I bought a book recently called Strengths Finder 2.0. It's an assessment test to help you define your strengths. I took it a few months ago, but I'm reviewing it again this week. When you buy the book, you receive a unique access code that gives you online access to the test and a bunch of resources to help you take appropriate actions towards utilizing your strengths in your every day - whether it be at work or home.
