    <![CDATA[Unfortunately, most of us have little sense of our talents and strengths, much less the ability to build our lives around them. Instead, guided by our parents, by our teachers, by our managers, and by psychology's fascination with pathology, we become experts in our weaknesses and spend our lives trying to repair these flaws, while our strengths lie dormant and neglected. <p> Marcus Buckingham, coauthor of the national bestseller <em>First, Break All the Rules,</em> and Donald O. Clifton, Chair of the Gallup International Research &amp; Education Center, have created a revolutionary program to help readers identify their talents, build them into strengths, and enjoy consistent, near-perfect performance. At the heart of the book is the Internet-based StrengthsFinder® Profile, the product of a 25-year, multimillion-dollar effort to identify the most prevalent human strengths. The program introduces 34 dominant &quot;themes&quot; with thousands of possible combinations, and reveals how they can best be translated into personal and career success. In developing this program, Gallup has conducted psychological profiles with more than two million individuals to help readers learn how to focus and perfect these themes.  <p> So how does it work? This book contains a unique identification number that allows you access to the StrengthsFinder Profile on the Internet. This Web-based interview analyzes your instinctive reactions and immediately presents you with your five most powerful signature themes. Once you know which of the 34 themes -- such as Achiever, Activator, Empathy, Futuristic, or Strategic -- you lead with, the book will show you how to leverage them for powerful results at three levels: for your own development, for your success as a manager, and for the success of your organization. <p> With accessible and profound insights on how to turn talents into strengths, and with the immediate on-line feedback of StrengthsFinder at its core, <em>Now, Discover Your Strengths</em> is one of the most groundbreaking and useful business books ever written.<p><strong>Please note that the code for the Online Strengths Finder Test is found on the inside of the dust jacket.</strong></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;How did you feel after your last interaction with another person? Did that person &#8212; your spouse, best friend, coworker, or even a stranger &#8212; &quot;fill your bucket&quot; by making you feel more positive?

The number one New York Times and number one Business Week bestseller, <em>How Full Is Your Bucket?</em> reveals how even the briefest interactions affect your relationships, productivity, health, and longevity. Organized around a simple metaphor of a dipper and a bucket, and grounded in 50 years of research, this book will show you how to greatly increase the positive moments in your work and your life &#8212; while reducing the negative. Filled with discoveries, powerful strategies, and engaging stories, <em>How Full Is Your Bucket?</em> is sure to inspire lasting changes and has all the makings of a timeless classic.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;While millions of people in the U.S. are actively involved in some sort of religious organization, many people feel disengaged from their faith communities. More than half report that they really don't get the opportunity in their congregation to do what they do best. The problem is this: too many people's talents are going unappreciated. But it doesn't have to be this way. <em>Living Your Strengths</em> shows readers how to use their innate gifts to enrich their faith communities. The book shows people how to identify and affirm their talents, and how to use them for growth and service. Most importantly, <em>Living Your Strengths</em> helps people discover their true callings. The book includes an ID code that gives readers access to StrengthsFinder.com, a personality assessment that reveals the user's top five talents.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Donald Clifton and Paula Nelson draw on more than 40 years of research with leading companies to arrive at their &quot;do what you do best&quot; strategy, which involves finding out what you do well and doing more of it, and finding out what you don't do well and discontinuing it. The authors realized that most people are encouraged to work on their weaknesses, not their strengths, and that this can reduce the strengths and lead to a negative self-concept. The book urges businesses and managers to change their approach and focus on strengths, using the approach to manage people, increase productivity and identify corporate strategy.]]>

    <![CDATA[While millions of people in the U.S. are actively involved in some sort of religious organization, many people feel disengaged from their faith communities. More than half report that they really don't get the opportunity in their congregation to do what they do best. The problem is this: too many people's talents are going unappreciated. But it doesn't have to be this way. <em>Living Your Strengths</em> shows readers how to use their innate gifts to enrich their faith communities. The book shows people how to identify and affirm their talents, and how to use them for growth and service. Most importantly, <em>Living Your Strengths</em> helps people discover their true callings. The book includes an ID code that gives readers access to StrengthsFinder.com, a personality assessment that reveals the user's top five talents.<br/><br/>Unique code to accompany book is delivered wirelessly to your Kindle in a separate message. For users of the Kindle for iPhone application, the unique code is delivered to Your Media Library.]]>
