A big little book for the times reminding us it is better to give than to receive

The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea came to me through a strong recommendation from a good friend. The title plays off the Go-Getter attitude normally associated with reaching success in business and in one's personal life, but flips the true measure of success from the act of getting to the art of giving.

A thin book of 126 easy-reading pages, I read this powerful parable in one relatively short sitting outside on the deck of my favourite Starbucks on the planet (the chuckwagon-shaped former-Arby's Starby's on Rt. 66 in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA).

As the book explains, the go-getter is often going in the opposite direction of the Go-Giver. Working harder doesn't lead to success. Win-Win is not the solution. Going Fifty-Fifty is not enough. Rather, conscious and full 100% sharing with others leads to the greatest and happiest success. When on the teeter-totter of life, choose the Giving way.

The book is organized into short storied chapters describing the awakening of Joe, the protagonist. Joe viscerally experiences the Trade Secret and the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success through the kind tutelage of a cast of interconnected successful Go-Givers led by the enigmatic sage Pindar.

The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success shared in The Go-Giver are:

The Law of Value: Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

The Law of Compensation: Your income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.

The Law of Influence: Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.

The Law of Authenticity: The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.

The Law of Receptivity: The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

You will want to capture the missing depth to each law as told through this fresh and accessible book by adding it to your reading list. Unlike most books, you will be able to finish this book quickly with important value received for your effort.

As Martin Luther King is quoted on the book, "Everybody can be great because anybody can serve." Or, as the book rephrases Dr. King, "Everybody can be successful because anybody can give."

This little book packs a big punch!

I'm not used to finding a business book that I can't put down. The Go-Giver is written is such an easy to read, enjoyable style that I read it in one sitting. I love the simple yet powerful lessons in the book and look for ways to use these ideas in my life. After reading The Go-Giver I shared it with ten colleagues for our next business book club meeting - share it with your friends - they will be grateful you did.

The Go-Giver

This is the kind of book that you can't put down. As a matter of fact, I read it twice can plan to read it many more. The authors conveyed the go-giving principle in a most excellent way. I have personally given this book out to several people and will continue to do so. The principles outlined in this book apply to both business and personal living. The whole concept of giving is sound and does reap great rewards. I personally have experiences massive success from using what Bob Burg and John David Mann teaches in this book. Would I recommned it? With no question! As a matter of fact, order serveral copies and practice the Go-Giving principle. If more people practiced the 5-Laws to Stratopheric Success; this would be a different world. The good thing is that YOU can change your world by practicing to be a Go-Giver.

The Go-Giver is a Go-Winner

In a world that's been over-saturated with parables on business and life success, The Go-Giver is a standout. It is also a powerfully important message in a world where too many people are listening to radio station WIIFM.
