Find Your Strongest Life Book Review

Find your strongest life by Marcus Buckingham, gives examples of women from different backgrounds and why the choices made affec their lives in either a negative or positive way. An easy to understand and quick read, Find your strongest life, makes many good suggestions on how to be true to yourself.
Overall, this book was a compellation of ideas on how to make better choices for yourself and family. It would have been helpful to have the website available for access and see what type of person I am but I agree with his theory for happiness. Women work away from home and have to balance family life, add in the ability to nurture and grow a healthy marriage and there are bound to be times when you can feel overwhelmed. Find your strongest life, does not focus on what makes you happy he leaves that up to you to decide but it explains how the choice you make effect your overall happiness. For example, you take a job with a better paycheck to make a more comfortable life for yourself and family but when you add in the extra stress on yourself and hours away from home, it makes for an unhappy family. In this situation, the money may be helpful but what are you willing to sacrifice for financial excess, as opposed to family bonding. Find your strongest life is a great addition to the other business/family life books on the shelf but it was not much different from the other books available on the subject. However, I would recommend this book to women who need guidance, due to the fact it is quick and easy to understand, making it wonderful for busy women.
