Tom Rath, co-author of Wellbeing: The 5 Essential Elements

Aimed at a general audience, this work shows the interconnections among those five elements that shape the way people evaluate their lives. Included with the book is a unique access to an online program designed to help readers track their well-being. Over the past decade, Gallup has introduced the concepts of strengths-based development and employee engagement to more than 20 million people around the world -- largely through the #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath and the New York Times bestseller 12: The Elements of Great Managing, which was coauthored by engagement expert Jim Harter. In Wellbeing: The Five Essential Elements, these bestselling authors team up to share the results of a landmark study of wellbeing and its implications for organizations and individuals. Their groundbreaking research reveals how organizations can help employees boost their overall wellbeing -- from their satisfaction with their careers to their financial security and level of community involvement. After conducting this extensive study, Rath and Harter discovered that much of what we think will improve our wellbeing is either misguided or just plain wrong. We'll talk about the proper guidance to improve our wellbeing maximizing these 5 elements. Tom Rath has written three international bestsellers in the last decade. His first book, How Full Is Your Bucket?, was a #1 New York Times bestseller. Rath's book, StrengthsFinder 2.0, is a long-running #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller and was listed by USA Today as the top-selling business book of 2008. Now, he and co-author Jim Harter, PhD., have written another soon-to-be best seller in Wellbeing: The 5 Essential Elements.
