Wouldn't it be better to know what our Strengths are and use them daily?

Stengthsfinder 2.0 is a book that can be purchased for $15 at Amazon.
Has a CODE in back of book that when you enter on their website, you can take an Assessment that takes about 1/2 hour and gives you your top 5 Strengths out of the 34. Best assessment that I have seen and taken. It gives you a printout of your strengths and also an Application section which explains how you can further use your strengths, improve on your strengths and work with people that have different strengths. It should also be great for marriages and also for single people...
We can make the most impact in and on our world by using our strengths.
Doesn't make much sense by trying to improve on our "weakness's"
