"Find Your Strongest Life" by Marcus Buckingham


"What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently"... this subtitle is the premise of the book.  Marcus Buckingham delves into the world of a woman and picks it apart, looking for the stressers and the de-stressers alike. 

From the inside flap of the book: "Have you given up on 'having it all'?  Or maybe you're so busy having it all that you can't figure out how to enjoy it?  Maybe, you don't even know what 'all' you're supposed to have anymore?  You are not alone.  Women today are working, juggling, achieving, succeeding, and beating expectations at every turn - and they are less happy than ever.  Which is why they're turning to the expert who has helped millions of people find, focus on, and benefit from their strengths.  From his decades of research at the Gallup Organization to years of walking business executives through the 'strengths revolution,' Marcus has gained an international reputation for practical, realistic, and life-changing advice.  Find "Your Strongest life helps women apply this expertise to their own lives, marrying success and happiness in ways that prove women really can 'have it all.'"

Though this book is published by a "Christian" publishing house, the book will reach to all women of all walk of life.  Marcus writes from a biblical worldview, yet I do not feel that an unbeliever would feel uncomfortable reading this book.  In fact, Marcus has been "hailed as a visionary by corporations such as Toyota, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and Disney."

This book incorporates personal stories, wisdom, and a chance to take a look at your life and re-prioritize your life.  One of the chapters is all about "unbalancing" your life to get more enjoyment out of it.  This book is an easy read and will bring to light some key thoughts regarding how you go about trying to get enjoyment out of life.
