Positive, Inspirational and Uplifting

This is a great book to give to anyone who needs a "boost".

All too often we focus on the things that are wrong with others - this book challenges us to focus on the things that are right.

Pick a page from this book at random each day and read it. I bet you can stop at just one.

A Must Read

Someone loaned this book to me to read & I knew it was just one of those books I needed to have. It's an easy weekend read. Great book to loan out to others or to give as a gift.

Great book for recognition programs

This is a great book to help any manager understand the importance of recognition both to their peers and to the people they manage. The philosophy of adding to or taking away from one's bucket and hence their esteem adds a whole new importance to thinking about how you act in situations. With so many people leaving jobs because of how they are treated, the book brings an honest reality to exactly how this happens, and gives great insight into why we need to be sure our actions are constantly giving value to other people. I gave it out to a group of leaders as part of a recognition training, and two of them said not only did they rethink their actions in their departments, they also began to rethink their actions at home, and it made a difference in personal relationships. Plus, there's an online way to give drops, which makes it even easier to let someone know you saw or noticed they did something great, and they have a tangible piece of recognition to have and display. A terrific book all the way around.

Meaninful and understanding

This book brought my faculty and staff together in a way no other communication has. It helped peers recognize they also need to tell one another they were appreciated , not only to hear it from the administration.

Good - but strong workplace orientation

The concept behind this book is good - focusing on the positives in your interactions with others. I was disappointed by the heavy focus on office interactions (which is fine, just didn't happen to suit why I bought the book). Also disappointed by the lack of depth. Not including the intro and epilogue, book is less than 100 pages with very large type and margins. That includes over a dozen pages with a graphic of a bucket with a single quote inside. Good news/bad news - you can read and get all of the content in under an hour. Certainly not worth the full retail price, questionable even at Amazon's discounted price. I gave it 3 stars because the concept is good and I got some worthwhile tips, but this felt more like a pamphlet that a motivational company would use as a giveaway rather than a book. HOWEVER, If my work team were having interpersonal issues, I might very well give this 5 stars for providing a good discussion foundation in a group setting.
