Allen presents a great system for getting both work and personal affairs in excellent order, which could transform any area of work or life which features discretionary time. Its popularity is not surprising, and it should not just be considered for business executives.

Is Your Genius at Work? by Dick Richards

I read “Is Your Genius at Work? by Dick Richards?” by Dick Richards and I give it my highest recommendation.

I found the book enjoyable and very useful for answering some key questions I had about my genius. Actually, the book and some deep soul searching helped me discover my genius. My genius is “Creating Order”. And as I look back over my life, I see that this explains a lot of the things I have done. I still haven’t discovered the way I’m supposed to apply my genius in my life, but I have clues to keep me aware of its discovery.

Now, Discover Your Strengths is an excellent book on both counts. The Gallup organization has studied excellence in many fields for over thirty years. This book summarizes some of that research from the perspective of identifying and bolstering people’s talents.
