Book
Great book, easy reading and good ideas. We could use more like this book.

Used book
I ordered a new book. The book I recieved had underlining in it and some of the lessons had been filled in. It is hard to do the lessons when you are looking at someone else's answers.

This book opened my eyes
I was at a point where it was like I was swiming upstream at work. Too many things were just so much more difficult than they needed to be.

I picked this book up because the title jumped out at me. This is the best work environment self-assessment book I have ever seen. It's the only one I've found that helps to identify why some jobs, or work environments are just not a good fit and never will be a good fit. The job or the environment just doesn't fit your strengths and your personality.

I've had my copy for over 15 years. And today, I'm on this site because I will be recommending this book to my adult nephew, who is recovering from losing a job that was a complete mismatch to his strengths and personality.

If your work life is just plain hard and you can't figure out why, this book may just be your lifesaver.
