What’s inside
‘Now, Discover Your Strengths’ by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton is based on Gallup’s 20-year research project on the topic of human strengths. The book introduces the concept of focusing on personal strengths rather than weaknesses and proposes the revolutionary idea of building on what’s right with people instead of fixing what’s wrong.
