Book Review: Don't Waste This Crisis By Sitting Still
Summary: 5 Stars
As an instructor, I am always asked by students and peers "what are you reading?" and "Why do you like it?" Most of the books I read for professional purposes are around decision making, emotional intelligence, and on commodities, such a crude oil or cocoa. It's great to read a book that can benefit a wide array of people from diverse backgrounds - white or blue collar. This is such a book and I heartily recommend it.
Despite what you may think, Bartiromo is from a very humble, working-class background, having been raised in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. She had a vision for what she wanted, followed her heart, and made it happen with a lot of love and support from her parents Josephine and Vincent, and from her sister who she is very close with.
With Catherine Whitney, Bartiromo has written a compelling case for not feeling sorry for yourself and taking control of where you want to be in your life. The book is full of candor not normally associated with someone who you'd consider "image-conscious."
I wrote an article about Bartiromo and 10 Laws at the Huffington Post. Below are the first three paragraphs:
A good teacher will help aggregate information and condense it for you in an organized manner. A great teacher will passionately help you discover the ability you have inside yourself and help you culture that pearl, so that your feelings and intellect become your allies.
Such is the approach Maria Bartiromo has taken in her new book, 10 Laws of Enduring Success, written with Catherine Whitney. The book details the events that Bartiromo had to overcome and the manner in which she had to persist from her days as a young girl in Brooklyn, to becoming the woman the world knows her as today.
The result is an inspiring and highly motivational book that is perfectly timed for today's business environment. It doesn't pander to her constituents on Wall St. either: it's equally motivating to white and blue collars - and especially to women. While reading it, I kept thinking how this book reminded me of 2 other inspiring reads I recommend to my students: Napolean Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" and Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People."

Summary of The 10 Laws of Enduring Success
The times have changed. We need a fresh understanding of the meaning of success.What do Condoleezza Rice, Joe Torre, Bill Gates, Goldie Hawn, Mary Hart, Garry Kasparov, and Jack Welch have in common?
All have talked at length with Maria Bartiromo about business, the world and their surprising, inspiring and uncommon ideas about the meaning of success. Their stories, those of an extraordinary range of other people from all walks of life, and Maria Bartiromo?s personal insights are the foundation of The 10 Laws of Enduring Success. It is the guide for the extraordinary times we are living through.
During bullish, optimistic periods, people seem to ride an upward wave with ease and confidence. The tangible evidence is right there for all to see--in their jobs, bank accounts, homes, families, and the admiration of their peers. But it is a fact of life that success, once earned, is not necessarily there to stay. If ever there was a cautionary tale about the fleeting nature of success, it is the events of recent years.
But a funny thing happened. Faced with gut-wrenching realities, many people have started to re-evaluate the meaning of success in less superficial and impermanent ways. They're asking themselves hard questions that have
long been ignored: about what's really important to them, and where the bedrock of their personal achievement lies.
As Maria Bartiromo watched the financial drama from her front-row seat at the New York Stock Exchange, she began to re-assess the meaning of success--not just as one-off achievements, but as a durable, lifelong pursuit. Is there, she wondered, a definition of success that you can have permanently--in spite of the turmoil in your life, your job, or your bank account? This question is more important than ever, given the unpredictability of the current economy.
--What are the intangibles that can't be measured or counted?
--What are the qualities that aren't reflected in your title or on your business card?
--And more practically, how can you remain successful even when the worst things happen to you?
--Is it possible to build success from failure? It's lonely at the bottom of the heap, when your BlackBerry stops buzzing, and the world moves on without you.
Everyone wants to be close to success, and to have success. But what is success? How do you get it, and how do you keep it? As Maria interviewed some of the most successful people in the world, she felt the need to answer these questions: what makes these success stories tick? How did they achieve such leadership and power and how can one hold onto it, once you get it. What are the barriers to success and what is the bedrock to enduring success?
