Kirk’s Daily Picks –
Don’t be the energy vampire…
The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon is a quick, upbeat read that reminds you how much your mindset drives everything you do. Gordon tells the story through a simple parable, which makes the lessons easy to absorb without feeling preachy. The book pushes you to take ownership of your attitude, protect your energy, and surround yourself with people who push in the same direction. It’s practical, encouraging, and a good reset when you feel stuck or drained. Even if you’ve heard some of the ideas before, the way he frames them makes you want to actually put them into play.

How to really stay motivated
Quick read and a beautifully organized story on how to get your mojo back, so to speak. A lot is underestimated in one’s own enthusiasm and passion from the heart. Keeping that in focus means you’ll have a lot less days over time that feel unmotivating.
Patricia –
Good read
Very inspiring and eye opening.
S. Frazelle –
Great start but corporate ending
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 🙂

Just what the doctor ordered!
While there’s nothing mind-blowing or “new” so to speak in Gordon’s now classic “The Energy Bus”, it is a great boost for your batteries. The fable/story format gets you invested in George’s journey right off the bat. The quirky cast of characters on the bus are fun and drop some serious energy wisdom. Great pick me up!
Scotty –
Fun Bus
Great read! Definitely recommend!
Maureen Moore –
Quick, simple yet extremely executed
Oliver Gehrmann –
The book doesn’t seem to take itself too seriously, illustrating some points by introducing a children’s book as an important piece of the puzzle our protagonist is trying to solve.It also doesn’t go into great detail how he’s solving some of the problems that he is facing in his marriage, which could have helped making it slightly more exciting to read.That’s a little nitpicky, though, as there are many upsides to this book. You can read it in only a few hours time and you actually do feel energized following George on his little journey.I have read a number of books that have tackled a similar subject matter, so truth be told, I can’t tell how well it’s getting the point across for a reader that hadn’t been introduced to many of the ideas presented in this book, but in any case, I still consider it a highly recommended read.
