Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
DO YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST EVERY DAY?
Chances are, you don't. All too often, our natural talents go untapped. From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths.
To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of its online assessment, StrengthsFinder, in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists and ignited a global conversation, while StrengthsFinder helped millions to discover their top five talents.
In its latest national bestseller, StrengthsFinder 2.0, Gallup unveils the new and improved version of its popular assessment, language of 34 themes, and much more (see below for details). While you can read this book in one sitting, you'll use it as a reference for decades.
Loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your strengths, this new book and accompanying website will change the way you look at yourself -- and the world around you -- forever.
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY IN THE NEW & UPGRADED EDITION OF STRENGTHSFINDER 2.0
(using the unique access code included with each book)
* A new and upgraded edition of the StrengthsFinder assessment
* A personalized Strengths Discovery and Action-Planning Guide for applying your strengths in the next week, month, and year
* A more customized version of your top five theme report
* 50 Ideas for Action (10 strategies for building on each of your top five themes)
* The more user-friendly StrengthsFinder 2.0 companion website, with a strengths community area, library of downloadable discussion guides and activities, a strengths screensaver, and a program for creating display cards of your top five themes--

• Very Insightful
21 February, 2010
Hard to believe that a half hours worth of questions online can lead to very interesting insights into one's strengths. This book was very helpful to me.

• The Focus Is You
20 March, 2010
Tom Rath's book and accompanying assessment make for an excellent (and efficient) way to gain a greater understanding of how you can stand out while feeling pride in your accomplishments. The StrenghtsFinder assessment is incredibly simple and quick. After receiving your immediate online results, this book is the perfect resource to find out more about each of your identified strengths. The quotes and action items associated with each strength are helpful in creating your own personal strategy while focusing on your strengths rather than your weaknesses. I was amazed at how accurately the assessment ranked my own personal strengths. Excellent resource to continuously use while looking introspectively as well as a great management tool. Definitely worth your time.

Good, not great. Told me something i already knew. What you are paying for is basically to take the assessment test.

• The Book You Should Buy Instead Of This Is Now Discover Your Strengths
03 March, 2010
There are 4 books in these strength based book series:
1. First Break All The Rules
2. Now Discover Your Strengths
3. Strengths Finder 2.0
4. Go Put Your Strengths To Work
All of Marcus Buckinghams books are incredible and will definitely help you in finding your strengths and are all worth buying.
However this is about Strengths Finder 2.0.
The only reason to purchase this book is to take the new strengths finder test and get a couple new things the first book didn't have.
In the back of each Strengths Finder 2.0 book there's a packet that contains a unique access code.
The first 30 pages are great content and you should read them but the whole rest of this book are details about each of the individual 34 themes.
This information is all contained in Now Discover Your Strengths also. The only difference is that the 2.0 book they give you 10 ideas for action and
3 ideas on working with others. Both helpful.
I bought both books. I initially took the Strengths Finder 2.0 Test and will take the Strengths Finder 1.0 later (the first test in Now Discover Your Strengths)
to see how different it really is in a couple of months and see if I have any different themes compared to the first test.
If your not an entrepreneur or not in a management position you don't need to buy First Break All The Rules. Just stick with the 3 other strength books.
