Description
Have you ever fantasised about getting sick? Not seriously, but just enough to justify a week in bed with no responsibilities?
You're not alone. And you're not broken. You're depleted.
In 2024, organisational psychologist and bestselling author Dr Amantha Imber hit rock bottom. Despite two decades of consulting to clients like Google, Apple and Disney on productivity and wellbeing, no colour-coded calendar system or morning routine could fix what was wrong. She was completely and utterly burnt out. Sound familiar?
Drawing on cutting-edge science and more than 50 research-backed challenges, The Energy Game gives you a system for rebuilding your vitality without a wellness retreat or life overhaul.
Discover your Energy Type, then choose your challenges:
- BOOST - Fast power-ups for when you're running low but still need to show up
- REST - Real recovery that rebuilds you while you're still living your life
- PROTECT - Smarter boundaries so you stop haemorrhaging energy before it's gone
Grounded in science, most challenges take just minutes. The energy you're after is closer than you think.
