Organized around a simple metaphor of a dipper and a bucket, and grounded in 50 years of research, this audiobook will show you how to greatly increase the positive moments in your work and your life while reducing the negative.

StrengthsFinder 2.0 - Tom Rath - Discover Your Strengths 

Strengths Finder 2.0 - Follow-up to Now, Discover Your Strengths

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.

Use the unique access code included with each book to find out how to make better use of your own strengths:

- 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

- A more customized version of your top five theme report

- 50 Ideas for Action (10 strategies for building on each of your top five themes)

- The more user-friendly StrengthsFinder 2.0 companion website, with a strengths community area, library of downloadable discussion guides and activities, a strengths screensaver, and a program for creating display cards of your top five themes

What are the strengths YOU can rely on?
This book starts with a quote, that says a lot:

"Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?"
-- Benjamin Franklin

Franklin's quote represents the overarching theme of StrengthsFinder 2.0 This "book" is really a test that helps you identify your top five strengths from 34 possibilities, in the hope that you can have the opportunity to do what you do best every day.

Chances are, you don't. For most people, our natural talents go untapped, especially at work. Our society has taught us to focus on fixing our shortcomings, rather than developing our strengths. To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of the StrengthsFinder in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists.

In StrengthsFinder 2.0 Gallup unveils a new and improved version of its popular assessment. While you can read this book in one sitting, you'll use it as a reference for decades. It's loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your strengths, and helps you to understand those around you who have strengths and tendencies that are different from your own.

My other favorite book that includes an online test and has been a huge help to me at work and at home is The Emotional Intelligence Quick Book. -- Colin Battle
