mrskendallreads's review against another edition

I bought this book last year for work (my principal suggested I read it). It was a bit dated, but overall, it was pretty good, even eye-opening and thought-provoking at a few points. I gather that it's the third book in a popular series. I don't plan to read the first two, though I'm tempted. Plenty of newer books of a similar vein are waiting to be read.

Soar With Your Strengths is the original "source text" for the concept of CliftonStrengths (aka StrengthsQuest). I've been working with Strengths for a lot of my career, and I'd somehow never read this one. The edition I found was even before the assessment was even a thing. I appreciated that this helped me understand where the stuff I've been referencing for years legit came from. It's a little odd that I've waited this long to take it back to where it all began, but also I feel like having all the practical experience was a good full circle reflection. I'm definitely planning on infusing some of this book as I continue to work with Strengths going forward. Also, if you ever want to talk Strengths, HMU.

Meh. Simple? Yes. Revolutionary? Maybe. Enough for an entire book rather than a well written article? IMO, no.

I loved the thesis of this book.We live in a society that tells us that we can do anything if we just work hard enough. This book challenges that and introduces the counter intuitive notion that we would be far more successful if we just continue to get better at the things we are naturally good at.
