Then again, most people are nowhere near as successful as they wish they were.” The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. 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.

They apply to business but also in all that we do in our personal lives. If we all started to give and to cooperate, to collaborate extensively, and to put the others before us, all would change for the good. I would encourage everyone to give these theories a try and get back to the authors of the book with sensitive evidence of the results. Thank you, Bob!!!. Martha G. said Great message & a great gift. I'd first read the Go-Giver a few years ago and loved it. The ideas about contributing value and being other-oriented on your path to business and life satisfaction and success struck a chord.Such an easy book to read, I finished it on a trip and handed it over to my travel companion with the suggestion: Read this on the way home! She paid that gift forward almost immediately by passing it along to her sister and then I lost track of the journey of that little shared book.Over the years I've purcha.

This book made my heart happy because it relays so many of the princi
