Over flowing buckets (West Chicago, IL United States) July 24, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars
How Full is Your Bucket? is a quick, but worthwhile read. The books
subtitle really says it all, positive strategies for Work and Life.
The
basic premise of the book is that each of us has as an invisible bucket.
It is emptied or filled by what others say and do to us. Likewise we empty
or fill the invisible buckets of others.
The book goes on to
give some examples of filling or emptying of buckets.
Next the book goes
on to list some practical strategies for filling buckets. They are as
follows:
1.
Prevent bucket dipping - ask yourself whether
you are adding to or taking from another bucket.
2. Shine a light
on what is right - don't focus on the negative, spend time, energy and
attention of what is right.
3. Make best friends - great
relationships lead to increased satisfaction
4. Give unexpectedly -
the gifts can be material, trust or respect, but given unexpectedly
increases their bucket filling power
5.
Reverse the Golden rule -
"Do unto others as they would have you do unto them".
The
book gives some unexpected gifts. In the back cover is a free id to allow
you to use the "Clifton" strengthfinder - so you can discover your
strengths.
Also there is five strategies wallet card and oh wait a minute
I don't want to ruin the unexpected gift factor.
This is a great book. Buy
some for friends and family.
