Product Description

Product Description
World-renowned motivational speaker and strengths guru Marcus Buckingham gives the one secret to success.For those heading out into the 'real world' and those already entrenched in it, a similar life-sapping mantra is being repeated: It's not all about you!Employees are taught to put themselves aside and get plugged in to the mission of the organization, the goals of the company. But Marcus Buckingham believes that a person's ability to succeed in life flies directly in the face of corporate thinking. His new book, "The Truth About You", leads readers to true success by empowering them to make the crucial choice of putting themselves first by crafting a work life that plays to their strengths.

About the Author
Marcus Buckingham is a multi-million-copy, best-selling author with over 3.6 million copies of his landmark bestsellers in print. Drawing on more than 150,000 interviews collected by Gallup over the previous 25 years, he developed the thesis for his strengths message that is changing the way the world approaches life and work. He has been the subject of in-depth profiles in the New York Times, Fortune, and Fast Company and has consulted with national and international brands, such as Toyota, Coca-Cola, Best Buy, and Wells Fargo. He is also a member of the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on Leadership and Management.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish!, 31 Oct 2008
By J. Hobbs (North Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having enjoyed his previous books, I was looking forward to absorbing everything new that MB had to tell me. Sadly, I find I have a new strength. I'm gullible. MB also has a new strength - how to exploit the gullible and get them to pay good money for an extract of his previous work, plus - wait for it, wait for it - a blank notebook. Yep - what could have benn mine for a few pennies has cost me pounds. I feel quite sick, but if I can save just one of you from buying this piffle, then my work here is done. Please note, I continue to enjoy his previous works. Unfortunately, I have to give one star just to get off this blessed page!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting homily on finding rewarding work, 27 April 2009
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Marcus Buckingham is a popular author of career advice that is upbeat, if a bit obvious. In this book, he encourages job seekers to focus on their strengths so they can find positions that suit them well. Buckingham provides five tips that he calls the "best advice you'll ever get." He lists them, explains them and lists them again to really reinforce them. This workbook even comes with a writing pad to make it easy for you to do the exercises Buckingham suggests. The advice will sound familiar if you have read his previous books, but if you're stuck in a dead-end job, he explains how and where to start making changes. Buckingham writes for meek and inexperienced people, for job beginners and people who have stopped believing that a job can be fun. If a pep talk would spur you to ditch that painful pencil-pushing position and find something you're glad to go do when you get up every morning, getAbstract suggests reading this book with your morning coffee.
