"Most people just laugh when they hear that the secret to success is
giving. . . . 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. 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. 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 teach Joe
the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and help him 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 classic bestseller that
brings to life the old proverb "Give and you shall receive."
Nearly a decade since its original publication, the term "go-giver" has
become shorthand for a defining set of values embraced by hundreds of
thousands of people around the world. Today this timeless story
continues to help its readers find fulfillment and greater success in
business, in their personal lives and in their communities.
This expanded edition includes the text of the original business
parable, together with a foreword by Arianna Huffington, a new
introduction, a discussion guide, and a Q&A with the authors.
