(Hardcover)
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. Pindar's 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 giving—putting others' interests first and continually adding value to their lives—ultimately 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.”

February 20, 2010: I read this a couple of weeks ago and was so impressed with the storytelling and the clarity of the simple yet life-changing message that I bought a bunch of copies for my management team and sales force from B&N.
Definitely worth the read!Reader Rating:

January 02, 2010: Bob hit the nail on the head! I's about what we "give" in life, not what we "get". Like "Who Moved My Cheese", it teaches principles by telling a story. It is the story of a salesman who is a "Go-Getter" and learns to be a "Go-Giver". I also attended one of Bob's seminars and purchased his "Endless Referrals" CD series. He has a lot of wisdom to share. I have put his principles to work with great results. I have given his book to a number of people as gifts, and it makes a wonderful present.
