DO YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST EVERY DAY?

Chances are, you don't. All too often, our natural talents go untapped. From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to fixing our shortcomings than to developing our strengths.

To help people uncover their talents, Gallup introduced the first version of its online assessment, StrengthsFinder, in the 2001 management book Now, Discover Your Strengths. The book spent more than five years on the bestseller lists and ignited a global conversation, while StrengthsFinder helped millions to discover their top five talents.

In its latest national bestseller, StrengthsFinder 2.0, Gallup unveils the new and improved version of its popular assessment, language of 34 themes, and much more (see below for details). While you can read this book in one sitting, you'll use it as a reference for decades.

Loaded with hundreds of strategies for applying your strengths, this new book and accompanying website will change the way you look at yourself -- and the world around you -- forever.

Here's an instant teaser

Beatrix felt a familiar tingling trickle down her spine and into the flesh of her backside as she recalled the memories of the first time Florence had spanked her, totally unaware of the difference that was about to occur. Her mentor sat on the edge of the bed, kissed her with tenderness and amorously persuaded her over her knees again; but she needed no encouragement. This time, the hotness of their naked skins touching and the revelation of the secrets on the verge of exploding between her legs, made Beatrix groan from the depth of the emotions that enveloped her; and the ardent willingness to do what she was told proved the torrid nature of their love. This time, the slaps were sharp and arousing, creating a sense of sexuality that freed her heart entirely; and when Florence stroked her vagina periodically, her feelings were electrified with an indescribable force that made her tremble from want and need. Her passion for the wonderful, beautiful woman who was spanking her increased her desire to be taken beyond the borders of her imagination. Florence agitated her organs and continued to spank her bottom with greater authority and purpose, urging it to wriggle sexily, until she arched her back and yelled and bucked wildly from a gigantic orgasm. Afterwards, emboldened by the knowledge of how firmly their relationship had been cemented, she took Florence in her arms and pressed herself hard against her body. She shifted and writhed upon every protrusion, feeling and grabbing for parts that might have been missed, scratching and biting her with an exhilaration that was bewitching, sucking her clit again with a hungry thirst that would never be quenched. Her companion was inflamed by the attack and retaliated with equal ferocity until she felt instinctively that the time was ripe to penetrate her.
