The Energy Bus: 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work, and Team with Positive Energy by Jon Gordon

4.0

Billed as 10 Rules to Fuel Your Life, Work and Team with Positive Energy, this is a quick and easy book that is well worth the reader's time. My physical therapist recommended this book to me as I was recovering from a stress induced injury. The book is allegorical and introduces the "10 Rules" through a story about a guy who is totally stressed out and unhappy. His career, marriage and family are in shambles, but in two short weeks he transforms his life with ten simple rules given to him by Joy, the driver of the "Energy Bus" and her enthusiastic, happy, relaxed and worry-free passengers. Sounds a bit hokey - or maybe a lot hokey - and it is - but there were many things in this book that really spoke to me and my current life situation. Reading this book hasn't solved all of my problems, and I still worry and get stressed out, but what the book has done is give me simple strategies for keeping my attitude much more positive. As the book points out, people who are positive are happier, more productive, and more successful in careers, relationships and almost every aspect of life. That alone made this book worth reading and worth referring back to when I need an extra boost of positive energy.
