Review

‘…there is some great stuff in this book – good ideas, pithy quotes and punchy one-liners which invite you to write them down and recall them at the appropriate time.’ (Edge, May 2007)

From the Inside Flap

It's Monday morning and George walks out of the front door to his car and a flat tire. But this is the least of his problems. His home life is in shambles and his team at work is in disarray. With a big new product launch coming in two weeks for the NRG-2000, he has to find a way to get it together or risk losing his marriage and job. Forced to take the bus to work, George meets a unique kind of bus driver and an interesting cast of characters who, over the course of two weeks, share the ten rules for the ride of his life. In the process, they help him turn around his work and life, saving his job and marriage from destruction.

The Energy Bus, an international bestseller, takes readers on an enlightening and inspiring ride that reveals ten secrets for approaching life and work with the kind of positive, forward thinking that leads to true accomplishment—at work and at home.

Everyone faces challenges. And every person, organization, company, and team has to overcome negativity and adversity to define themselves and create their success. No one goes through life untested and the answer to these tests is positive energy—the kind of positive energy that consists of the vision, trust, optimism, enthusiasm, purpose, and spirit that defines great leaders and their dreams.

Drawing upon his experience and work with thousands of leaders, sales professionals, teams, nonprofit organizations, schools, and athletes, Gordon infuses this engaging story with keen insights, actionable strategies, and a big dose of positive infectious energy.

For managers and team leaders or anyone looking to turn negative energy into positive achievement, The Energy Bus provides a powerful plan for overcoming common life and work obstacles and bringing out the best in yourself and your team. When you get on The Energy Bus, you'll enjoy the ride of your life.

Awesome book! Love thinking about the hum drum days ...

ByWyoming Book Loveron October 10, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Awesome book! Love thinking about the hum drum days & how to inspire ourselves and others. A cute story of inspiration and kindness. Love it. A very thoughtful book. Makes you think about your life and the way you are portrayed to others. Makes one think about how much energy we put in, is what we get back, and giving to others creates a climate of kindness. We can only control ourselves, not others, and this has practical tips to review to have a great life. One to read several times. A great, classic book.

Life changing!

ByHawkeyeon May 29, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Read this book from cover to cover as soon as it came in! Couldn't put it down! Jon's writing is powerful. I was so moved by the principles of this book I started implementing them into my life and my classroom (I'm a teacher and Coach). I even decided to do a summer school class on it! Seriously, if your looking for some positivity, or something to help, this is it! I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Stay positive yo!

ByCaleb Simpsonon December 12, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

While I love Jon Gordon's teaching this book wasn't all it was hyped up to be. I did come away inspired and learned a lot...especially about positive mindset. I just had a hard time with all the made up "stories." Biggest take away from this book for me was to always remain positive. It has had a significant impact on me. The only reason I didn't give the book 3-4 stars was the fictional story telling angle it took. Other than that, great book and you will certainly leave inspired to be positive and inspire others towards positivity as well.

Great start but corporate ending

ByS. Frazelleon October 18, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really, really loved the beginning of this book - like brought me to tears with how close to home it felt. I was traveling on business and even called home to tell my partner that we should read it together. The beginning of the book encompassed LIFE struggles - work and marriage and kids, the struggle between it and how negativity slowly kills us and our relationships. Great tips and words of wisdom in that part. Then about midway through the "rules," it shifts and narrows in only on the leadership aspect, with only a few references/advice for positivity in the family realm or what to do if you can't kick people off the bus. I wish it had kept that beginning momentum and feel the whole way through. That said, though, even the first half is worthy of a good read through.

It would totally be 5 stars to me if the ending hadn't been so corporate/work focused. There was also a checklist in the back which, at least for me, makes things feel contrived (steps for a "courageous conversation" anyone?). The author does a good job talking throughout the book about being genuine with each rule, but every time I see someone create a checklist it seems to open the door for a change in words rather than the necessary change in heart. The "said some encouraging fluff to my colleague and didn't word my discontent as a complaint. - CHECK!" mentality is never really enough to change a climate. So although he does a nice job addressing this throughout the reading, I hesitate to bring the checklist to the team I lead at work, and even more so to my family, for fear it will become, "but I gave you a complement, you should be fine!"

...possibly too many years of growing up with a psychologist parent in my younger years - choose to ignore this negative wolf if these methods work for your context. I think it's worth it to read the book, it's a good story, regardless, and only around $10 on Amazon Kindle so you can read it on your own bus to work :)

Get on the BUS!

ByAnonymouson July 18, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you. As a small business owner I spend much of my free time reading business books. While browsing the selection online, I stumbled across your book "The Energy Bus". Despite the fact that I had vaguely heard of the book before this time I felt inspired to purchase it and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did.
I wish I could say I blew through the book in an hour but unfortunately with a job, a business, wife, two young kids and a dog, trying to find more than ten minutes to read at a time can be a challenge. Reading it slowly gave me more time to ponder the ideas and really enjoy the story.
The minute I finished the book I could not wait to share it with everyone I know but I especially wanted to share it my wife/business partner first. She too loves to read business books but as a true workaholic she struggles even more than I do to find the time. Fortunately we had a long weekend in Key West planned so I was optimistic that she would be able to find the time to do some reading. Plus I was confident that once she started the book she wouldn't be able to put it down. Despite my encouraging "get on the bus" chant all weekend long, boats, bars and beaches got the best of us and no reading was accomplished.
In an unusual event for our family my wife offered to drive the first leg of the trip home, in 20 plus years together, her driving hasn't happened more than a dozen times. Well with the car loaded up with luggage, my in laws, two daughters and wife behind the wheel we started our 4 hour trip home.
On a lark I picked up "The Energy Bus" and began to read out loud, whole expediting to be told to be quite and put the radio on before I got through the first chapter. To my surprise not only was I not told to stop but I was not allowed to stop. The four passengers each took turns reading chapters aloud. My eight year old daughter loved reading the rules aloud and my golf loving father in law took the one good golf shot chapter to heart. The trip flew by and by the time we arrived home there were three pages left in the book. We all ran into the house to finish it.
I have read many great books in my life but never have I ever experienced anything like that trip home. To bond with my family over your book was the highlight of my vacation and something I will never forget.
I apologize if this incredibly long letter has rambled on for too long but I just wanted you to know what a profound affect and great experience your work provided.
thank you

Just okay - I like the positive feel but kind of childishly written.

Fun concept especially when put into action

ByDana Martinsonon March 16, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I had so much fun implementing some of the rules in this book. I even got together with some amazing people to keep the energy positive and flowing. My team and I have enjoyed coming together. And the good vibes we bring rub off on those around us as well.
