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.

Getting to know thyselfNovember 26, 2008 This book/survey made me realize who I really am. It coincided with my thoughts of who I really am, thus making it concrete of what my strengths are and what I can do for myself in the future. I highly suggest this book for those that want to search within.
The fast and efficient way to identify your strong pointsNovember 24, 2008 I was very impressed with Marcus Buckingham's "Trombone Player Wanted" DVD. The beauty of this book is the ability to do a 20 min long online test developed by the Gallup organization, and get your personal profile. If you want your strengths identified fast - go for it. You want to be happy and fulfilled at work - give yourself a gift. I am getting several copies as presents for my best friends and family. Spread the joy !
A Useful Tool in Executive CoachingNovember 23, 2008 I have found this to be a highly reliable and valuable assessment instrument in my Executive Coaching practice. It helps an individual both recognize and articulate their strengths, providing a useful springboard for discussion on how they might utilize those strengths to meet future professional and personal challenges.
Strengths Finder 2.0November 23, 2008 The outlook of the book I ordered via Amazon.com looks pretty good. I like the conveniency of purchasing books online. Overall, it's been a pleasant experience for me.
