The Power of When

Learn the Best Time to do Everything




Learn the best time to do everything - from drink your coffee to take a run, ask for a raise, eat lunch, make a deal, have sex or go to bed - according to your body's chronotype.

The latest research shows that there is a right time for all of us to do everything, from drinking a cocktail to getting a flu shot. The catch? That 'right time' varies from person to person. Fortunately, as Dr Michael Breus proves in The Power of When, learning to work with your body clock to achieve maximum health and productivity is easy, exciting and fun. When we stop focusing on the 'how' and 'what' of our lives and start focusing on the 'when', we reveal our body's natural schedule and unlock our hidden potential.

In The Power of When, Dr Breus presents a groundbreaking new programme based on the most cutting-edge research for how to get back in sync with your body's natural rhythm. Filled with fascinating facts, true-life success stories, fun personality quizzes and easy to follow guidelines, The Power of When will teach you how to not only understand your own body clock, but the body clocks of everyone around you. After you've taken Dr Breus's comprehensive chronotype (body clock) quiz (are you a bear, a lion, a dolphin, or a wolf?) you'll learn to schedule your day for peak productivity and well-being.

Whether you are interested in the nitty gritty of body clock research or just want to follow the big-picture plan and learn how to be your best, The Power of When promises to help you achieve your goals.
