"I read this for work and I enjoy the reminder about the influence that I have on other people's days based on how I interact with them. The psyc major in me enjoyed taking the StrengthsFinder quiz. It was a very quick read. My only complaint is that I wish it gave me more specific tips on how to actually be more positive in my interactions with other people and how to deal with people who are constantly negative." — Jasmine (4 out of 5 stars)

" This book confirms everything we know about positive psychology and cites studies to back up the data, all in a clear, concise and quick read "
" Loved it!!! The title is corny but the content is a must read. "
" A quick and interesting read about how to help others buy "filling their bucket". I highly recommend this book as a way to remember to help and serve others in simple and meaningful ways. "
" good ideas, but I didn't like the book or maybe just the writing style "
" Bucket-filling should be common sense for everyone, but unfortunately we have many bucket-dippers in the world. Read this for work. "
" The general concept I rate a 5. The problem with the book is it does not get beyond the level of general concept, a few examples and lots of blank space on the pages. "
" Interesting look at happiness psychology and the need to keep a postive outlook on life. Provides good examples as well. "
" A MUST read by all to be happy for life and to help others be happy. "
" I really liked the book. There is also a young childrens version. We used this book at a faculty meeting with the childrens version. We are filling everyones bucket at work. Great for postive attitudes to use in a work or school situation. Even in the home with young kids. "
" Teaches the value of positive thinking and how it can effect others around you. Good book to help you speak positively and be more optimistic. "
" I hate this! Maybe because I could have written it. Maybe because it was a rally cry for my boss for a few months. I just did not care for the bucket book "
" Motivational. Definitely a good quick read. "
" Simple strategy that can make a big difference in the giver and givee's life! "
" A short book, but full of thought-provoking ideas and some interesting research about the power of positivity in work and other relationships. "
" I generally like this author's work, but I felt this book had very little substance or practical advice. "
" Everyone needs to have these positive strategies in their tool bag. "
" I read this for a book study we are doing at work. I hope it helps to increase the positive interactions by making everyone think about their interactions with their students and each other. "
" Although some of the principles of this book can be a bit obvious, I found it a really good refresher on staying positive and so inspirational I bought a number of copies and gave them out as gifts. "
" It was ok. I did't think there was anything terribly original in what was presented; however, I do think it was worth the read as we all need to stop and reflect from time to time. "
" Nothing particularly new or groundbreaking here. Still, a good reminder to be more conscious of the impact our interactions have on other people and more conscious of the effect the people we surround ourselves with are having on us. "
" This book is easy to read and a great reminder about how to treat people. I recommend it for new leaders/managers...and anyone who needs a reminder about how to interact in a meaningful way. "
" A simple book I built a workshop around for work. PMA -positive mental attitude rules. "
" Very quick read. Importance of being positive and filling people with positivity and some specific strategies for how to do it. "
" Really good book. Easy read. Lots of great ideas that are applicable for work and home "
" It was okay, some basic ideas reworked. A short read - no revelations. "
" While this book is extremely short, it has some good information, including study based conclusions. Great food for thought. Would love to see it applied to volunteer organizations and family life! "
" This book is motivational and provides practical ways to help become more positive and help others be more positive. This isn't just for managers - it's for anyone. "
" Be nice, treat people right. That is the basic message of this book. If you are a rude, mean spirited, selfish person you will drain the energy and livelihood of those around you. "
" All of us have an invisible "bucket" that is either filled or emptied throughout our life. We can make the choice to dip into others' buckets or help fill them. "
" I plan to use this with my staff. It is excellent. "
" Well written with a great message! Very quick read (I read it in an hour), but I'll be thinking about it for several days. "
" Probably one of the best "positive" books I've read in a long time. I bought it mainly for work but the concepts will easily be applied to my whole life with family and friends. If you want to make a change in yourself and your surroundings, read this book. "
" Yes, I'm reading this book with ladies at Dress for Success Memphis. It's a great leadership class with wonderful leader and guest speakers. "
" I read this for one of my grad school classes for management strategies, and it was surprisingly good. It was a fast read with interesting stories and concepts. Great for any walk of life, but I will use these tips in my job and in a future job in healthcare management. "
" I read this because my kids were reading the childs version at school and kept saying,"Thanks Mom you filled my bucket." I had no idea what they were talking about. It is a good pay it forward, super fast read. "
" Very motivational and applies to all areas of life. "
" A shot in the arm book full of all the research about the importance of positivity in the workplace. Duh... "
" I liked this. Neat way of looking at how everyday interactions effect people. I knew that how I deal with people effects them, but never thought about how when other peoples interactions effect me. "
" A little more substantive than some of the other pop motivation/biz books, but it also refined the "recognition for recognition's sake" culture applying common sense to it. "
" Received this book from work so I read it and think it sends a good message around the importance of being positive both personally in relationships with those around you. Short book too! The message equally applies in and out of the workplace. "
" Fast, easy read-- I love the idea of positive psychology having a place on the shelf of academic study now! "
