HOW FULL IS YOUR BUCKET? For Kids

by Tom Rath and Mary Reckmeyer
Gallup Press
April, 2009

New York Times bestselling author Tom Rath and early childhood expert Mary Reckmeyer bring the power of strengths psychology to the next generation in their new book, HOW FULL IS YOUR BUCKET? For Kids. The book, which will be published by Gallup Press in April, is an adaptation of Tom's bestseller for adults, How Full Is Your Bucket?, which was published five years ago and has more than half a million copies in print.

The Bucket books combine more than 50 years of research into the effects of strengths psychology with a long-told story at Gallup — the Theory of the Dipper and the Bucket. This simple metaphor suggests that each person has an invisible bucket of emotions, along with a dipper, which he or she can use to either add to other people's buckets or to dip from them. In the end, research shows that filling someone else's bucket benefits both parties — the person who gave the praise and the person who received it.

In the new book, young Felix learns that everyone has an invisible bucket that is emptied when feelings are hurt or bad words are said and that is filled two ways — when praise is given or received. With charming illustrations and a simple story, HOW FULL IS YOUR BUCKET? For Kids delivers the message of the power of positive words and actions to a younger audience, teaching kids that every moment matters and how each interaction they have affects their own sense of well-being and that of others.

At the core of the book is decades of Gallup research started by the late Donald O. Clifton, dubbed the Father of Strengths Psychology by the American Psychological Association. It was Clifton's life work to promote a positive culture in workplaces, schools, and homes, and this new book is the latest effort to achieve that goal.

Tom Rath is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller How Full Is Your Bucket?, the #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0, and the New York Times bestseller Strengths Based Leadership. Rath lives with his wife in Washington, D.C., where he leads Gallup's workplace research and consulting worldwide. Mary Reckmeyer, Ph.D., is a former preschool and elementary school teacher who holds degrees in educational psychology and education. She is Executive Director of the Donald O. Clifton Child Development Center, which has received national acclaim for excellence in early childhood education. Maurie J. Manning is an author/illustrator whose work was most recently seen in Kitchen Dance (Clarion, October 2008).
