Book Description

According to common wisdom, Marilyn Tam didn't thave the advantages needed to get ahead in the world. English was her second language, she suffered abuse and lack of support from her family, had no connections, and began a career in the male-dominated business world. But Marilyn discovered that her "disadvantages" provided her with the strength to creat the career and life she always dreamed of. Not only has Marilyn achieved phenomenal success in business, holding executive roles at companies such as Aveda, Reebok, and Nike, but she has also pursued her dream of helping others by founding a non-profit organization. How did she beat the odds? In How To Use What You've Got To Get What You Want, Marilyn Tam shares the philosophy that has taken her to the pinnacle of personal and professional success. In her work and life, Marilyn lives by four simple principles: tell the truth all the time (it's easier), make others your partner in your success (work from common ground), make big mistakes (big mistakes are the byproduct of making big strides), and die by your own sword (better to fight and die by your own ideas and conviction's than anyone else's). Founded in integrity, courage, flexibility, and collaboration, these principles contradict much of the standard thinking about success. Marilyn isn't your standard success story - but she just might be the inspiration you need to become the hero in your own life.

Good book for women in business.......2005-01-29

Women have a hard time in business. Lots of business books for women focus on the fluff: the suit, the hair, the shoes.
This book focuses on the person, and how to. It focuses on the work and doesn't leave out the spiritual side.

The reason I didn't give it five stars was I wish it had been a bigger book, going into greater depth and specifics. But it was good.

ONE OF A KIND STANDOUT.......2004-09-29

THERE ARE MANY BOOKS THAT PURPORT TO HELP ANYONE GET ANTHING THEY TRULY WANT. HOWEVER, THERE'S A REASON ADVANCED PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK READS LIKE A WHO'S WHO OF POWERFUL LEADERSHIP IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY. RANGING FROM THE FOUNDER OF AVEDA AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE M.K.GANDHI INSTITUTE FOR NONVIOLENCE TO JOAN BORYSENKO,PH.D AND BEN COHEN (OF BEN & JERRY'S,) ALL RECOGNIZE THIS IS NOT A BOOK OF PLATITUDES BUT OF TRUTH. FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE MANY AUTHORS IDENTIFY TELLING THE TRUTH AS A MORAL IMPERATIVE, CAUSING THEIR READERS TO NOD THEIR HEADS WITH A PERFUNCTORY "OF COURSE," MARILYN TAM RELATES TELLING THE TRUTH TO THE WORLD WE RECOGNIZE AND IDENTIFY WITH:"OFTEN, WE SAY WHAT WE THINK OTHERS WANT TO HEAR TO KEEP THEM HAPPY. WHEN THE TRUTH COMES OUT LATER, EVERYONE IS UNHAPPY. MORE IMPORTANT, THERE IS LESS TIME TO FIX WHATEVER YOU WERE AFRAID TO SAY IN THE FIRST PLACE." READING THAT LAST SENTENCE, I DIDN'T JUST NOD BUT PAUSED TO THINK ABOUT THAT INSIGHT. AND THAT'S JUST ONE TINY EXAMPLE OF WHAT I FOUND SO THOUGHT-PROVOKING ABOUT THIS FASCINATING BOOK. Margaret Lobenstine, M.A. (author of Random House/Doubleday/Broadway's forthcoming SECRETS OF THE RENAISSANCE SOUL: How to Make "Too Many Interests" Work For You.

An Absolutely MUST Read.......2004-06-23

According to an old Chinese proverb, "When the student is ready the teacher will come." This is exactly how I felt while reading Marilyn Tam's book, How to Use What You've Got To Get What You Want. While many business books inspire vision, or action, or discuss the nuts and bolts of different aspects of business development, Marilyn's book is different. Though she does all these things in her positive and inspiring book, she takes it a step further by describing the journey of business creation as one that is deeply personal and requires intelligence, knowledge and talent.

As if this isn't enough, the design of this book is brilliant. Each chapter contains clearly written and doable "Action Points" which helps the reader implement the material immediately. This is just another example of the depth of understanding that the author possesses. Aware of the hectic lives we all lead, Marilyn created a workable way of helping readers to quickly digest this valuable information.

Perhaps the most important aspects of How To Use What You've Got To Get What You Want are the integrity and ethics that resonate throughout the book. Current business texts often stresses monetary success over "doing what is right." It is inspiring to read about a prosperous woman who places morals as the source from which her energy flows.

