Making Your Family Happy

Cherie Carter-Scott Ph.D.. If Success Is a Game, These Are the Rules: Ten Rules for a Fulfilling Life. Broadway,
0767904265 Amazon.com The definition of success (at least in America) is outward accomplishment, whether it's amassing a fortune or leaving a legacy of influence. But a personal sense of well-being or fulfillment--finding love and time with family--is often the inward measurement of success. The two need not be mutually exclusive, says Cherie Carter-Scott, an internationally recognized motivational speaker and management consultant who's written several other "rule" books, such as If Love Is a Game, These Are the Rules. She says that success is achieved only "when your own sense of well being and the extended symbols of accomplishment converge," a feat she says can be met by following her 10 basic guidelines about self-acceptance and self-motivation. Fortunately, her rules are easy to follow--no misty metaphors or perplexing parables. Each chapter is neatly devoted to a specific rule, such as "your actions affect your outcomes," or "success is a process that never ends." Real-life stories illustrate each rule, making the advice feel personal and applicable. When addressing rule 2, "wanting success is the first step in attaining it," Carter-Scott helps readers handle sabotaging loved ones who may feel threatened or jealous by your success, such as the mother who didn't want her son to apply to medical school because he might not be able to handle the rejection, or the so-called "best friend" who always insulted her friend's new clothing business. In the chapter on rule 3, "self-trust is essential," we meet Paul, the miserable banker who yearned to be an art dealer but wore the "golden handcuffs" of his big salary. A few years after analyzing his life and deciding to make a change, "Paul has become a successful art dealer, making close to the same salary he was making before," writes Carter-Scott. "Only now it brings him joy rather than binding him to his life." Although some of the examples may feel predictable, Carter-Scott's warm, folksy style should appeal to many readers, helping them to identify goals and follow through on them. --Gail Hudson From Publishers Weekly In another winner from the author of the bestselling If Life Is a Game/If Love Is a Game series, Carter-Scott gently expresses her wisdomDeven if she doesn't break any new ground in the inspirational field. Careful not to define success as financial prosperity, Carter-Scott eloquently encourages readers to realize their own goals and dreams, not society's vision for them. To that end, she offers simple, profound suggestions for identifying and attaining personally defined success. Her approach is more philosophical and less dogmatic, and her voice is more engaging, than those in many self-help books covering the same territory. Respectful of her readersDshe addresses them as intelligent adults capable of introspection, analysis and changeDCarter-Scott suggests challenging exercises for self-discovery (such as writing one's life story and identifying role models) as well as for finding one's gifts, overcoming limiting beliefs and "stay[ing] positive." Her comments on time management and working cooperatively with others are similarly valuable gems. Agent, Debra Goldstein at the Creative Culture. Simultaneous BDD Audio. (Dec..-- positive." Her comments on time management and working cooperatively with others are similarly valuable gems. Agent, Debra Goldstein at the Creative Culture. Simultaneous BDD Audio. (Dec.) Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc. From AudioFile After making the point that success can mean many things to different people, the author gives a complete array of strategies for achieving whatever the heart desires. She says you must start with a base of personal security and an informed sense of inner purpose. Know thyself; like thyself. But also keep an eye out for signals and opportunities in the outside world. The 10 achievement rules are state-of-the-art and nicely illustrated with personal and historical references. The pacing of words and ideas is perfect, and the tone strikes a good balance between lively enthusiasm and mature conviction. It's all about desire, she says, and being mindful about the actions we take or don't take toward our goals.

Bushman, Jennifer: KITCHEN COACH: WEEKNIGHT COOKING, Hoboken, N.J. Wiley, John & Sons, Incorporated 2004
ISBN: 0-7645-4314-8 As New

<strong> Kitchen Coach Jennifer Bushman can help you get good food on the table Monday to Friday and enjoy making it! She'll help you set up an efficient kitchen and identify the weeknight cooking challenges you may face -- working late, keeping to a budget, pleasing picky eaters, juggling family schedules -- then guide you to great recipes to suit your need or mood of the day. <P> You and your family will be glad you cooked! SYNOPSIS Wouldn?t it be great to view weeknight cooking as a pleasure rather than a chore? Or to break away from takeout and convenience foods and enjoy making home-cooked meals that fit into your schedule and your life? Now you can! Jennifer Bushman-the Kitchen Coach-can show you how. Bushman knows that with all your family has going on, it can be a challenge to cook regularly on weeknights. In Kitchen Coach: Weeknight Cooking, she provides you with the core essentials of efficient techniques, creative recipes, and lots of tips to make you a confident cook, but also goes beyond that to give you the inspiration you need to make it happen. Bushman encourages you to lose yourself a little more in the sensory experience of cooking-the fragrance of a deliciously garlicky sauce, the sounds of sizzling stir-fry-to make it more personally satisfying. And she gives you tools to help you prepare dishes that work with the real situations you face in your life-whether you are tired, busy, stressed, or have picky eaters in your family. Check the "cheat sheet" up front for some great suggestions for a variety of weeknight challenges. The 150 family-tested recipes are also grouped together by theme or situation to make it easier to prepare dishes that fit into your life. Have you got chicken in the freezer? Then look to "It?s Chicken, Tonight!" for ideas. Do you feel like making something a little exotic? Try the "Flavors of the Mediterranean" or "Asian Express" chapters. There?s something satisfying to make on every page, from Fettuccine with Mushroom Cream Sauce to Lemon Roasted Chicken to Moroccan-Spiced Grilled Strip Steaks with Couscous. And they can all be made on a weeknight! Being a mom, Bushman also offers recipes and ideas for when your children want to cook, or you need to prepare lunches or snacks for the kids on a school night. Follow her lead and help them make Oven Fries with Cheese or serve the class Mom?s Peanut Butter Cookies; they will eat every bite and love you all the more for making the effort. Each recipe features tips on ingredients and techniques to help cooking go more smoothly. Every recipe is also tagged with meal-planning cues-Easy Preparation, Make-Ahead, Take Along, Something Special-to help you choose a recipe. So don?t let daily hassles keep you from enjoying fresh, real food. Cook something, with the help of the Kitchen Coach. FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly Practical tips trump celebrity gloss in this handy first offering from Bushman, owner of a Nevada cooking school and a syndicated TV cook. Bushman swears "cooking even a couple of times a week will make you happier." Her formula for achieving domestic bliss-choosing simple, fresh ingredients that stimulate the senses while offering a healthful alternative to prepared food and takeout-isn't news, but the 150 recipes offer some pleasingly creative ways of transforming basic ingredients, seen in such recipes as Penne with Puttanesca Sauce, as well as "spa" recipes like Linguine with Tomato-Fennel Sauce, which offers a fancier alternative for only marginally more prep time. While the book's 23 chapters present an array of cuisines, with chapters on how to prepare simple Asian, Mexican and Mediterranean meals, Bushman also pays tribute to unfussy comfort foods like Quick Macaroni and Cheese. Bushman's casual, fun approach to dining (relax, let your senses guide you, eat breakfast at dinner time if it makes you happy) should appeal to busy cooks. Photo insert not seen by PW.
