Partial reviews from Amazon:
- "...What we have in this book, Strengths Finder 2.0, is a wealth of new research material that Rath examines with exceptional precision and uncommon eloquence. I strongly encourage each reader to take full advantage of the self-diagnostic opportunities that both Rath and the Gallup organization generously offer. Of course, once various exercises are completed, a significant challenge remains: to take effective and productive action to apply what has been learned. It is helpful to be aware of what Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert I. Sutton so aptly characterize as the "knowing-doing" and "doing-knowing" gaps. It is also helpful to recall Peter Drucker's observation more than 40 years ago: "There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all."
- "...What I really like about this book is it enables you identify your strengths and create action plans to help develop yourself and build on your successes. A lot of people spend time identifying weaknesses and figuring out how to solve them. No one's perfect - why try to be. Focus on being the best you can possibly be."
The most interesting is when you give this book to a loved one and compare their strengths against your own! It becomes very telling of your relationships with those people.
- "...If curiosity has the habit of getting the best of you then you'll enjoy this. You should already know the answers by right, but it's interesting to see if they match. This does exactly what it says on the cover. Buying the book gives you access to a code which allows you to take an on-line test.
The results are based on your answers and the list is given with specific breakdown of your top 5 strengths and how to work on them. I will admit that I pretty much lost interest after that but the website which you are given access to does offer loads of useful hints. Oh and by the way, yes, the results are surprisingly accurate! "
I know that many people struggle with what to say about themselves especially when asked in an interview "What are you good at?" or frequently "Tell me about your strengths", so to be able to find your strengths with this new publication must go a long way towards boosting your confidence and consequently help you to perform better.
