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. And so, one day, 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 share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him 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 - ultimately 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".

An Uncustomary Review of The Go-Giver, December 06, 2010
Reviewer: katherinepisana
I’m on a plane. I’m running on 4 hours of sleep and 12 hours of packing. I’m on email hiatus. I’m finally off of ‘trip planning’ mode. All the tickets are printed. The notes and memos and reminders are tucked away in pockets and sleeves and folders within bags. Now, I’m on vacation. Now, things happen.
“This should be a time to rest, to take a breather and to absorb the moment in all its pregnant emptiness. Instead, I find myself wanting to read – to engage my mind in someone else’s words. Even though my contacts are threatening to dry out soon, and even though I’m sleep deprived and somehow have managed to start feeling jet-lagged just two hours into my first of many flights, I can’t wait to crack open this new book!
