One's spiritual/physical/mental health does affect how much energy one's ability to learn, one's energy level, and one's achievement levels in life.[2][3]
Jim Loehr, EdD., is a world-renowned performance psychologist and C-Suite Leadership Coach who has worked with hundreds of world-class performers from the arenas of sport, business, medicine and law enforcement, including Fortune 100 executives, FBI Hostage Rescue Teams, and military Special Forces.[4] Best-selling author Tim Ferris states concerning Jim Loehr: "From his more than 30 years of experience and applied research, Dr. Loehrbelieves the single most important factor in successful achievement, personal fulfillment, and life satisfaction is the strength of one’s character. He strongly contends that character strength can be built in the same way that muscle strength is built—through energy investment."[5]
