"A quick read that picks you up and reminds you the power of seeing the "glass half-full". I must admit my natural tendency is to see the glass half empty...I also have the ability to see the cracks in the glass that might be causing a slow leak. To make a long story short, these books are written for people like me. Although some of the book gets repetitive the first couple of chapters were excellent, and makes it worth the read."
"This was a very quick read. The concept of encouraging is pretty basic, but it gives help hints for how to individualize your encouragement. Overall, I think our bucket becomes full from more than just encouragement--though that is an important part.
If you need some helpful hints on how to encourage co-workers or data on why encouragement in the workplace is important, this book would be helpful."
"I had to read this for class but it was pretty good. An interesting study of positive vs. negative thinking, management, and communication. A must-read for all the people on your family Christmas list. :)"
"It's a good idea, of course: We all have a "bucket" inside of us, and each time we interact with other people we are adding to their bucket or taking away from it. It talks about how we should have the goal of having each interaction with people be positive, filling their bucket.
However, the book was mostly about how bad it is to be negative with people, and how great it is to be positive, without actually giving any concrete ideas on how to do so.
So I much prefer "The Celestine Prophesy" (which talks about the positive or negative transfer of energy between people) or I've also been recommended "How to win friends and influence people." Maybe I'll read that next."
