Marcus Buckingham has written a book that should be read by all women.  In fact, it may be helpful to many men – especially husbands.  Buckingham has written other helpful books including First, Break All the Rules.

In Find Your Strongest Life, the author highlights many interesting points and the one I find especially interesting is the research that shows women, in studies, indicate that they are less happy now than at any point since 1972.  Interesting.  With all the changes in our lives since 1972, women still are less happy.

He goes on to point out that today women are twice as likely to be on anti-depressants medication as men.

Buckingham notes the there are SIGNs of women who live “strong lives.  Those are:

Succcessful

Instinctively living for tomorrow

Growing and learning

Needs fulfilled

The book goes on to help women find their strengths. In the final section he helps the reader, and again I think makes can gain from this reading, find the areas to succeed in.  Interviews, fears, career changes, losing your job – these areas and more are explored and advise given to help become even stronger.  

This book is an easy, but very helpful read by anyone.
