Praise for THE ENERGY BUS "Jon's book The Energy Bus and his talk to our team have been very useful tools in helping us build a positive team and culture where our players overcome negativity and challenges to perform at their highest potential." —Mike Smith, Head Coach of the Atlanta Falcons "Given the challenges and adversity we face in business and life today, Jon Gordon provides a clear road map to navigate the negativity and pitfalls that too often sabotage individual and team success as he shines a light on the truths that define great leaders, great teams, and great energy. I especially loved the part about leading with purpose. I consider this a valuable book for anyone looking to bring out the best in themselves and their team." —Tom Gegax, founder of Tires Plus "Purpose, vision, enthusiasm, and spirit are all critical elements for individual and team success.

Get on the bus and enjoy the ride." —Pat Williams, Senior Vice President of the NBA's Orlando Magic "The world would be a much better place if we all focused on being positive. Gordon is 'the Pastor of Positive Energy' and I'm one of his believers." —Danny Gans, Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year "Gordon so inspired our sales professionals with his positive energy that they were asking for more. Now, here is his philosophy in a book we can read and quote—and we will!" —Linda H. Sherrer, President and CEO of Prudential Network Realty
