Positive Psychology Books on Strengths

	This is the definitive work on the VIA Character Strengths. The first part of the book explains the approach that was taken in identifying this set of character strengths. The rest serves as a reference resource with a chapter on each strength about the research, measures, correlates, and possible future directions on each of the strengths.
	This book explains and provides access to the most current version of Gallup’s online tool for identification of their 35 talents that underlie our strongest strengths of action.
	Marcus Buckingham, formerly with Gallup and now an independent researcher, consultant, and speaker, shows how to take the generic talents identified by Strengthsfinder and turn them into specific, powerful, and emotionally captivating personal strengths statements. He provides a step-by-step approach to re-crafting your work around your strengths, thereby benefiting both yourself and your enterprise.
	For those for whom "Curiosity" is a signature strength -- and this is true of many lawyers -- Todd Kashdan offers both insight into this peculiar strength and new ways to use it. So, get your curiosity going and buy the book!
	The Highlands Ability Battery, described in this book, is a different approach to strengths. It focuses on what Gallup would call "talents" -- the underlying hard-wired capacities that are the high-capacity, high-performance channels inside us. However, the book does not provide the test. To get that, you will have to contact a Highlands-trained affiliate. See their website at www.highlandsco.com.
