■ The Big Idea
We all face challenges. Each and every single person, organization, company, and team has to deal with negativity and adversity. No one goes through life untested. To overcome all these tests we need positive energy, the kind of energy that consists of the vision, trust, enthusiasm and purpose that defines true leaders.

The Energy Bus presents an action plan to develop positive energy that can fuel one’s own life and channel this energy to what one does at work and to one’s coworkers as well.

In The Energy Bus, author Jon Gordon provides readers with ten basic, simple secrets that aim to empower them to approach life and work with positive, forward thinking to lead to true accomplishment. These are powerful plans to overcome obstacles both at work and at home and bring out the best in both the reader him- or herself and his or her team.
