Remember that interesting thing that Peterson and Seligman have told us at various times - that a person’s strength sometimes most comes out in a period of intensity? Your article reminded me of that. That there are some strengths that are consistent, day-to-day, and some that are called on in intense times.

I really like the four components of a voice. I have looked through the book, but not yet read it, and what you wrote makes the book sound interesting. Because of the emphasis on spiritual (i.e. conscience, morality), this four-part characterization also reminded me of the book about energy (this was a recent HBS article) The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz. In that book, Loehr and Schwartz talk about managing four types of energies: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual (i.e. self-discipline and focus).

Thanks!
