Product Description
How did you feel after your last interaction with another person? Did that person — your spouse, best friend, coworker, or even a stranger — "fill your bucket" by making you feel more positive? Or did that person "dip from your bucket," leaving you more negative than before? The number one New York Times and number one Business Week bestseller, How Full Is Your Bucket? reveals how even the briefest interactions affect your relationships, productivity, health, and longevity. Organized around a simple metaphor of a dipper and a bucket, and grounded in 50 years of research, this book will show you how to greatly increase the positive moments in your work and your life — while reducing the negative. Filled with discoveries, powerful strategies, and engaging stories, How Full Is Your Bucket? is sure to inspire lasting changes and has all the makings of a timeless classic.

Everyone in Business Should Read This Book March 25, 2008
The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know EverythingI had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Rath on my radio show a few years ago, The Enchanted Self. I was very impressed with his dedication to positive psychology. As a pathfinder myself in the field, but soming from a completely different place (my path began with insight oriented psychotherapy, feminist issues and then case study research with women) I was intrigued by the business model presented in this book. It makes so much sense. Of course people will perform better at work if they are praised and encouraged to develop their strengths and talents! Of course people will have more hope and be more productive. Why wouldn't all companies use the techniques that the authors suggest? This may be an easy read, but it is not superficial. The techniques and approaches outlined are rigourous in that they force people to change personal habits, ways of viewing each other, and ways of interacting. But I can only imagine our world if everyone out in the workplace would take on the major steps outlined in this book. I think we would all benefit. We would have happier employers and employees who knows what that would lead to. Maybe happier families at home and a more productive work place. Wouldn't that be a win-win!

If you fill someone else's bucket with positive energy, words and praise, it fills yours in return. It is a nice approach and it definitely works. Mr. Rath did not reinvent the wheel here. However he did write a good book that is pleasant to read and it is empowering. The only problem that I have with this book is that I found it too expensive considering how thin it is. Otherwise, it is well worth your time. Go for it. I also suggest another great reading titled Power Versus Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior
 Corny February 19, 2008
Man, this book was really corny. The worse part was that about 20 people in my office read this as part of a lunch time "book club." I can sum up the book in this sentence.
Be nice to people or else they will feel bad and not work as hard.
