Discover Your Keys to Success, Marcus Buckingham - "Now, Discover Your Strengths" Review

Let me guess...You are miserable in your job. Don't feel bad, most of us are. In fact, in a recent survey conducted by CareerBuilder.com. 84% of the nations workforce are unhappy at work

Marcus Buckingham, seen on Oprah, Dec 19, 2008, has a radical strength training approach to help people discover your keys to success and happiness at work. He has worked with hundreds of employees at places like Coca-Cola, the Gap, and MicroSoft. His key to success is simple,

"focus on what makes you feel strong, instead of trying to fix your weaknesses. If you want to know what your strength is, you've got to pay attention to how you feel. It feels like focus. It feels like concentration. You feel invigorated. Energized."

He has helped hundreds, and now has a book out, Now, Discover Your Strengths, that teaches people to recognize their innate abilities.

Unfortunately, most of us have little awareness of our talents and strengths, much less the ability to build our lives around them. Instead, guided by society, we become experts in our weaknesses and our lives revolve around trying to fix our flaws. In the meantime our strengths lie dormant and neglected.

Think of something you are really good at. Some area of your life were you show a natural advantage , talent, strength or passion. "That's where you start," Marcus says.

How do you discover your keys to success and turn them into strengths? With the innovative program developed jointly by Marcus Buckingham, and Donald O. Clifton, Chair of the Gallup International Research & Education Center. Called the StrengthsFinder Profile, it is an internet based product that helps to identify the most prevalent human strengths. It helps guide the user to pinpoint their talents, build them into strengths, and capitalize on them.

Now, Discover Your Strengths contains a unique identification number that allows you access to the StrengthsFinder Profile on the Internet. A virtual interview analyzes your immediate reaction, your are presented with five of your most powerful signature themes such as Achiever, empathy, strategic, and shows you how to leverage them for powerful results.

The fact that Now, Discover your Strengths,it is endorsed by Oprah says enough. More than that, it has to be one of the most fundamentally useful business books ever written. Giving the reader profound insights on their keys to success, turning talents into strengths and the immediate on-line feedback of StrengthsFinder, it is truly a ground breaker.
