Notes From Your Bookseller

What goal could be more noble than helping people be their best selves? With this guide, that’s the deal. Look at yourself, identify your strengths, use those to live your best life. It’s infinitely digestible and ripe with reusable wisdom you’ll pull from for the rest of your (best) life.

Discover your strengths and learn how to use your greatest natural talents to get the most out of your life.


DO YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO USE YOUR STRENGTHS 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 the assessment helped millions discover their top five talents.

Gallup then unveiled a new and improved version of its popular assessment — StrengthsFinder 2.0 — language of 34 themes and much more. 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 book will change the way you look at yourself — and the world around you — forever.
