These examples show the damage that negativity (bucket emptying) can do in the workplace, and how just some small praise or compliment can make things seem much brighter. Again, the examples could be anyone, in any situation, so they are appealing and understandable to the reader, helping to make the most important points in the book stick in the mind. The book also applies to school, family life, and personal lives, so the reader can get more than one result from reading this book and then applying its principles.
Perhaps the best part of this book is not the personal examples, which can be very motivating, but the strategies the authors include to help the reader become more positive and "fill other people's buckets."

In conclusion, while this book seems to be much like any of a million other self-help books on the market, it does make some valid points, and it does offer the reader some valuable tips to change their lives and the lives of others. It can apply to just about any situation, and it is relatively easy to implement the suggestions into work and home life. I would recommend this book to other readers, simply because it has many tools that could help become happier and more productive, and that can never be a bad thing.

Death and Dying Death is a pretty extreme event in someone's life; one that everyone must endure. We all know it is coming one day, but most of us take it for granted as we go about our daily lives.
