Abstract(s)
StrengthsFinder 2.0 is a little book around strengths-based psychology with an important message:
“Each person has greater potential for success in specific areas, and the key to human development is building on who we already are”.
If we unpack this idea a bit what it means is that us, as humans, should invest in developing our talents instead of trying to fix our weaknesses. With such an approach the ratio benefit/effort will be much bigger, which means that you will benefit immensely with a smaller amount of effort.
The author of the book is Tom Rath, an American author and researcher. His books have sold several million copies and have been translated into more then fifteen languages. Two of his most well-known books are “How Full Is Your Bucket?” And “Eat Move Sleep: How Small Choices Lead to Big Changes”. He is a scientist at Gallup and lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania. According to the author, since we are children society around us preach a misguided maxim: “You can be anything you want to be, if you just try hard enough”. This mantra is so entrenched in our “hard working” culture that it leads us to follow the path of most resistance in our professional lives. Tom Rath believes that in reality we can accomplish a lot more if we focus on our talents. The path of less resistance could be achieved by :
“You cannot be anything you want to be – but you can be a lot more of who you already are”.
