About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 audiences find fulfilment and greater success in business, in their personal lives and in their communities.

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.

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 many devotees simply as the Chairman. Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of successful 'go-givers' who 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 results.

The Go-Giver is a classic best seller that brings to life the old proverb 'give and you shall receive'.

"Most people don't have the guts to buy this book, never mind the will to follow through and actually use it. But you do. And I'm certain that you'll be glad you did." (Seth Godin, best-selling author of This Is Marketing)

An excellent story to portray a fundamental, yet often overlooked aspect of commerce. If people especially in business, adopted these fundamental laws, this world would truly be a great place

Interesting and thought provoking case and set of principles as to how to prioritise putting other people’s interests first is the key to a successful life.

Not sure about the emphasis on sales examples is quite as aligned with the key message and principles.
