Now, Discover Your Strengths

This book was extremely readable! I did not actually take the StrengthFinder test, since the free code had already been used, but even without that I found a lot of useful information. This would have been even better for someone who is a manager. The main idea is that so often we focus on fixing problems instead of improving what we are good at. For example, rather than promoting health, we fix disease. There was a lot of research quoted to show that by focusing on your (or your employees') strength, weaknesses can be worked around. Also, there is more potential for improvement in an area where you have a natural talent than an area where there is a weakness. This was fascinating, and the book was well-written so that I just kept reading!
