  • Not worth reading

    The author could have just created a 1-page list of rules without writing 150-page book about George who rides on the bus and talks to the driver and the passengers. Would not recommend
  • Positively Inviting!

    The Energy Bus is a must read even if all you’re craving is positive influence. I very much enjoyed the story that was used to incorporate and teach about each principle. I would definitely recommend to anyone. I even bought a copy for my mother.

    This book was just what I needed! You don’t realize the impact others can have in you when you allow their negativity get to you. Absolutely recommend!
  • Excellent Lessons

    This book has taught so much about the energy we give off. Energy is neither produced nor loss, but only transferred, per the laws of physics. So that means the energy from this book can only help channel the energy within each of us for good or bad, but this book has definitely encouraged the good direction! This was a book that was very difficult to put down. It pulled me in immediately and I wanted to keep reading. I definitely recommended this book!
  • A very inspiring read

    I was given the optional task of reading this at work and I was not disappointed. While there were aspects of positivity that I knew about, there were other parts that I did not realize were factors. Combine that with an outside source telling you how things are instead of it swirling around in your own head and you have a truly inspiring read. Definitely a fan!

    I read this book during the COVID-19 outbreak as a way to get back into reading books, something I had done a ton of during my time in college. This book was a GREAT start to that! The 10 rules are definitely ones I can start applying to my life right now even in the midst of uncertainty about my future and where it’s headed.

    This book came recommended to me by a coach, and it definitely did not disappoint. The book will help you come to realize you often can be your own worst enemy. Absolutely love the positivity it encourages and believe that it would be an awesome book for a team or coaching staff to read.

    As I began this book I wasn’t sure what to expect. As I got about a third of the way through I started to realize how negative I have been throughout my life. This book has opened my eyes to so many things in my life that I have begun to change for the better. I have recommended this to fellow coworkers including my boss and also family members that need this encouragement to make the change they need personally and professionally.

    If you need a change in your life you should read this book. I’ll never be able to capture enough emotion in words to explain it. Just read it. Easy read and very applicable. Thanks John Gordon.

    I was recommended to this book by my formal supervisor. After a life changing event, I did get the this book until a year later from the time of recommendation. As I was reading the book, I saw that I know something but I quit doing them. But I also learn many new and useful steps too. Overall, this book reawaken me. I was little or just like George in the book. Thank you for this great book. I have started making posters of the all 10 rules to have at home and work.
