“Good, but not as good as his others. ”

“Marcus Buckingham is a popular author of career advice that is upbeat, if a bit obvious. In this book, he encourages job seekers to focus on their strengths so they can find positions that suit them well. Buckingham provides five tips that he calls the “best advice you’ll ever get.” He lists them, explains them and lists them again to really reinforce them. This workbook even comes with a writing pad to make it easy for you to do the exercises Buckingham suggests. The advice will sound familiar if you have read his previous books, but if you’re stuck in a dead-end job, he explains how and where to start making changes. Buckingham writes for meek and inexperienced people, for job beginners and people who have stopped believing that a job can be fun. If a pep talk would spur you to ditch that painful pencil-pushing position and find something you’re glad to go do when you get up every morning, getAbstract suggests reading this book with your morning coffee.”

“Marcus Buckingham, co-author of Now, Discover Your Strengths, streamlines that message and gears it toward a younger audience. It comes with a DVD and a re-memo pad to aid in the interactive quality of the book. I think if you have kids in high school or college, this is a great book to give as a gift. ”

“This is a very practical book to pick up. It's a lot about using it rather than reading it - made up as it is of a DVD, a 110 page book, and a notebook to carry around.

Marcus Buckingham is clear and succinct, passionate about what he is sharing, and offers an excellent resource to help people explore just how remarkable they are, linked to five tenets, including: "You'll never find the perfect job." That might sound unexpected from Buckingham if you know anything about his work - but read on and you won't be disappointed.
