Chapters 21-30Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 21 Summary: “George Has a Dream”

Tuesday night, George has a dream in which he, his team, and his family are on a bus hurtling toward an abyss. At the last moment a hand lifts the bus to safety, and a voice says, “Trust that great things are happening” (89). George awakens feeling very calm.

Chapter 22 Summary: “Better Today Than Yesterday”

Wednesday morning at the bus stop, George reviews what happened at work on Tuesday, going over every detail, searching for moments where he and his team can improve their performance. Something is missing; something eludes him.

George remembers what his lacrosse coach told him: “The goal is not to be better than anyone else but rather be better than you were yesterday” (91-92). George pulls the rock that Joy gave him from his pocket and stares at it, wondering what value lies within it that he is supposed to discover.

Chapter 23 Summary: “Feeling Good”

As George enters the bus, Joy has the passengers chanting, “I feel great. Yes. I feel great. Yes. I feel great. Yes” (95). She explains that emotions can be charged up through expression, calling it “E-motion,” or “energy in motion” (95). She suggests that it’s better to get to work feeling happy and a bit silly than closed off and unhappy.
