Marilyn Tam’s book lifts us out of the paradox of “self-help” books that, instead of simplifying, too often add to the ever-increasing maze of specialization and complexity. Taking responsibility for our own healing and happiness should not create more stress! As Marilyn shares her own story with truthfulness and vulnerability, a series of intuitively productive practices unfolds. Marilyn’s genius for solutions takes second place only to her capacity for reminding us how to ask ourselves the right questions, again and again, until the answers take root within our own soul.

I have read your book and it is just wonderful. I enjoyed the easy care style the book was written in. The practices are seriously encouraged, deeply soul searching, but casually introduced so the reader doesn't bolt on the requirements, but rather find it a refreshing and peaceful calling for the inner journey. Certainly, many are looking for this secret place and feel the calling, but not sure how to get there and a little afraid of added commitment. Your approach has an alluring affect on the psyche that is enticingly inviting. I am really proud to know you and all you have accomplished. I feel this book will have the same reaction on the reader because you give them an opportunity to know you. Your willingness to share your hardships and be vulnerable is the kind of approach which breeds friendship and trust, which is what a book of this caliber is all about.
Gayle Newhouse, co-Producer Tapping The Source Movie
“Your book was really timely. At the age of 63, I am still searching my purpose of life. My health-conscious eating and exercise habits help keep me very healthy and young physically and mentally. However I am still in the process of finding how this healthy old man can serve our society and especially my own happiness. Your book should be useful for this purpose. Thank you for writing this book.”

“Congratulations, Marilyn. Here are a couple observations I made when reading this: Speed - (Easy, Fast) Marilyn’s open communication style makes reading a pleasure, almost effortless. Character/Subject Development - –Marilyn has lived an admirable, truly inspiring life. I intend to read her other works to become more familiar with this exceptional woman.”

“After reading, Living the Life of Your Dreams I felt connected and the beauty of your words just seemed to speak to me. I am working on the exercises now hoping it will remind me to listen to my inner voice and restore my light. I am very inspired by your accomplishments and am looking to realign my inner compass to find inner peace. I have been blessed with creativity and the directions I keep moving in seem discouraging...I have little energy to keep driving myself but between your book and this awesome email (which I will print out and save) I already feel 10 million times better!
Truly, you are an amazing women and spirit and a gift to so many, many people including me. Thank you ever so much.
In kind and warmest regards“
Wendy Jae
“Thank you for the book. I thought it was great. But more importantly it was a good reminder for me to look more closely at my gifts and mission. The concept of being truly happy is an important one and getting caught up in the day to day of business "activity" can often pull you away from your mission.
Therefore I just wanted you to know that just by reading your story I was inspired to look closer at my own life and what I have to offer the world. Also as you so aptly put it in your book, to be grateful and acknowledge Spirit.“
