Summary: Find your strengths and put them to work for you!
Comment: In an ocean full of bigger fish it can be difficult to stop living on the offense and consider our own strengths. How will you stand out amongst the other 200 people at that job interview if you yourself have no idea what your strengths are? And if you don't know what you are good at, are you applying for the best job for yourself in the first place?
`Now Discover Your Strengths' is the follow up to Buckingham's previous book `Break all the Rules'. This book focused on identifying and using your natural talents. Rather than working on overcoming weakness, which serves to create focus on what we are not good at, `Now Discover Your Strengths' teaches us to work on our strengths. In fact, to build our lives around them.
Once your strengths are identified it becomes much easier to find a fulfilling career that will continue to last - after all, you'll be doing something you're good at!

Summary: How do you want to spend the rest of your life?
Comment: This a good book if you want to rethink what you are doing with your life. Stephen Covey integrates some of this kind of thinking in the Eight Habits.
Share this with your kids in high school, and definitely before they head off to college.

Summary: Marketing Tool
Comment: I bought this book NEW at a bookstore that was going out of business.
I was really enjoying reading it until I got to Chapter 3, which directs you to go online and take their StrengthsFinder test using the "unique" code on the jacket of the book.
I was disgusted to learn that someone has already used the code (or so I am told by the FAQ on the site). Then I realized that this entire book, which reads remarkably fast and could probably be condensed down to 50 pages, is just a tool to get people to go to the site and "upgrade" to the latest version of the online test. How can you do that? Can you buy access separately? Nope. You HAVE to buy a book to get a code. And of course, when you get your book there's no way to ensure that someone hasn't already peeked inside the jacket and grabbed the code.
At least I paid a discount price for the book, but I'm not really interested in reading any further, nor in buying their latest "upgraded" book.
What a fantastic marketing tool to ensure that lending or selling the book is useless. When I say "marketing tool," I'm referring to the person behind this debacle.

Summary: Now Discover Your Strengths
Comment: Fantastic book as an individual read or as a team in the work environment. Easy to read and understand and at the end you have the results of the Strengths Finder Survey and a concrete set of steps to help you begin assessing your current work and personal decisions so they "play to your Strengths" Every Manager should have their team read this and share their strengths.

Summary: a required read that was a pleasure to read
Comment: This was required for a class I was taking in college to get my EdS degree, but it was one of the best books I read in the program. This book helps people discover their own strengths and encourages them to accentuate those strengths while trying not to focus on any weaknesses. It's a great self-help book that I'm glad I had to read because it truly enhanced my life.

Most of us fail to build our lives around individual strengths and talents -- instead, misguided by parents, teachers, managers, and psychology's fascination with pathology, we focus on our weaknesses while our abilities remain in the background. Now this fascinating new audio will help anyone shed new light on what they have to offer the world, by using the StrengthFinder Profile -- Gallup's twenty-five year, multimillion dollar effort to identify the 34 most prevalent human talents through more than 2 million individual psychological profiles. Now, Discover Your Strengths boldly reveals which of the 34 themes represent the listener's most dominant strengths, and subsequently challenges workers, managers, and executives at every level to improve their lives.
