Following find an interview with author Kevin Bambrough.
What is the name of the book and when was it published?
The book is The Energetic Investor, published on May 27, 2025
What’s the book’s first line?
“There was a time in my life when I thought I had it all figured out.” Spoiler alert…I didn’t!
What’s the book about? Give us the pitch.
The Energetic Investor blends cutting-edge science, personal experience, and actionable strategies to help readers optimize their lives. It provides a roadmap for managing energy holistically by exploring the interconnectedness of mind, body, and finance. Through a structured framework of Discover, Diagnose, and Deploy, the book dives into practical tools inspired by psychology, neuroscience, biology, and ancient wisdom. It teaches readers how to align conscious goals with cellular intelligence and transform their systems biology into a source of clarity, focus, and motivation. This book is not just an exploration of energy management but a comprehensive guide for building a balanced, purposeful life. It’s an operating manual for the biological supercomputer that is the human being.
What inspired you to write the book?
The inspiration for The Energetic Investor emerged from a personal experience of burnout and reevaluation after climbing the corporate ladder in finance. Despite professional success, I realized I was not just physically and emotionally drained. I was metabolically broken. This led me to investigate the question: how can one create sustainable personal growth while balancing everything modern life demands? My own transformation through understanding energy management, cellular health, and disciplined habits inspired me to write this book and share what I learned from neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and even market principles.
What’s the main reason someone should really read this book?
It’s a revolutionary book about achieving peak performance with the biopsychology of investing in yourself. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or unsure of how to channel your energy effectively, this book is for you. The Energetic Investor equips readers with tools to optimize their day-to-day lives without sacrificing health or happiness. By applying its principles, you can unlock hidden reserves of motivation, achieve clarity in decision-making, and build unstoppable momentum that leads not just to professional success but also personal fulfillment. It’s a roadmap to building your own unique high performance lifestyle by falling in love with one new habit at a time.
When did you first decide to become an author?
I’ve always been drawn to storytelling, but I didn’t decide to write this book until I experienced firsthand how powerful the principles I learned were in transforming my own life. Writing this book felt like the natural next chapter to give back and document those lessons. The inspiration came after a personal trauma that left me not just understanding epigenetics but feeling the effect of their changes. It was an epiphany about the biopsychology of epiphanies. How to generate them and transform.
Is this the first book you’ve written?
Yes, The Energetic Investor is my first book, though I’ve written as part of my profession for years, including reports, presentations, and thought leadership pieces in the finance world.
What do you do for work when you’re not writing?
For over a decade, I’ve been solely focused managing my own investment portfolio and researching mental health and longevity. Energetic Media is my new venture where I share what I’ve learned about investing in ones own mind, body, and portfolio.
How much time do you generally spend on your writing?
Initially, writing became a part of my daily habits. I spent a few focused hours every morning working on chapters, refining ideas, or conducting research. I’ve always been a voracious reader and researcher, so the biggest challenge I have is to stop myself and balance the need for physical exercise with my cravings to do deeper and deeper in research.
What’s the best and the hardest part of being indie?
The best part is the creative freedom. I had complete control over my narrative and how I wanted it to reach people. The hardest part was navigating the marketing and distribution process, ensuring the book reached those who needed it most without the infrastructure a traditional publisher offers.
What’s a great piece of advice that you can share with fellow indie authors?
Your story is more valuable than you think. Don’t hold back on sharing personal experiences. Make sure your writing comes from a place of authenticity because readers can always tell when writing lacks heart. Additionally, invest time in understanding your audience and how they’ll benefit from your book. Writing is about giving, so be as generous as possible and you’ll be rewarded.
Would you go traditional if a publisher came calling? If so, why?
I’d consider it if the partnership aligned with my vision for future projects. Traditional publishing could offer wider distribution channels and additional resources, but only if it complemented my message and creative direction.
Is there something in particular that motivates you (fame? fortune?)
My biggest motivation is impact. My goal is to share knowledge that helps people improve their lives in meaningful ways. If my book inspires even one person to make a positive change, that’s more rewarding than anything else. After years of charity involvement, soul searching, and exhausting analysis (to the point of paralysis at times), I decided that the biggest problem is that society is made up of individuals that are exhausted and stressed. We collectively find ourselves worn down and exhausted. We default to the status quo instead of investing the time and energy to make better decisions. If I can help give people more energy and mental clarity, then the spin off benefits will appear everywhere. I want to help trigger a covitality spiral for the human race.
Which writer, living or dead, do you most admire?
Just like my favourite song, my answer depends on my mood, emotion, and the context. That said, I’m a huge fan of ancient wisdom, much of which wasn’t even written down by those who first contemplated the messages. So much of what we come to value is actually passed along through spoken words. Quotes and advice have been shared and preserved for thousands of years. I like to think that in some ways, we all have something to contribute to that ongoing conversation, even those that just listen and silently nod their approval and encouragement,
Which book do you wish you could have written?
The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama and Dr. Howard Cutler. The way the book blends biology with ancient philosophy is truly captivating, and the conversations with the Dalai Lama offer profound and precious insights. Getting access to interview people who have spend a lifetime mastering an area of interest is something I hope to achieve as I build out Energetic Media.
