Book Review "Find Your Strongest Life"



Okay, to preface this entire review I must say that I am probably not the demographic audience for this book. Well Lazer, what demographic are you then? Thats a great question. Male, 18-25, College student. Most likely intended audience for "Find Your Strongest Life"- Female, 25-35, Working Professionals. So, with that being said I will jump into the review having none of the demographic characteristics to give a proper review of it.

Marcus Buckingham is a revolutionary strengths based solutions speaker and author. He, in his book "Find Your Strongest Life", gives solutions to many problems facing women in the workforce in trying to "have it all."

In the introduction to the book Buckingham says, "'Having it all' means drawing enough strength from life to feel fulfilled, loved, successful, and in control, then that is something every single of of us should aim for and every single one of us can attain."

This becomes the reason for the message of the book. The book teaches skills to women that are the reason for living fully such as Catching and Cradling and important moments. At the end of the book there is a section called Strong Life Tactics. In this section of the book there is a host of techniques and ways to build a stronger career, build stronger relationships, build stronger kids, and build a stronger future.

Overall, I believe the book to be slightly helpful for women at best. At worst, I see this as explorations and guidance for what people care about most, themselves. The book was organized in a logical and easy to understand manner which would be helpful for people who have little time to do reading for fun. I would recommend this book to my Mom, because she is hungry for success.
