The Strengths Book: Be Confident, Be Successful, and Enjoy Better Relationships by Realising the Best of You
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars The most useful strengths classification around
The Realise2 overcomes many of the issues that the other strengths inventories had. It’s tangible, it really means something, and the addition of unrealised strengths and learned behaviours is fascinating. Everyone I’ve used this with has loved it and now CAPP have provided us with a book to really help people use their results profile on a daily basis. My best advice is to do the online tool and get this book as soon as you can, it sounds cheesy but it is very likely to change your life (in a good way). Thank you to the CAPP team for a brilliant addition to the world of strengths.
5 Stars Very good information
A friend told me to purchase this book, not knowing much about Strengths. I’m still at the initial stage of where to take this but I would imagine it will really change the way I approach everything I do in life from work to home. It was easy to pick up and put down, very informative and practical but above all enlightening.
5 Stars A great sequel to “Average to A+”
I’m a bit of a fan of Alex Linley. His book “Average to A+ - Realising strengths in yourself and others” was a lightbulb moment for me - not just for being more productive in the workplace (the basic concept is that if you play to your strengths, you work more effiently and are happier too), but also for getting more out of life. This new book takes that one step further, by unpackaging the range of strengths available to us, with plenty of case studies and practical advice along the way. So this is great for managers who are under pressure to make productivity gains: if you want your staff to operate more efficiently, you can use this as a tool to organise them around their strengths. And if you’re unhappy at work, this book will help you move to a place where you can be a round peg in a round hole. Highly recommended.
5 Stars Inspirational
This book is a must for anyone who wants to adopt a different attitude to life and start enjoying the things they love again. Not only did I learn about my strengths but how to use them. I’m sold to the strengths idea and will be telling everyone I know about it.
