A book review: Find Your Strongest Life, Marcus Buckingham.


I just finished reading _Find Your Strongest Life_ by Marcus Buckingham. He is such a fascinating author. I am always intrigued by his content. Although this is a variation on a theme of his other books - 'Build on Strengths, not Weaknesses' - it is unique in that it focuses on women, in many different stages of life. He offers helpful ideas on how to advance in light of a culture that has many expectations placed on the role of women. The book is divided into 3 parts that breakdown to an analysis of the current cultural situation: how to develop 'Your Strongest Life'; & practical ideas on how to develop considering a number of life circumstances.

Buckingham's newest book provides some insight to the complexity of today's culture. I felt that his ideas were not totally gender exclusive.The Test included with the text is helpful for men & women. It gave me good ideas on how to develop personally and some ideas on how to encourage women that I meet with and work with. I think every woman should read and know this content and take the Strong Life test.

Hi Marty,

Happy New Year to you! I trust you are having an enjoyable day. My name is Todd Stepp and I work for BooksChristian.com, here in Franklin, TN. We are a Christian owned & operated company that sells over 200,000 Christian products.

I have visited figtreeandvine.blogspot.com/ and have noticed that you post book reviews on your blog. I wanted to see if you would be interested in partnering with us, enabling visitors to your blog to purchase books that you review, as well as other books that you may suggest to them (books of the day etc.). In return we would pay you 9% on every sale made. There is very little work that would need to be done on your end, as we provide all the tools to create links and codes that you can post on your blog.

I would love to discuss this further with you at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you!

Regards,

Todd Stepp
