Twenty years ago, while riding in the back of a New York City taxicab, syndicated columnist and business consultant David J. Pollay had an awakening-and he converted the lesson he learned that day into a life philosophy: By letting other people's “garbage”-their negativity-simply “pass by,” and not dumping garbage on others, you can become happier and more successful, both personally and professionally. Since David published the “Law“ in his newspaper column three years ago, more than 1,000 blogs have posted it, millions more have read it, and organizations worldwide have adopted it. And the numbers keep growing. Translated into nearly 50 languages, people from more than 100 countries have taken David's “No Garbage Trucks! Pledge.” All over the world people remember the focusing metaphor of the garbage truck for what can be achieved in life by not staking success and happiness on the behavior of others. Powerful and easily understood, The Law of the Garbage Truck will guide and inspire readers everywhere, every day.

Twenty years ago, while riding in a New York City taxi, international keynote speaker and positive psychology leader David J. Pollay narrowly escaped a life-threatening car crash. The driver who almost caused the accident started yelling at the cab driver, who remarkably just smiled, waved, and wished him well. Pollay asked how the cabbie could remain so calm, and his response sparked the defining principle of The Law of the Garbage Truck: "Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. . . . And if you let them, they'll dump it on you. So when someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally . . . move on."In this remarkable book, Pollay shows you how to apply his Law to achieve happiness and success in both your personal and professional lives. Since David published “The Law“ in his syndicated newspaper column six years ago, thousands of blogs have posted it, millions more have read it, and organizations worldwide have adopted it.

Combien de fois un serveur grossier, un patron cassant ou un parent insensible a-t-il gâché notre journée à cause d'actes irréfléchis, de propos déplacés ou de remarques sournoises? Et combien de fois avons-nous nous-mêmes gâché la journée de quelqu'un d'autre par notre négativité? Il y a vingt ans, alors qu'il se trouvait à bord d'un taxi à New York, le chroniqueur de presse et conseiller en affaires David J. Pollay a échappé de peu à un accident de voiture qui aurait pu être mortel. Le conducteur de l'autre véhicule qui avait presque causé un accident a commencé à hurler après le chauffeur de taxi qui, étonnamment, s'est contenté de sourire, de le saluer et de lui souhaiter la meilleure des chances. Pollay s'est demandé comment le chauffeur de taxi avait pu conserver son calme. Sa réponse a donné naissance à La loi du camion à ordures. Dans son livre, David J. Pollay nous montre qu'en refusant que les autres déversent sur nous leurs "ordures" (négativisme, colère, ressentiment) - et en choisissant plutôt de les "ignorer" -, nous sommes plus heureux et connaissons davantage de succès sur les plans personnel et professionnel. Et quand nous cessons de déverser nos ordures sur les autres, nous améliorons nos relations, nous avons plus de succès en affaires et nous renforçons les liens entre les membres de notre communauté.
