  So in 1996, Marcus Buckingham burst onto the scene talking about these things called strengths and how to harness them in a mega bestseller called the first break all the rules.

  That was followed a couple years later by a book called now discover your strengths, which he co wrote with Donald Clifton, who's kind of like the father of strengths.

  And it was all about helping people flourish in work and life.

  And that became a lifelong obsession of his, leading to a really widely acclaimed, deeply rewarding career as a researcher, developing strengths based tools and insights, first at Gallup and then launching his own consulting firm, the Marcus Buckingham company.

  And his latest book, nine lies about work, takes an in depth look at some of the biggest lies that pervade the way that we work, the way that we build organizations and lead some of the biggest mistakes that we make in building our own careers and in leading ourselves and others.

  And he also then reveals some of the deeper truths or antidotes that put us back on the right track.

  In today's conversation, we dive into all of this, his own personal journey, encyclopedic knowledge of data and information and wisdom, just dropping almost nonstop about the way we work.

  So fascinating, so illuminating, both to get to know him as a person and his deep and insightful and incredibly valuable mind when it comes to the way that we make decisions about our own work and life.

  I grew up.

  I grew up just outside London, a little town called Radler, which is about 20 minutes outside London.

  And then my parents split up, and my mum moved into Notting Hill, and my dad just moved outside the m 25 I grew up with.

  I had an elder brother and a younger sister, and my brother was a really good pianist and a great composer and just super talented musically.
