About this audiobook

It's Monday morning and George walks out of the front door to his car and a flat tire. This is the least of his problems. His home life is in shambles and his team at work is in disarray. With a big product launch coming in two weeks, 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 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 listeners 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. Learn how to: build positive energy with vision, trust, optimism, enthusiasm, purpose, and spirit; turn negative energy into positive achievement; and overcome obstacles and bring out the best in yourself and your team.

For managers and team leaders or anyone looking to turn negative situations into positive outcomes, The Energy Bus provides a powerful plan for overcoming common life and work obstacles and bringing out the best in yourself and your team.

    This is the biggest pile of simplistic, pseudo-scientific psycho-babble I’ve had the misfortune to read. Poorly constructed narrative, ill-researched references. Surely this is a parody? It had me in hysterics, which I l’m certain isn’t the intention. Maybe I should never have attempted to catch the bus in the first place? “Feed the positive dog”, “chief energy officer”, and “god positioning systems” will live long in the memory, but maybe not for the right reasons. Dross.

    The way that this book was written was amazing! The story being told from a second person to first person perspective added so much to it. It changed my perspective on negative energy and gave me a whole new look on the way that I approach positive energy. It is definitely a book that I would recommend to anybody!

    The story of George was cute.The message is: Be Positive.What bugged me is everything - the book, the links; uses a picture of a school bus. An adult with car problems doesn't take a school bus. He takes a City or Metro bus, not a yellow school bus.

    The message is a good one in this short book, but it is a real shame that the editing (or lack thereof) is such a distraction. Wiley Publishing should be ashamed of themselves for the horrendous job they did... there's no excuse for the lack of commas (several passages could be used in the next "Eats Shoots and Leaves" edition) and very blatant errors throughout.

    Upbeat allegory through the story of a failing manager who happens upon an energetic bus driver and her team of passengers, which transforms his mindset. I heard nothing new here, but the telling is novel. It's a worthy and catchy reminder about adding positive energy to the mix, and leveraging it for success.

    V Cheesy and simple but necessary reminders. Good refresher of basic life principles. It's easy to get caught up in negative or stagnant energy and then wonder why Life is not going how we want it to go. This book simply explains that what to correct and how to correct it to live your best life.
