Check out what women are already saying about Find Your Strongest Life. Brooke: When I read the "Ten Myths" that opened the book, I was completely hooked. The statistics are interesting and fresh. I also related to the problem that sets up the book: "Which parts of me should I cut out?" As I read, I could see myself in the Marcus's big-picture analysis and statistics. The early part of the book made me anticipate a breakthrough. And Marcus delivered. Overall, he explains a woman's dilemma perfectly . . . in fresh terms with a unique spin. The main ideas in each chapter were so engaging. Chapter 6 in particular is worth the price of the book. I have already started looking for strong moments in my life, and I want to tell every woman I know to do the same. It is definitely life-changing. Rebecca: It was really good. It was awesome. And to be honest, perfect timing for my life. I'm REALLY in that place. I can't tell you how badly I've been depressed for the last several months just trying to figure out what to do differently so I'm not so miserable. On one hand, I'm grateful I have a job still. I have a mortgage and bills and all that. But on the other hand...I can't continue to work at a job that gets me nowhere, is not rewarding, not challenging, and mentally drains me. I really have started avoiding my family because I've become so rude and snippy. It's a bad cycle. BUT...God willing this year (sooner than later) I will be able to put this behind me and do what I love :) Even if it's making half as much money. Thanks for thinking of me to read this. I needed it! Delaney: I was on a plane as I finished reading the manuscript. I was going to be with my daughter who is a law student. As I finished the pages, Marcus helped me gain a new understanding of myself that stood out like a neon sign: I am the person who helps others build infrastructure, get through situations ,and set everything right. It goes beyond motherhood. I am an event planner by birth. I see big pictures and the components necessary to get from vision to execution. The content helped me to reframe my own thinking. Very helpful. I'm excited to take the online test and see which role I'm born to play.  Jennifer: As a working mother, I found the concept of the book fascinating. There are daily struggles of trying to balance being the perfect wife, mother, and employee, and the book helped me truly understand how to navigate all those demands.

Read More Rating: - Find Your Strongest Life by Marcus Buckingham, 2009 - a reviewShelley Campagnola, Professor and Executive Director of Ministry Resource, Inc., Canada It is unusual to find a book for women, written by a man, that so adeptly addresses the deepest longing of women for purpose, focus and fulfillment. Using research and attention to the relational and emotional wiring of women, Marcus Buckingham does just that. In the similar theme of living a strengths-based life first articulated in "Now, Discover Your Strengths" in partnership with ... Read More Rating: - Excellent life tactics and accessible information, if a bit too chattyThere's good information in Live Your Strongest Life. Unfortunately, Marcus Buckingham doesn't get to the meat until Chapter 6, in Part Two. There were five chapters of storytelling and fluff to wade through, where the author felt it necessary to bring us all to the point of realizing we are overworked and overstressed, multitasking our way to an unhappy existence. As far as I am concerned, YES, I get that. I was a convert to that theme, long before I opened the book. Why Buckingham needed ... Read More Rating: - where has this been all my life??I cannot believe that we are not teaching our children these concepts: act from your strength; pursue what you love; stop wasting time perfecting your weaknesses (which will not yield much return); perfect your strengths (where your joy and contribution are)! I have a new lease on life to hone in on my exact next steps to utilize my greatest gifts. I'm at a mid-life point, I already have a lot of insight and wisdom, and I think this book is extraordinary. I LOVE this book. THE HEART-CONNECTED LIFE...for ... Read More Rating: - changed my lifeThis book changed my life. It subtly seeped into my mind and I started making small changes in my choices throughout the day. It was just effortless really but has made a huge difference in how satisfied I feel. It has nothing to do with stupid things like positive thinking and not even with things like affirmations. It's more practical than that and you get results instantly. He pretty much shows you exactly what matters and what doesn't. This book is what I've been searching for for a while because affirmations ... Read More |
