Marcus Buckingham, The Truth About You

I found this book a very useful toolkit on how to develop one’s strengths, as Marcus Buckingham defines them. But I would think that anyone who has not read his earlier books, would not understand how he came to his definition of strengths (simply put, the things you do that make you feel stronger)and how they are useful to people in building their career. His earlier books are full of sound research and case studies behind the development of his “strengths” theory. There are plenty of career tests out there to help one find one’s strengths and interests, but this book shows you how to do it yourself.
