Other books: Tom Rath & Donald O Clifton

The book is a guide to strategies that can make life more meaningful. It is also about how a positive attitude during daily interactions makes one feel more empowered.

Don Clifton, a former teacher of psychology suffering from terminal cancer, has used simple examples from his 50 years of experience to illustrate how even a little motivation or compassion from a peer, relative or friend can leave a person feeling very happy. And how even brief indifference can make one feel depressed.

The grandfather-grandson duo have used simple analogies of "filling your bucket" (feeling positive), "dip from your bucket" (feeling negative) and "a drop for your bucket" (thanking one's contribution) to signify the making or breaking of one's career or domestic life.
