Book Description

25 Feb 2010

The international bestseller with a radically simple message.

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. One day, desperate to land a big deal at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his 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 broker, and the 'Connector' who brought them all together. Pindar's friends share the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach Joe 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 - 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.'

Product Description

Review

Most people don't have the guts to buy this book, never mind the will to follow through and actually use it. But you do. And I'm certain that you'll be glad you did. (Seth Godin, author of The Dip )

The Go-Giver is the best business parable since The Greatest Salesman in the World and The One Minute Manager. (Pat Williams, author of Souls of Steel, and senior vice president, Orlando Magic )

The Go-Giver is one of those rare books that entertains with a great storyline while simultaneously delivering an uplifting, life-affirming message that we can apply immediately. (Darren Richardson, author of Science of Mind )

Not since Who Moved My Cheese? have I enjoyed a parable as much as this. You owe it to yourself to read The Go-Giver and share its message with those who matter most to you. (David Bach, author of The Automatic Millionaire )

5.0 out of 5 stars Change your mind, change your life 9 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this little book on a recommendation from an Internet Marketer. It arrived the other morning, but I didn't get a chance to start reading it until the evening, after I'd finished a couple of private lessons. You know what? By bedtime I'd finished it. Couldn't put it down. That's a cliché, I know, but it happens to be true.

The principles this little book enshrines date back to the beginnings of organised religion, I suppose, but that's not so trendy these days, so they're now dressed up as business ideas. However, the foundation is rock-solid.

I always suspected I was on the right track, just not being systematic and methodical about it. This little book has shown me how to pull all the strings together in a very practical way.

I whole-heartedly recommend it to you. Buy it now.

4.0 out of 5 stars Business fable with solid principles 4 April 2008
By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
Bob Burg and John David Mann offer a business fable in a familiar mode: A mysterious mentor guides a troubled businessperson to secret truths and fabulous success. The pattern may be well worn, but the principles taught are pretty solid. While it seems unlikely that the quick success the story's characters find is commonly available to all those who live these "laws" based on authenticity and generosity, getAbstract does understand how observing them could make you happier and potentially more effective, and that's already a big step forward. The authors contend that like their hero, Joe, you can make your life sweeter and your success more meaningful by giving to others. Fact or fiction, it is hard to argue with that.
