What if the biggest lever on the quality of your day, your mood and your relationships came down to one thing — the energy you choose to bring?

In this episode we break down The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon, the bestselling fable about a bloke at rock bottom who turns his life around after a chance encounter with a bus driver and her ten rules for living with positive energy. It's a simple story with a serious message: the energy you give out is the energy you get in return.

We get into what Gordon's ten rules actually look like in your own life — when you're trying to get out of a funk, build better habits, or just show up as a better version of yourself:

• ​You're the driver. Taking ownership of your direction and your focus instead of letting your circumstances steer.
• ​Fuel the ride. Gratitude, attitude and the daily habits that keep your tank full.
• ​Guard your energy. Spending less time with the people and thoughts that drain you, and more on the ones that lift you.
• ​Drive with purpose. Living with intent, looking after yourself, and actually enjoying the journey.

It ties straight back to the through-line of every book we've covered on the show — that fulfilment is built from the inside out. The energy you give out is the energy you get in return. Hop on.
