Out of all the books that i have read, very few inspire me and move me in the way that The Go-Giver : A Little Story About A Powerful Business Idea by @Bob Burg does.
In summary, the book is about what happens when you change your focus from getting to giving— The book is based on the story of Joe through whom we are introduced to the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success.
For a better understanding of the principles in this book watch this Mixergy interview with Andrew Warner, The Author Bob Burg shows us how to sell more by being a “go-giver”.
As the book progresses , both Joe and us (as the reader), learns that when we change our focus from getting to giving – when we put others interests first, and when we continually add value to others lives – these actions will ultimately lead us to unexpected returns.
- 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.”

Hi Bob – Considering that you are one of my favourite Authors – I really am so honoured that you took time to comment on the post ! Your book resonates with me for so many reasons, especially since it encapsulates one of the most important principles my father told me to live my life by, before he passed away from Cancer…
I think that in todays “me-centric” personal branding focused world – the message in Go-Giver is more important than ever.
P.S : We have used some of your material from Go-Giver and Endless Material and Go-Givers Sell More in some of our training programs at work – to great effect!
