"How Full is Your Bucket?" by Tom Rath & Donald Clifton- 128 pages - Gallup Press 2004
In this brief but significant book, the authors, a grandfather-grandson team, explore how using positive psychology in everyday interactions can dramatically change our lives. Clifton (coauthor of Now, Discover Your Strengths) and Rath suggest that we all have a bucket within us that needs to be filled with positive experiences, such as recognition or praise. When we're negative toward others, we use a dipper to remove from their buckets and diminish their positive outlook. When we treat others in a positive manner, we fill not only their buckets but ours as well.

"How to Be a Gentleman" (and of course, by the same author, "How to Be a Lady") by John Bridges - 1998 Rutledge Hill Press
"A contemporary guide to common courtesy. In a world of cellular phones, express lanes, political correctness and business lunches, being a gentleman (or lady) seems more and more complicated." I really need this book. Here is a sample, as noble and as macro as: "A gentleman never makes himself the center of attention. His goal is to make life easier not just for himself but for his friends, acquaintances and the world at large." Or as simple and subtle as "A gentleman always puts the toilet seat down." Good stuff.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich
Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!
Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki developed his
unique economic perspective from two very different influences -- his two
fathers. One father (Robert`s real father) was a highly educated man, but
fiscally poor. The other father was the father of Robert`s best friend -- the
Dad who was an eighth grade dropout who became a self-made multi-millionaire.
The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" pounded home the
counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad." Taking that message to heart,
Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad opens readers eyes
by:
· exploding the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich
· challenging the belief that your
house is an asset
· defining once and for all an asset
versus a liability
· explaining what kids need to know
about money for their future financial success
