I am usually writing a post about a book I have read, but this time I am writing about a book and test that intrigue me. The book is called Find Your Strongest Life, and it is by Marcus Buckingham, author of books about the StrengthFinder test. This book is written for women, and, according to Buckingham’s website, “the book challenges ingrained myths about women and tackles the paradox of declining female happiness.” My daughter has ordered Find Your Strongest Life, and I am looking forward to hearing about it from her perspective. I took the free online Strong Life Test, and I found the results to be valid according to my passions. Although I have been an educator for more than 30 years, my dominant roles (according to the Strong Life Test) do not include Teacher. They are Motivator and Creator, and I recognize that these are roles that energize me and that I turn to naturally. I would love to hear from other women who have taken this online assessment. Do you feel a kinship to the results of this assessment? And for those of you who have read this book, do you feel it could help a woman find her strongest life?
