A new edition with expanded content is available now, The Go-Giver, Expanded Edition: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea An engaging book that brings new relevance to the old proverb Give and you shall receive The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. And so one day, desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman. Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of go-givers: a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial adviser, a real estate broker, and the Connector, who brought them all together. Pindars friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving. Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to givingputting others interests first and continually adding value to their livesultimately leads to unexpected returns. Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb Give and you shall receive. From the Hardcover edition.

While browsing FB, I saw this book recommended on a friend‘s timeline. The girl said it is a must read. I found it on hoopla. I thought it wouldn‘t be of much value to me since I don‘t work and am disabled. I was wrong. This is a really good book full of a lot of good advice.

A light read with a good narrative. This fictional story has reinforced some of the best advice I‘ve ever received - be invaluable.

If you want to be successful in life you have to give, to serve and to put the interests of others before your own. Remember the five laws of stratospheric success: value, compensation, influence, authenticity and receptivity. Together, they add up to the strongest building block for business – generosity.

Reading by the moonlight, great book but I must confess that I'm too much distracted by our moon #latepost who else likes to read by moonlight?

It's company #bookclub time! There's a whole industry built around simple principles. This is just another one that focuses in on what we all know: Give and you shall receive. The hard part isn't the doing. The hard part is the remembering to do it. #simple #summer #bookclub

kuhkuhbird @MyBookSwapClub Twice a year, the leadership team of the company I work for pick a book. Folks like me open their homes to fellow employees for food, fellowship, and book talk! Great way to engage with people not in your department. (edited) 7y

Pretty much. Most friends just think I'm weird. And that's ok. Image Credit: Jane Austen Centre
