  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;How did you feel after your last interaction with another person? Did that person &amp;#8212; your spouse, best friend, coworker, or even a stranger &amp;#8212; &quot;fill your bucket&quot; by making you feel more positive? Or did that person &quot;dip from your bucket,&quot; leaving you more negative than before? The number one New York Times and number one Business Week bestseller, &lt;i&gt;How Full Is Your Bucket?&lt;/i&gt; reveals how even the briefest interactions affect your relationships, productivity, health, and longevity. Organized around a simple metaphor of a dipper and a bucket, and grounded in 50 years of research, this book will show you how to greatly increase the positive moments in your work and your life &amp;#8212; while reducing the negative. Filled with discoveries, powerful strategies, and engaging stories, &lt;i&gt;How Full Is Your Bucket?&lt;/i&gt; is sure to inspire lasting changes and has all the makings of a timeless classic.&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>
