 Great resource for your toolbox! July 11, 2008
This is an excellent book by Marcus Buckingham! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and the case study he uses throughout the book really reinforces all of the key concepts. The journal pages in the back of the book (or you can download them off his site) are helpful in assisting you to identify which work activities strengthen you and which work activities weaken you. He shows, through case examples, how to minimize the activities that weaken you so that you spend most of your time on work where your strengths shine.

A MUST HAVE RESOURCE June 15, 2008

Marcus Buckingham is brilliant! His research-profound! As a professional workplace trainer, I use this book and insist that my clients purchase copies for their management teams before I conduct their trainings. Yesterday's "Human Resources" is today's "Talent Management" and employment engagement! Another must-have is the previous book "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham.
 The sequel game June 14, 2008

Nutshell review - This book is a "6 step guide" on how to apply your strengths in work and life. But actually it's a just spin-off to milk the concept written in "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by the same author. Bottom line message = build and work on your strengths, not your weaknesses.
 RIP-OFF ARTIST June 13, 2008

I felt so ripped off--I got the impression from Buckingham's careful but indirect wording to the reader that you would be able to take the lauded Strengthsfinder test after buying his book and getting the secret code---NOT SO. He very manipulatively avoids telling you that you will now need to buy yet ANOTHER book by ANOTHER author to get that guy's secret code for you to finally get the Strengthsfinder. Buckingham gives you access to some lame thing called the Strengths engagement track. And it gets worse, folks, after you buy the OTHER book to take Strengthsfinder test, you find out that if your spouse wants to take the test? Well, screw him, he has to go buy ANOTHER copy of the same book to get another secret code. These guys sure know how to milk you for all they can get. There are plenty of complaints from readers on the website about this crap--ok, charge a nominal fee for the spouse test--but go buy another copy of the same book for the same household??! I am even mad at Oprah for her endorsement of Buckingham without researching this grab for money more thoroughly and then all of them FULLY and OPENLY and FRANKLY let people know what the now hidden costs are so we know before we invest in the first book and get suckered into buying more and more and more. . . There is some good stuff in the book but I am so disgusted by the unethical set up to reap excessive profits that I am done with it. I'll go somewhere else.
