| | Description | Unfortunately, most of us have little sense of our talents and strengths, much less the ability to build our lives around them. Instead, guided by our parents, by our teachers, by our managers, and by psychology's fascination with pathology, we become experts in our weaknesses and spend our lives trying to repair these flaws, while our strengths lie dormant and neglected. Marcus Buckingham, coauthor of the national bestseller First, Break All the Rules, and Donald O. Clifton, Chair of the Gallup International Research & Education Center, have created a revolutionary program to help readers identify their talents, build them into strengths, and enjoy consistent, near-perfect performance. At the heart of the book is the Internet-based StrengthsFinder® Profile, the product of a 25-year, multimillion-dollar effort to identify the most prevalent human strengths. The program introduces 34 dominant "themes" with thousands of possible combinations, and reveals how they can best be translated into personal and career success. In developing this program, Gallup has conducted psychological profiles with more than two million individuals to help readers learn how to focus and perfect these themes. So how does it work? This book contains a unique identification number that allows you access to the StrengthsFinder Profile on the Internet. This Web-based interview analyzes your instinctive reactions and immediately presents you with your five most powerful signature themes. Once you know which of the 34 themes -- such as Achiever, Activator, Empathy, Futuristic, or Strategic -- you lead with, the book will show you how to leverage them for powerful results at three levels: for your own development, for your success as a manager, and for the success of your organization. With accessible and profound insights on how to turn talents into strengths, and with the immediate on-line feedback of StrengthsFinder at its core, Now, Discover Your Strengths is one of the most groundbreaking and useful business books ever written. Please note that the code for the Online Strengths Finder Test is found on the inside of the dust jacket. | |

 Is it here yet? Aug 19, 2010
I ordered this book about a week ago and it just shipped and it says that it is estimated that it will take 3 weeks to get to me!!! This is ridiculous. Never ordering from them again!
Book is great but buying it from Amazon was not Aug 15, 2010
The book is great but buying it from Amazon was not. There is a code inside the spine of the dust jacket. I bought the book as "new" but there was no code in the back to take the online test at the end of the book. I returned the book and got a refund but if I didn't know about the code I would have read 1/2 the book before learing about the code and I don't know how Amazon would have handled a returned 1/2 read book.
 It confirms something you should already know Aug 15, 2010
If you are wondering what strengths you have, listening to this audio book is a way to find out. Keep in mind the code included is only good for 1 use!
I listened to the book on my way to work in the mornings (I have an hour's drive one way) and it was interesting. The author gives examples and it's easy to follow. After I took the exam and got my results it was nice to see there were no surprises. Yeah, I may not have articulated the results in the same way, but the exam really did the trick in "discovering my strengths". To me, the price of the book made it worth that exam result.

Don't buy it used Jun 17, 2010
Sorry for the rating. The book is great. The only ratings I usually read are the low ones. So, the best place to warn people is with a one rating. Don't buy it used. It has a serial number you need to access an online test and it can only be used once. Chances are, whoever owned the book before you used the number.

Context Changing... Jun 13, 2010
The books premise is that world class preformance is based on leveraging our natural talents rather than fixing our personal weaknesses. Focuses on each persons uniqueness and unique talents.
Takes a lot of pressure off to realize that focusing on what you love and are really good at, will make a person more successful than focusing being a little bit good at a lot of things (most of which don't bring joy.)
By leveraging talents, we can learn to compensate or come up with alternatives to our weaknesses that are centered in our strenghts.
very intersing book. Lots to ponder
