Good books make me happy

November 17th, 2009 by Simon Leave a reply »

I don’t tend to read much fiction except when I’m on a beach some where and right now I’m on a slow train to Birmingham that keeps stopping in wild country side. So this isn’t fiction but I am smilling.

I grabbed this before I left the house this mornin. It’s a book to accompany a “personality test” that promises revelations about your inner strengths. I’ve not got access to the test rightnow but it seems I teresting. In a very geeky way I like understanding human behaviour and mine especially so.

The book discusses 34 traits that make up your strengths and these are the ones that resonate not with me:

Analytical, communication, connectedness, empathy, focus, harmony, ideation, learner, maximizer, positivity, relator, responsibility restorative, self-assurance, significance, strategic.
A long list.

    I've not read the book, but did find a series of Video Podcasts where Oprah Winfrey had Marcus Buckingham do a 'self help' conference for a group of American women. It's about identifying your strengths and what you enjoy doing, to focus on those things to enjoy your work more and be more fulfilled. It's on Itunes and well worth downloading to your IPOD. Just search for Marcus Buckingham.
