Strengths Finder 2.0 Book Review – What to Expect From the Book

Strengths Finder 2.0 Book Review

Have you read the Strengths Finder 2.0 book before? I personally heard about it briefly once or twice, and it caught my attention.

There is the first version of it obviously, but I bought the second one when I saw it in Austin’s airport.

Just finished reading it a few days ago, and decided to do a review on it.

I can tell you upfront that this book is for you regardless whether you are building a business or have a job. This is perfect for either profession.

The very first thing that I do wanna mention about Strengths Finder 2.0 is the book is pretty small, so you’ll be able to read it pretty quickly. The chapters are also very short and are broken down into “pieces”. You can literally read the entire book in a day or two. The language is also very simple to consume for everybody (even for a Russian like me).

What I really liked about the book is that it’s not JUST the book that you’re buying. You also get to access a Strengths Finder test. The coolest thing is you should not be reading the book without going through that test, because it won’t make any sense. This test helps you identify your top 5 strengths. Highly recommend it.

In the video below I share some more thoughts about the Strengths Finder 2.0 book, and why you may wanna read it (espcially if you’re a coach). I am seriously going to be pointing out every person that I work with to take that test. Feel free to share this with your team!

  10. This sound like an awesome book. I really like this quote ““If you spend your life trying to be good at everything, you will never be great at anything.” Reminds me of the quote “Being a jack of all trades and master of none.” Thanks for sharing Jelena!
