Impact

I'm not typically a big book reader, but recently for my team, we were required to read a book called "The Energy Bus." It tells the story of George, who has a bad attitude about life, and as a result, his work, relationships, and his own mental health are being affected. It takes one flat tire for George to have to send his car to the shop, later to find out it needs more work done on it. Therefore, George must now take the dreaded bus to work. Little does he know, however, that this bus will change his life. The bus driver, named Joy, goes through the "Ten Rules for the Ride of Your Life," throughout the book.

With time, the story shows George's development as a person and his improved life situation as a result. He becomes excited to ride the bus everyday, where more people come on everyday and Joy changes their life too.

This book has left a big impact on me because it demonstrates just how important mindset and a positive attitude can be. Positive energy is contagious, and I think that it is a great way to carry yourself everyday, not only for the benefit of yourself, but others. Below I put the rules that Joy lists throughout the book :)
