In his latest book Marcus Buckingham brings to light the struggle of modern women living a life devoid of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. In spite of 40 years of the women’s rights movement, legislative changes for equality and the shattering of the corporate glass ceiling; women find themselves less happy, medicated for depression, and emotionally unfulfilled. It is with this background that Marcus introduces a “life skill” that will help women end their struggle and provide them with a lifelong road map for living a strong life. Buckingham encourages women to recognize, create, and catch the “strong moments” in their life which are characterized by passion and the use of their natural gifts and talents.

I didn’t think much about it but to say a quick prayer for the people in the tower and on the plane and then go about my normal routine of getting ready for work. About 5 minutes later I got a call from my mom telling me to turn on the news and see what was happening. I learned quickly it was much more than just a small plan that hit the tower.