Along with the spiritual and personal overtones of the book are "hard" business recommendations. For example statements such as, "To thrive in life and in business, you need integrity, heart, intuition, and tenacity," are balanced with others lik, "You have to do the research and determine that there is a demand for and feasibility to your dream before you start to build the product or services to meet the demand." The weaving together of philosophy and pragmatic guidance makes this book essential reading for every woman who desires a life with breadth, meaning and passion.

There are hundreds of business books that suggest ways to succeed in business. There are far less that reveal how to live a successful life in and out of business. In How to Use What You've Got to Get What You Want, Marilyn Tam reveals her secret recipe for living an authentic and ethically driven life that won't leave you asking, "is that all there is?" at the end of yours.

HTGWYW is based on a foundation of four principles: always telling the truth; partnership; being willing to make mistakes as part of the learning process (and there are plenty to learn from in the book), and dying by your own sword or standing on your convictions.

The book goes on to explore Marilyn's personal and business life to reveal how she applied her foundational principles. In a simple sentence Marilyn suggests how to thrive in life and business. "You need integrity, heart, intuition and tenacity."

Derived from her many years with Nike, Reebok, Aveda and other companies she felt in tune with including her own non-profit, The Us Foundation, (There is no them, just us), this book is a treasure chest of great practical ideas based on real world experience told in a passionate way. In today's world where business corruption and deception seem to be the norm rather than the exception, it's rare to find business ethics and personal growth combining to make a difference in the world but that is what Marilyn has spent her life doing. Her mission drives her life and her passion and brilliance at living it jump off the pages and into your heart and mind if you are ready. This little book is a valuable tool and prescription for living an authentic and soul satisfying life and I heartily recommend it along with Mark Albion's Making a Life, Making a Living as books that will help you live a deep and meaningful life in a world far too often focused on the externalities of life at the expense of our inner wisdom.

I have gone through a lot of slow cooker recipe books, but this one has proven itself to be one of the best. It's packed full of quick and easy (but most importantly TASTY!) recipes. The author has included a wide variety of dishes, as well - anything you can think of is in this one. Definitely a must for the slow cooker enthusiast! You'll be hard-pressed to find a better one.

Excellent Cook Book!.......2006-09-01

This book is a wonderful collection of recipes for the slow cooker. There are a great variety of recipes in this book. Definitely a must have for the busy family as you can prepare the meal before work and have a hot meal waiting for you at home. Using a crock pot slow cooker is especially nice during the summer months so you can still have a good meal without having to heat up the whole house with an oven. So this book gives you a nice selection of meals to try and choose from. This book is definitely a family favorite.

4 1/2* And a one and a two and a three and a four!.......2005-06-01

This very colorful counting book tells the story of Noah and the Ark, borrowing heavily from an old spiritual rather than the somewhat fearful Biblical account. Instead of the flood's moral complexities, illustrator Joan Paley's introduction simply tells readers that there are "many days and nights of rain." This is an excellent approach for those needing only a secular version.

The spiritual's lyrics (the books shows the musical notes as well) are as follows:

"Old Noah built a great big Ark, There's one more river to cross.
He patched it up with hickory bark, There's one more river to cross.
One more river, and that's the river of Jordan.
One more river, There's one more river to cross."

In her adaptation, Joan Paley changes the first two lines to describe the varying types and numbers of animals entering the Ark; for example, above a two-page picture of two hopping kangaroos (with the number `2' in the corner), she writes:

"The animals went in two by two,
There's one more river to cross,
"Let's hop right in," said the kangaroo,
There's one more river to cross."

Similarly, three bears, four bulls, five llamas, six monkeys, seven flamingos, eight aardvarks, and nine turtles ("in slow green lines"), and ten hens arrive at the ark, and they safely cross the river Jordan and land "on Ararat." Paley specializes in collages, and these boldly colored collages of large foreground animals were constructed from paper shapes colored with watercolors, crayon, pastel, colored pencils, and oil paints. In an unusual bit of puffery, the publishers choose to inform us that "the layered shapes create a three-dimensional effect." The overlays of scribble-scrabble crayon, pastel, and pencil give the otherwise very professional drawings an appealing look, as if a child prodigy drew them, but the effect is texture, not dimension. If anything, since the emphasis is so focused on the foreground, the perspective is fairly flat. Not until the last page do we see a more conventional presentation of fore-, mid-, and background.

The writing is appropriate for the toddler age group, with a hint of humor ("Noah laughed at the monkey's tricks," above a spread showing them swinging on a branch; an elephant "chewing a honey bun" --to rhyme with "one by one"), but sometimes it's fairly mundane, and, at worse, a bit forced: "Five fluffy llamas did arrive." Still, the link with the spiritual and the big, bright animal pictures provide ample opportunity for classroom or playroom sing-along counting fun.
