5.0 out of 5 stars TIGER TRAITS Reviewed by Ralph Williams, April 16, 2007

Nate Booth's Tiger Traits has a wonderful way of exposing the tiger inside each of us. Even better, Nate takes on the role of a seasoned, professional caddy and shows each of us how to play the championship course of life. As anyone who plays the game of golf will tell you, there's more than one set of tees to play from. After reading and applying Nate's observations, I will feel much more confident playing the game of life from the championship tees.

When Nate writes about discovering one's natural talents, he gives us clear direction on what we should look for. When it comes to our individual weaknesses, he shows us how to manage them with honor.

While many may buy this book because of its reference to Tiger, I recommend this book because it gives all of us a better chance to tap into the natural and developed gifts of the author, Nate Booth.

In closing, I bought a copy of Tiger Traits for each of our five grown sons. It's a club I want in each of their bags.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to find what you are good at and then use it to make your life better, April 6, 2007

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Tiger Traits: 9 Success Secrets You Can Discover From Tiger Woods to Be a Business Champion (Hardcover)

One of the staples in the business - motivation literature is the use of sports and sports heroes to illustrate a set of constructive traits the author shares with you. Here, Nate Booth has written a book that motivates the reader by illustrating the nine principles he provides in the book (and a tenth bonus principle online) through the life and career of the phenomenal golfer, Tiger Woods. The author is clear that Tiger has NOTHING to do with the book, does not endorse it, and is in no way affiliated with him. I guess this disclaimer is necessary in this age of total marketing, branding, and so forth. However, if you go to your bookstore and look at all the books based on the lives of various people without their endorsement, you could fill many shelves.

The main focus of the book, as I read it, is about taking control of your life by finding out what you are truly good at (the author provides you with some sound ways to tell), to develop a compelling dream around that talent, to get the right role models - teachers - supporters who will help you along the path, being confident, getting the right mental models, talk through actions, continually improve, be likeable (as an aside, while Tiger is famous and charismatic, I am not sure he is necessarily likeable nor am I sure he is concerned about it), and giving back.

Booth provides a post nine-hole (nine-principle) cool down where he summarizes of what he was trying to teach through the book and hopes the reader has learned. He also offers some recommended reading.

The book is NOT only about Tiger. Booth provides some excellent quotes from all kinds of past greats, from Aristotle, Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill, Mark Twain, Walt Disney, and even Jiminy Cricket (and many others). I enjoyed these brief quotations a great deal.

If you enjoy motivational reading and are interested in Tiger Woods, this is a book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be The Tiger - Nate Booth's Tiger Traits, January 16, 2010

This review is from: Tiger Traits: 9 Success Secrets You Can Discover From Tiger Woods to Be a Business Champion (Hardcover)

Now with the recent scandal people may see the title of Nate Booth's book from 2007 and dismiss it or criticize the book for the recent revelations of man's unique weaknesses and foibles. They would be missing out on a wonderful, practical book of inspiration and genuine motivation were they to overlook this gem from Nate Booth.

Every man (and woman) is imperfect and Nate even addresses that within the 9 points of this book around identifying, grappling with, and managing each of our weaknesses.

This is a book of 9 Success Secrets which are exemplified by Tiger Woods (ah, still ground breaking in race, in youth, in

multiple wins as a standout world class athlete) which professionals can apply to Business Success.

Tiger Trait #1: Identify and Develop Natural Talents

Tiger Trait #2: Create a Clear and Compelling Dream

(this is SO imperative for success in any endeavor!)

Tiger Trait #3: Select Teachers, Heroes, and Teammates Who Guide, Inspire, and Support

Tiger Trait #4: Be Confident

Tiger Trait #5: Manufacture Magnificent Mental Models

Tiger Trait #6: Let Actions Do the Talking

Tiger Trait #7: Constantly Improve in Good Times and Bad

(something which we all need to practice, indeed)

Tiger Trait #8: Be Likeable

Tiger Trait #9: Be Grateful, Give Back

I highly recommend this for anyone in business wanting to focus on improving their life and business success factors.
