This modern-day business parable, a quick read in the spirit of The Greatest Salesman in the World and The One Minute Manager, should do well with eager corporate-ladder climbers, who may at first be confused by its focus: on putting the other guy first-be it a colleague, competitor, customer, friend or family member. Told through the fictitious story of an ambitious young salesman named Joe, Burg and Mann communicate their points through the advice of an enigmatic (and highly likeable) mentor character known as Pindar. Rather than help Joe snag a fast sale, the consultant introduces him to series of "go-givers" who personify the "Five Laws of Stratospheric Success." Over the course of five days, a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial advisor, a real-estate broker and the mysterious "Connector" teach Joe about the laws of value, compensation, influence, authenticity and receptivity-concepts that make more immediate sense in this fictional context than they would

The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success.

Pindar’s friends teach Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and help him open himself up to the power of giving.

He invites and welcomes the reader to learn the business. He talks about his first vibraphone--"In order for me to play, my father had to build a platform the length of the instrument for me to stand on." He goes on to describe what it was like hearing jazz for the first time--Benny Goodman's "After You've Gone", and his subsequent search for jazz albums by Mingus, Brubeck, Blakey, and other jazz giants. I also appreciated that he did not talk about the ego and how it's something we have to kill. It's 84 pages in a form similar to a 3x5 card in size. The book is right very insightful. Thank you so much.. A pseudocereal is a grain that isn't related to the grass family. I knew I wanted to get control of the flashes of anger that could just pop out or the rush of fear that could be triggered by a single thought. The joys of being born human, the fact that our actions have consequences, the natural progression of growing older, becoming sick and dying, having compassion for all sentient b
