THE GO-GIVER - EXPANDED EDITION

This is a new hardcover edition of the classic, internationally bestselling business parable The Go-Giver, featuring a new foreword by Arianna Huffington and a new introduction from the authors. Also new are a discussion guide and a Q&A with the authors.

First published in 2007, THE GO-GIVER has become a classic business parable. It’s sold over 250,000 copies in the US (near half a million worldwide) and won fans in many organizations.

A “go-giver” has become shorthand for the kind of person everyone wants to work with, who puts others’ interests first and focuses on providing value to others, rather than thinking only of making a profit.

The story introduces us to an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success, but 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 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.

Over the course of the heartwarming tale, Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving ultimately leads to unexpected returns.

This expanded reissue features:
· A new introduction chronicling the take-off of the book worldwide, its publication in over 20 languages, and how it’s been embraced by a variety of surprising and diverse industries.
· A new foreword by Arianna Huffington.
· A new Q&A with the authors addressing some of the many questions that have come in from fans, especially regarding how to apply the lessons that THE GO-GIVER has to offer.
