The book winds up with "Five Strategies for Increasing Positive Emotions".
* Strategy 1 (Prevent Bucket Dipping): This can be achieved by becoming conscious, by always asking "Am I adding or dipping?", by preventing dipping, by positively influencing people around and by avoiding persistently negative people. They also urge readers to keep score and provide a worksheet on their site.
* Strategy 2 (Shine a Light on What is Right): This can be achieved on by focusing on what's right instead of what's wrong. Help others to feel positive and acknowledge others when they fill your bucket. The website also has a "Positive Impact Test" to assess the current level of positive impact as well as to monitor the improvements.
* Strategy 3 (Make Best Friends): This can be achieved by making best friends at work or outside.
* Strategy 4 (Give Unexpectedly): People prefer unexpected gifts as it has an element of surprise. It does not have to be an expensive or tangible gift (like trust and responsibility). Seek chances to give.
* Strategy 5 (Reverse the Golden Rule): Reverse the golden rule of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" into "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them". Read carefully, you'll get it.
Finally, notice the changes after a period of time. The workplace should be more productive and fun. On a personal front, the relationships with family, friends and self should also improve.
Go ahead, fill a bucket today.

"A well-researched, strong, and compelling case for improving self-esteem, better relationships, and health... this book is a short, sharp, 'how-to' guide." |
Joseph (MSL quote) , USA

The 'bucket book' is a good little book. This whole book focuses on being more positive than negative. Sounds easy right? Probably because it is if you try. Gallup, specifically Tom Rath and Don Clifton have put together a workable theory that states you need to try and have 5 positive interactions with people you meet before you have 1 negative thing to say. They cite research that shows most marriages will fail if the ratio of positive to negative is not better than 1 to 1. So, keep it positive, and life will be better. A simple and important concept. |

I am usually a positive person, but this book made me examine how even the little things I say and do make an impact on people. The book has concise, heartwarming examples and left my bucket overflowing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a more fulfilling and rich life. I truly enjoyed it. |

I liked this book a lot. I think it has pretty insightful strategies. I also liked the fact it had some strong research component. After reading this book I find myself thinking " Am I dipping from or adding to the buckets of my family/friends when I interact with them. For me, I guess, it is a good way to remember that every interaction does have quite an impact on us and those around us. I did not realize that this impact could be so strong until I read this book. I recommend it. |
