After you've gotten sick of trying to tune your positive energy, why not identify your core strengths and work to build them. The book Now, Discover Your Strengths (by the same author as Go Put Your Strengths to Work and currently #5 on the NY Times Best Sellers list) takes a very practical outlook on how we can be more successful. Based on research consisting of interviews conducted by Gallup of over 1.7 million employees from 101 companies, representing 63 countries, the authors have presented information to completely shift our current state of mind around self-improvement. Around the world (more so in east Asia) when people look to improve themselves, they identify their weaknesses and attempt to correct them. This book explains how that is the an ineffective use of our time and talents. Instead we should work to identify, utilize, and enhance our natural strengths for by doing this we will make the most progress in our lives.
Whether it’s a TV commercial saying we need the newest thing, or our jobs demanding that we sacrifice our freedom and dreams, society doesn't honestly promote our health and happiness. In order to keep the modern world from washing away our individuality and enthusiasm we must step outside of our day to day lives and remind ourselves of what is truly meaningful: Our principles, dreams, and purpose for living. This self-help resource offers those reminders, helping us find a balanced path where we can live with a sense of purpose, confidence and peace.
