StrengthsFinder 2.0 Tom Rath

There’s a story here too, was in Paris a couple week’s ago for some work engagement and stayed at the hoxton a boutique hotel with a certain quirky vibe to it, nice rooms with a nice little book shelf and real books! So as I was running through the shelf and happened upon this one – Strengthfinders 2.0 by Tom Rath the only unfortunate part to it was I noticed the book on my final night stay there and as I glossed through I got hooked and so I had to read the book through before checking out and leaving the next morning for Amsterdam. Truth be told I was drawn in by how this little piece of writing inspired me. It was really about a fresh perspective not dwelling on our shortcoming but truly seeing our strengths even in dire situation and condition. When I got to the 34 themes and ideas for action I was rearing to go. I saw my traits run across a number of themes but I am going to focus on the big boxes for now. It’s a practical hands on book that should motivate you and there’s an assessment at the end to give you an insight into your own theme. For me it basically is

a very positive piece almost spiritual really and quite inspiring. I am truly seeing the value of being opened to read how else could I ‘ve found this little wonder 😊
