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?

      Culled from her life story and her experience as a CNBC anchor and host/managing editor of Wall Street Journal Report, for which she's covered the rise and collapse of numerous business titans, financial journalist Bartiromo examines ten attributes that lead to well-rounded success. From self-knowledge to initiative to integrity, each quality is illuminated by Bartiromo's own candor, wisdom, and optimism, as well as insights from figures like Bill Gates, Sarah Palin, Charles Schwab, Deepak Chopra, Bono and Joe Torre. Using a conversational woman-of-the-people tone, Bartiromo surveys the hills and valleys of her subjects' lives, focusing on the persistent qualities that have kept them in the game. Some of her most powerful stories, however, are her own, illuminating her professional journey as well as her life with husband Jono Steinberg (a business heir with his own struggles), parents and extended family. Fans of Bartiromo's work and on-air personality will find this a lively guide to her personal philosophy of success, with inspiring, resonant lessons for weary business executives and college graduates wondering "What now?"
