Learning about strengths
This book is especially helpful when dealing with unfamiliar personalities, and for those who do not know themselves. The online questionnaire is illuminating and well worth the time investment. Although I don't agree with the author's points of view... more

A must read for professionals in any field
In summary, I am in full agreement with all of the positive reviews posted here, however, I also agree with the various criticisms I have read - hopefully they will be noted by the authors and incorporated into a revised and improved next edition. more

Solid book, only suffers by comparison to its predecessor

This book was a fascinating experience for me. I am amazed that at nearly 60 years of age, I was unaware of some of my strengths. I am motivated to pursue new projects as a result of the assessments in this unique book. I disagree with the author about... more

Not very deep, but empowering
If you are used to reading about complex topics, you will have no trouble reading this book in two hours--it is not exactly intellectually thoroughgoing, and indeed some of its sidelines, such as the one on neurology, are so shallow that they could just... more
