Summary: More motivated to lead through strengths
Review: This book was a fascinating experience for me. I am amazed that at nearly 60 years of age, I was unaware of some of my strengths. I am motivated to pursue new projects as a result of the assessments in this unique book. I disagree with the author about weaknesses. Sure, we all have weaknesses. If the consequences of avoiding them are too high, then we must deal with them. I recommend Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self, a realistic powerful book that teaches the reader how to maximize strengths, and make the most of any situation.

Summary: Not very deep, but empowering
Review: If you are used to reading about complex topics, you will have no trouble reading this book in two hours--it is not exactly intellectually thoroughgoing, and indeed some of its sidelines, such as the one on neurology, are so shallow that they could just as well have been left out. But apart from that criticism (or is it a criticism that a book can be read in two hours?) I only can recommend this book for its simple, but important and empowering insights.

Firstly, there is the observation that much of our vocabulary to describe personal differences is about weaknesses and defects and that it is high time to talk about strengths as well. Secondly, we have the insight that in order to develop what corporate strategists would call competitive advantage it is more efficient to develop strengths than to eliminate weaknesses. Both insights are quite common-sensical once you've read them, but utterly lacking in our culture. These two insights alone well justify the purchase price of the book. Together with the code for an online personality profiling of your strengths, the purchase price, the two hours it takes to read the book, and the 30 minutes to take the test will be an excellent investment for almost anyone.

Review: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK USED!!!!
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK USED!!!!
There is a code in this book that is needed to take a test and understand more than half of this book and how it applies to you personally. This code is used at a website to find out your strengths and is only valid for a one time use. If you purchase this book used your chances of that code already being used are very high. You will then need to get a new copy of the book if you want to take the test. WHAT A WASTE!
