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 as well have been left out. But apart from that criticism (or is it a criticism that a book can be read in two hours?) I only can recommend this book for its simple, but important and empowering insights. Firstly, there is the observation that much of our vocabulary to describe personal differences is about weaknesses and defects and that it is high time to talk about strengths as well. Secondly, we have the insight that in order to develop what corporate strategists would call competitive advantage it is more efficient to develop strengths than to eliminate weaknesses. Both insights are quite common-sensical once you've read them, but utterly lacking in our culture. These two insights alone well justify the purchase price of the book. Together with the code for an online personality profiling of your strengths, the purchase price, the two hours it takes to read the book, and the 30 minutes to take the test will be an excellent investment for almost anyone.
