As suggested by the cover, it is a little story about a powerful business idea. And what is that powerful business idea?<\/p>\n<p>Giving !<\/p>\n<p>Yes. Giving. Give more to receive more. Add more value to get more money. Add value faster to get value faster.<\/p>\n<p>The authors present this central concept through protagonist Joe&#8217;s story. The parable is simple and the characters and story is predictable. However, it lives a good impression and sets you thinking. Hmm. This is special!<\/p>\n<p>The book is a good collection of the classical ideas. These principles are presented in form of The Five Laws of Stratospheric Success.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The Law of Value:<\/strong><br \/>\nYour true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. The Law of Compensation:<\/strong><br \/>\nYour income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. The Law of Influence<\/strong><br \/>\nYour influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people&#8217;s interests first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. The Law of Authenticity<\/strong><br \/>\nThe most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. The Law of Receptivity<\/strong><br \/>\nThe key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.<\/p>\n<p>The book also covers The Law of Attraction (The Secret is the best adaption) and the &#8216;Survive-Save-Serve&#8217; Concept.<\/p>\n<p>I agree to the &#8216;The Go-Giver&#8217; snapshot of the book<br \/>\n<em>Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb \u201cgive and you shall receive.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you want to read a short, quick and easy going inspirational book in simple English, try &#8216;The Go &#8211; Giver&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Related Reads:<\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.finance-weblog.com\/50226711\/book_review_the_gogiver.php\">Justin McHenry&#8217;s Review on Zen Personal Finance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.squidoo.com\/gogiver\">Squidoo Business on The Go-Giver<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloggernews.net\/113728\">Simon Barret&#8217;s Review<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, I read &#8216;The Go &#8211; Giver&#8216; by Bob Burg and John David Mann.
