  <default_description>DO YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST EVERY DAY?   &lt;P&gt;Chances are, you don't. All too often, our natural talents go untapped.  From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our  shortcomings than to developing our strengths.   &lt;P&gt;To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version  of its online assessment, StrengthsFinder, in the 2001 management book Now,  Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the  bestseller lists and ignited a global conversation, while StrengthsFinder  helped millions to discover their top five talents.   &lt;P&gt;In its latest national bestseller, StrengthsFinder 2.0, Gallup unveils the  new and improved version of its popular assessment, language of 34 themes,  and much more (see below for details). While you can read this book in one  sitting, you'll use it as a reference for decades.   &lt;P&gt;Loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your strengths, this new  book and accompanying website will change the way you look at yourself --  and the world around you -- forever.   &lt;P&gt;AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY IN THE NEW &amp; UPGRADED EDITION OF STRENGTHSFINDER 2.0  &lt;BR&gt;(using the unique access code included with each book)   &lt;P&gt;* A new and upgraded edition of the StrengthsFinder assessment   &lt;P&gt;* A personalized Strengths Discovery and Action-Planning Guide for applying  your strengths in the next week, month, and year   &lt;P&gt;* A more customized version of your top five theme report   &lt;P&gt;* 50 Ideas for Action (10 strategies for building on each of your top five  themes)  &lt;P&gt;* The more user-friendly StrengthsFinder 2.0 companion website, with a  strengths community area, library of downloadable discussion guides and  activities, a strengths screensaver, and a program for creating display  cards of your top five themes</default_description>
