The first time I glimpsed at the cover of Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently,I literally rolled my eyes and thought “who is this man and what gives him the right to think he can write a book about women finding their strongest life?”But still I had the book and I’m very curious by nature so I dug in.

A few pages into Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently,I found myself literally screaming-yes,I can totally relate to that and that and that and darn it,that too.Everything Marcus Buckingham wrote was on point,backed by research and statistics and at the end of it all meant to empower women everywhere.

The only negative for me about this book was that it was filled with percentages and figures to explain situations and like I mentioned earlier,I’m not a numbers kind of girl.If you’re like me,fear not because Marcus Buckingham breaks every percentage and number into “regular language” so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on some important data.

I love the fact that Marcus Buckingham filled Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently with examples of real women struggling with real issues we all deal with on a daily basis and most importantly how the women dealt with these issues and succeeded in finding some kind of healthy balance and fulfillment in their lives.

Marcus Buckingham has proven with Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently that you don’t have to be a woman to actually write about women’s strength and happiness.Simply put this book is about that very old cliche:”….life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it” in my opinion except Marcus Buckingham breaks it down beautifully in a book guaranteed to give you many “aha” moments and open your eyes to the endless possibilities that lie before you if you have the courage to follow your instincts.

Okay,so I hate statistics but I don’t really hate Marcus Buckingham because he knows his stuff and deserves a standing ovation for such an awesome book.Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently should be on every woman’s reading list.
