance of maintaining health of body and mind, which makes the rest moot, at least if you want to sustain any kind of performance for the long term.

Without the willingness and ability to reflect, we have no ability to improve, change or help others. And reflection doesn't always come easy. It requires space and time we don't always allow ourselves, and it requires us to remove distraction. Marisa offers a practical approach for this too.

Not to say these are the only things I got out of this book. Marisa provides hundreds of examples from her serious business experience at Capital One -- as well as the many CEOs she interviewed -- to help the reader use the many optimization tools she offers. She also shares deeply personal stories that so many will relate to. For me, these were the most powerful parts of the book and made what could have seemed like a professional development text book read more like an engaging story.

Also, Marisa is a pleasure to listen to.
