Success often requires playing to your strengths. But do you really know you’re your strengths are and how to capitalize on them?

StrengthsFinder 2.0 has the answer.

Author Tom Rath has spent his career studying strengths and why people should make the most of them instead of focusing on their shortcomings. His research has identified 34 most common talents (he calls them themes) and created a tool for determining anyone’s top five. Rath believes that discovering your primary talents will have great benefit to you and your work peers.

Each StrengthsFinder 2.0 book includes an access code that allows the reader to take a 45-minute online test to determine his or her strengths. The book includes detailed information on each of the themes, such as Analytical, Focus, Maximizer, and Strategic. It also includes ideas for action and working with others who exhibit that particular strength.
