Format:Paperback
Marilyn Tam's book puts into clear perspective the tradeoffs of modern life and the toll they can take on your spirit. If you have already gotten to the point where you realize that climbing the ladder and acquiring possessions doesn't do it for you any more, where do you go from there? Serving humanity and following your bliss sounds great, but is it practical when you have a mortgage to pay and kids to educate? How do you find the way to sustain body and soul?
Well you start by tuning into your own needs. Even a super-achiever like Tam found that she was putting herself last in line and draining herself in the process.
She offers a great quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes: "Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out." This is a very sobering wake-up call, whatever age you are. Only when we stop of neglecting our own needs and restore balance to our lives, says Tam, can we have the energy to make "the positive difference that is my destiny."
With easy, step-by-step instructions, she helps you reconnect with your dreams and plot your course to a satisfying and meaningful life. Whatever your stage in life, even if you have been up many blind alleys, you will still find valuable advice on how to make useful course corrections. "Living the Life of Your Dreams" can be read in one sitting, and it is well worth your while.

Format:Paperback
This great book, Living the Life of Your Dreams, is little but certainly mighty! Most people are either in fear or overwhelmed in life and don't find the time or energy to just sit and figure out, "What is my dream?"This book helped me to stop and take a deep breath and evaluate my life, wishes and dreams!
As a photographer, I am always drawn in by the cover of a book. I think the cover speaks of Marilyn Tam's journey of finding the flow in her life! Her story is inspiring, going from an unwanted young girl in Hong Kong to becoming a very successful business woman in America, a global humanitarian and international speaker.
When you want advice on dreams, you go to someone who has successfully lives their own. This book is filled with great teaching and inspiration!
