The Books.
A framework for every area of life. One book at a time.
The Energy Experiment Program is expressed through a series of books — each one applying the same framework to a specific domain of human experience. Read the Foundation first to establish the language and the lens. Then follow the series into whichever area of your life is asking for the most attention right now.
Each book stands alone. Together they form something larger.
The Energy Experiment Series · Book 1
The Energy Experiment: Foundation
The book that starts it all.
The Energy Experiment: Foundation is the first experiment — on personal human energy. It establishes the framework, the language and the thinking that underpins the entire series. The core premise: you must understand and work with your own energy first before you can work effectively with the energy of anything else.
This is not a book about doing more. It is a book about understanding what is actually driving your experience — and learning to work with that understanding deliberately.
Grounded in three decades of research and practice in performance psychology, the Foundation text introduces the Expend · Manage · Renew cycle and applies it across the full range of human experience. It is designed to be read as a standalone work or as the starting point for the full series.
What you will find inside
The core Energy Experiment framework, explained from the ground up
The Expend · Manage · Renew cycle and how it operates in daily life
An introduction to the six human energy domains
Practical tools and reflection exercises throughout
The foundation for everything that follows in the series
The Energy Experiment: Foundation is currently in final editing and will be available shortly.
The Energy Experiment Series.
Each book in the series takes the Energy Experiment framework into a specific topic of life — examining how energy operates there, what shapes it, and what becomes possible when you start working with it more deliberately.
Read the Foundation first. Then read in any order.
Energy shows up everywhere.
The six core books address the domains where most of us feel its presence most keenly — but the framework does not stop there. Future titles in the Energy Experiment series will explore the role of energy in areas as varied as pets, music, creativity and more.
If there is a topic of life you would like to see explored through the Energy Experiment lens, I would love to hear from you.

Book 2 · The Energy Experiment: Money Our relationship with money is rarely just financial. It is shaped by beliefs, experiences, patterns and emotions — forces that operate largely beneath our conscious awareness. This book applies the Energy Experiment framework to the financial domain, examining what is actually driving your experience of money and how to begin working with it differently. Forthcoming
Book 3 · The Energy Experiment: Relationships Every significant relationship involves an energetic exchange — what we bring, what we absorb, what sustains us and what costs us. This book explores the energetic dynamics of our most important connections, and offers a framework for understanding and navigating them with greater clarity and intention. Forthcoming
Book 4 · The Energy Experiment: Workplace Professional environments have their own energetic logic. This book examines how energy operates in the workplace — for individuals managing their own performance and wellbeing, and for teams and leaders navigating the invisible forces that determine whether an organisation lifts or drains the people within it. Forthcoming
Book 5 · The Energy Experiment: Home Your home is not a neutral space. It holds history, carries atmosphere and shapes the quality of everything that happens within it. This book explores the home as an energetic environment — and what it means to work with that environment deliberately. Forthcoming
Book 6 · The Energy Experiment: Disruption Life transitions and change test every energy resource we have. This book is a practical and deeply considered guide to sustaining yourself through the seasons that demand the most and finding your way back to steadiness on the other side. Forthcoming
The books and the workshops work together.
The Energy Experiment started as Leigh's own personal energy management plan and was then developed into a structured resilience session. The Energy Experiment workshops have grown from these two foundations. If you want to explore the Foundation material in a live, guided setting for your organisation or team, the workshops are designed to do exactly that.
