The Energy Bus

Short, motivating book using a relatable narrative to inspire readers to take charge of their lives. I liked it. There is a summary or guide in the back for driving your own energy bus. Advice in this book is not new, but the delivery might help people who relate better to stories than ‘advice straight up.'

PHYSICAL BOOK.

I previously listened to part of this audiobook a few years ago. The book is great! I love the ‘rules' for running for life. No energy vampires is my favorite. Better for someone who manages a small team, but still good life principles.

I like this little book. It was a nice story. Man gets on a bus. Man is not doing well in his job or his marriage or with his kids. Bus driver senses this and takes man on as a project. Man gets better.

How is this job useful for classroom teachers? It seems to be sweeping the schools. In particular, I'm curious about the whole idea of Energy Vampires and Kicking Energy Vampires Off the Bus. Would admin be advocating removal of students who do not complete required work from classrooms? Somehow, I don't think so. If you kick a student off your Energy Bus, I'm afraid that would mean a Child Left Behind. Right? ;->

Yes, I'm being snarky. Again.

Let's just say it is a lovely book if you don't think about it too much or look at its guiding principles too closely.
