5.0 out of 5 stars Humanistic June 22, 2002
Format:Paperback
This book has revolutionized my coaching practice and career counseling. The authors' theory of concentrating on your strengths and what you were meant to do makes perfect sense, now that they've said it. It's one of those books where you'll read it and say, "I knew that!" An obvious no-brainer for the young adult starting a career, I've found it exceptionally helpful for people in mid-life transition. Yes, it would've been good to have read it earlier, but at mid-life you've discovered through experience what does and doesn't work for you. This motivates change, and the changes you'll make after having read this, can be drastic. I find many mid-life clients unsatisfied with their work, yet unsure what to do about it, because they've come to know only their weaknesses. They yearn to do what they love, but aren't sure how to shape that. This book and the StrengthFinder (tm) profile jump-start the quest. I call this "humanistic," because once you know your strengths and are living them (and this applies to personal life as well as professional life), you soar. It's "deeply soul-satisfying," "a relief," and "the best thing I ever did," to quote some of my clients.

3.0 out of 5 stars An early effort on Strengths-based organizations... January 26, 2003
By Holly H
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Donald O. Clifton is more recently the co-author of "Now Discover your Strengths." Soar with your strengths is obviously an earlier version of that book without the web-based testing or defined "themes". "Soar" has the stories and suggestions behind the data found in "Now Discover". Nothing new here, but the stories may help those who struggle with the concepts in "Now Discover". I particularly liked the rabbit story at the beginning (which I empathized with) and the suggestions at the end of the book about imagining your goals and dreams.

Again, nothing new here, but some really nice illustrations of material found in other books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Preview to better books ahead March 1, 2001
Format:Paperback
It takes too many years between this book and "Now, Discover Your Strengths" that I failed to see the connection initially. This book is good as an introduction to a more fruitful organizational culture. In a workplace, if we are not working hard at creating a fruitful culture, the organization will deteriorate (entropy) into a dysfunctional one.

"Now, Discover . ." is a much more polished book than this. Better get that one. But you also need to read "First, Break All the Rules" to understand where "Now, Discover . ." is coming from. Having said that, if you read "First" and "Now", you can skip "Soar" - really.
