This book talks about the story of George, beginning with his terrible daily life. But one day, he meets a bus driver, which helps him get out of trouble situation in the energy bus. During the conversation with the bus driver, George obtains ten rules for the ride of life. Some I found out interesting and helpful are: you’re the driver of your bus; don’t waste your energy on those who don’t get on your bus; love your passengers; have fun and enjoy your ride. I found these rules helpful for people in all age and all period. Since the author explains these rules with vivid stories on George, I have a lot of fun with the story to understand the rules rather than just cliché principles. Thus, it is so easy to read that I finished it up in one night!
