Hi All:

I like to recommend the book "The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful... ". I was attracted by the very high rating for this book at Amazon and I was not disappointed after reading this book.

Here is the cliff notes version of the book. Essentially it is a parable centered around the following five principles:

1. The law of compensation:
Your Income is determined by how many people you serve and how well you serve them.

2. The law of value:
Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.

3. The law of influence:
Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.

4. Law of authenticity:
The most valuable gift you have to offer is yourself.

5. The law of receptivity:
The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

Also the 113 reviewers at Amazon awarded this book a 4.8 point score, which is generally very rare.

If anyone else read this book, please share your thoughts.
