A Note From the Publisher
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Volker Hack holds a PhD in sports medicine and has transitioned from a distinguished scientific career to various leadership roles in the pharmaceutical industry. His journey in self‑help began nearly three decades ago with his first personal development course. His first book, Boost, is a natural extension of that lifelong curiosity and personal transformation.

“Most of us don’t get serious about our energy until our bodies force the issue. Dr. Volker Hack offers a better path: a practical, humane system for boosting your energy, one small step at a time. If you keep reaching the end of the day with nothing left in the tank, you need to read Boost.” —Scott Eblin, author of Overworked and Overwhelmed and The Next Level
“Over the course of my leadership journey—building and leading global teams in complex, highly regulated environments—I have come to appreciate that sustained performance and meaningful impact are rooted not in intensity but in how we steward our energy and show up for others.

Latey, CEO, healthcare consultancy

“This is a wonderful and engaging read: never preachy, always grounded. Volker Hack offers practical, achievable recommendations punctuated with plenty of aha moments.

As I worked 24 x 7 to produce my first book, I spent many nights without much sleep, which has led to low energy that has persisted since its release.
Boost offered many helpful ideas about regaining energy and keeping my "well" filled so I can focus on writing my next book. Highly recommended!
