What was so interesting about this book was that it took an unconventional approach to psychology and why we are the way we are. This psychologist asked, “Why do we need to look at our past to figure out our futures? It doesn’t have to be that complicated.”
It is life experiences and personal interactions that determine your attitude – positive or negative. Filling your bucket means you are positive to yourself and to others. Emptying your bucket means either you are negative (to yourself or someone else), or someone is negative to you. It’s the pay it forward idea, that positivity is exponential. Simply, be positive towards yourself and others (be a bucket filler!) to live a fulfilling life. I like how empowering this idea is. This is a great read!
