Marcus Buckingham and I Talk About Women

November 2, 2009 in Books,Leadership with 1 Comment

fysl_coverEarlier this week, I had the opportunity to talk with Marcus Buckingham in a telephone interview. For those of you not familiar with Buckingham, he’s an author and a speaker who is primarily focused on helping individuals discover and capitalize on their personal strengths. His previous books include First, Break All the Rules (co-authored with Curt Coffman) and  Now, Discover Your Strengths (co-authored with Donald Clifton, 2001).

In our conversation, we talked about women. Driving the conversation is research revealed by numerous studies indicating a drastic decline in female happiness over the last 40 years. Buckingham has recently released a new book, Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently, offering strategies for reversing this trend.
