This book, The Go-Giver, by Bob Burg and John David Mann, has really touched my life in places I wasn’t expecting.
You have to check it out at the library; download the audio version that you can just listen to as you do other things; or just buy it. This book is more than a tool for business professionals.
It is a way of life. The 2nd day I was reading it, my wonderful husband and I seemed to have hit what I call a ‘rough patch in the road of marriage’. We weren’t talking – I remember thinking “Why can’t he understand Me” — Ah, well another chapter or 2 in this book and I realized My focus was in the wrong place. Instead I began to think – Why am I not thinking about how He feels. This is the man I’ve loved for 16 years; where am I at – lost.
This book is so about business too. The idea that the more you help your coworkers, fellow business folks and such; the more that you help yourself. This is an amazing idea. I think it’s also called social networking 🙂
Yes, helping others is what I believe in – to an extreme level. I think that we all feel that there is that thing you can do to serve this world; help others; or leave a lasting mark on those around you – how do we do that ? By giving of ourselves – another key element The Go-Giver is discussing.
This book is such an easy and great read that I have done it twice now. You have to check this little book out ASAP, folks. ~ Anita
