Elevate - Push Beyond Your Limits and Unlock Success in Yourself and Others

Some people just seem to be over achievers in many areas of their lives. These people have a knack for setting and achieving their goals with greater consistency than others. This books gives insight into at least some of the ways the you and I can build our capacity and achieve more than before.

In the first chapter, the framework is setup for the rest of the book. This is where the author states that there are four categories for human capacity.

  • Spiritual Capacity - Understanding who you are, what you want most, and the standards you want to live by each day.

  • Intellectual Capacity - How you improve your ability to think, learn, plan and execute with discipline.

  • Physical Capacity - Health, well-being, and physical performance

  • Emotional Capacity - How you react to challenging situations, your emotional mindset, and the quality of your relationships.

A primary principle is the importance of building capacity in all four areas together.

One particular note is that for the purpose of this book, the term “Spiritual” is not meant in the context of religion or things that are intangible. It is meant to be more focused on the vision, mission, and corporate culture.

Each of the four capacities gets its own chapter and Robert Glazer leads the reader through ways to build on each. Building on each of these capacities is a great way to simplify and focus on growth to help all of us achieve goals we may have otherwise believed to be unreachable.

I believe you will find the information easy to understand and implement into your own lives. Check it out of yourself and let me know about your experience.
