Buckingham Challenges the Next Generation to Defy Conventional Corporate Wisdom & Put their Strengths First When Choosing a Career Rather than Chasing a Paycheck and the Approval of Teachers & Parents

(Nashville, TN) Marcus Buckingham today announced the release of his fifth book and break-through toolkit The Truth About You: Your Secret to Success which challenges young professionals to defy the conventional wisdom of choosing a career path primarily for financial security and stability, and to take a stand by following their strengths and interests, giving them the ultimate edge in work and in life. Buckingham’s The Truth About You: Your Secret to Success shows the next generation how to achieve true satisfaction and lasting success by putting themselves first.

“Fewer than two out of ten people ever get to experience a high level of satisfaction in their career,” says Marcus Buckingham, best-selling author and the world’s leading expert in career success. “What today’s generation achieves and how they develop will be a direct reflection of the choices they make to play to their strengths at work.”

Perfect for high school and college students, young professionals, and people simply wanting to revitalize their career, The Truth About You: Your Secret to Success helps develop the kind of clarity and passion that drives a successful and satisfying future.

Enhanced DVD. A high-energy film reveals how and why you must discover and prioritize your strengths and includes access to a wealth of downloadable resources, including five bonus Strength Tip videos.
