I have a great online mentor who recommended that I read the book “The Go Giver” by Bob Burg and John David Mann.
Now I love reading books, fiction and non-fiction – especially business books. I usually have three on the go at once so that whatever mood I am in I can pick up one or the other and enjoy them.
So this book arrived in the post around lunchtime on thursday last week so I thought I would have a quick read of the first chapter whilst I had my lunch.
An hour and a half later I had read the whole book – I just couldn’t put it down. It is a very inspirational story and one that is consistent with my values and thinking anyway. Any of you who have asked me to help them with their blogs will attest that I am always happy to lend a hand when I have time.
Its a story about a young man who has a deadline to hit and not long to do it. He is stressed and hassled and worried that he will yet again not reach his target for the quarterly figures at the company where he works.
He is introduced to a man who is calm, assured and successful without any of the status usually encountered with someone so obviously wealthy.
Anyway the young man is taken on a journey that transforms his thinking and he is completely changed at the end of it.
I don’t want to give the plot away but go and buy it as you will enjoy it and it will hopefully encourage you (if you don’t already) to help others rather than be pushy and status driven.
If you look it up on Amazon you should find it for about £12 or so..in the UK anyway!
If you have already read it let me know what you thought of it here with a comment!

Keith, thank you so much for your very kind review of John David Mann’s and my book. Very appreciated; honored, actually, that you felt it had value enough for you to blog about. Thanks again!
Hi Bob and John,
I loved the book as you can tell and it’s too good to keep to myself!
I will also be buying the new one as soon as it comes out.
Cheers
Keith
I heard about this book the other day and now I hear about it here. Maybe it’s a sign? Or maybe it’s just something I need to pick up. Cool review on this one, I’m off to either buy the book or at least put it on my wishlist.
Oh and how cool is that! Bob Burg commenting on your blog, too awesome!
