"It's Monday morning and George walks out 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 up in 2 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 set of characters (passengers) that over the course of 2 weeks share the 10 rules for the ride of his life...and attempt to help him turn around his work and team and save his job and marriage from an almost inevitable destruction."

Critic reviews

"If you want to fuel your family, your career, your team, and your organization with spirit, listen to this audio book.... Thanks, Jon, for pumping us up and making sure we get on the right bus." (Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and Leading at a Higher Level)

best book ever

at first when I started reading the book it was a little dry at first. As I read further into the book it started to get more interesting. I'm not much of a reader but this is by far the best book I have ever read for motivation purposes.

Feeling Inspired!

I absolutely love this book! I am a very positive person and I couldn't agree more with the 10 Rules. I have overcome a lot of adversity j in my life, but recently due to negativity in my personal life, I felt I was losing focus in all aspects of life. Hearing this story has given me the drive, desire and positive energy to start focusing on the good and ridding my life of the negativity so I can get back on track or in this instance the bus.

Worthwhile read

I was recommended this book by one of my coaches. It was actually a pretty good book. It wasn't preachy. It was breezy and entertaining with a lot of value in terms of life lessons included. I recommend it for people that would like to have some positivity injected into their lives and create their own as well.

Great Job

Great Book

This is the 2nd time I've listened to this book and I know I will again! I love Jon Gordon and I love The Energy Bus. Talk about motivation.

Great story to showcase great rules

Loved the story, it was short and very engaging, to share in creative and interesting way the "energy bus" rules for better performance, leadership and overall happiness.

For a Team

Read this with my team, and I cannot wait until we discuss it. Really is a good one, but more importantly I am going to be able to utilize what I've learned with my family.

Great audio

I must be the target audience. It is information I needed, will implement. I will listen a second time to ground myself in the concepts.
