FINDING YOUR DREAMS!

The stated goal is to help people do more of what they do well. The author's methods are designed to uncover our key talents via thought patterns, feelings, and behaviors. The patterns are then categorized into 34 broad themes such as Achiever, Relator, and Ideation. The broad themes point to a person's natural talents, which can be further developed. One interesting aspect of the book is that it points out that no amount of training will help a person excel in an area of natural weakness. In fact, it stresses that we cannot do or be anything we choose since we are not good at everything. But if we figure out what our natural talents include and develop those, we can be extraordinary in those areas. The book emphasizes that in business, people enjoy their work and accomplish a lot more if they are doing something for which they have some natural talent.

The author rejects the idea that we can each be anything we want if we just try hard enough. I think the premise has a lot of merit, and there are people who try and try and never succeed and should have moved on to something for which they were naturally inclined. The author advocates putting effort into what you are naturally good at rather than spinning your wheels forever and inevitably failing anyway. Nevertheless, there are plenty of examples where someone dreamed and achieved beyond their natural talent.

I believe that we are not always fully aware of all of our natural talents. So don't automatically reject pursuing a dream because you may mistakenly believe you lack natural talent and it is therefore beyond your reach. Sometimes our talents don't emerge or develop until later in life. This is a thought-provoking book in an important area - finding your dreams. Another book that may also help you find and achieve your goals is THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams.

this was a very insightful tool to myself and my office. we were better able to under stand eachothers strenghts instead of picking out eachother's weeknesses. we flow much better now.






Great value

StrengthsFinder is a great value. Tom Rath, with both the book and the online assessment, confirmed some strengths and revealed others to me in an "aha!" way. My husband and I both took the assessment; now we see yet more ways in which we complement each other, in marriage and professionally. The hints about communicating with people with different strengths themes are almost worth the price of the book. Strengths-based living is the way to go.

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.

AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY IN THE NEW & UPGRADED EDITION OF STRENGTHSFINDER 2.0
(using the unique access code included with each book)

* A new and upgraded edition of the StrengthsFinder assessment

* A personalized Strengths Discovery and Action-Planning Guide for applying your strengths in the next week, month, and year
