    " I can’t believe anyone would give this less than 5 stars. This is the best book I’ve listened to or read in ages. This will sit along side some of the greats like Rich Dad Poor Dad and Richest Man In Babylon. Easy reads and full of inspiration. And not boring like a bunch of other books. Great story telling and just what I needed as I sit on the beach and refresh my spirit. "

    " In Jon Gordon's 'The Energy Bus' he captures the essence of how our attitude will ultimately direct our destiny. This fun loving story is full of wisdom, charm and a refreshing sense of what is possible if one will merely look to themselves and ask the question 'How will I choose to respond to life's challenges.'
