Chelle O’Connell, a new friend who just read The Go-Giver, writes in with this observation:
After 25 years of marriage, I realized that there is more than one meaning for the word “listen.”
My ex-husband frequently said, “You aren’t listening to me.” I would ask for his advice or input, and if I didn’t do as [...]
Thanks, everyone, for your comments on that last post!

Legal columnist and former trial lawyer Victoria Pynchon wrote a fascinating review of The Go-Giver that included some wonderful insights.
For example, the review starts right out by referring to the book as, “The Go-Giver: A Guide to a Life Lived Richly.” What a great way of holding the book’s message!

Half and half, I told him. There are bits and pieces of real people there—and also bits and pieces of real-life dialog and events. Glenn got such a kick out of some [...]
Michael Montgomery, a 19-year-old serial entrepreneur from Idaho, is creating a scholarship fund inspired by The Go-Giver. Says Michael:
“In my efforts to apply the Go-Giver philosophies more fully to my life and business, I’m establishing this long-winded title to a soon-to-exist scholarship: the Montgomery Enterprises LLC Scholarship for Aspiring Young Entrepreneurs.”
Applicants for the scholarship will [...]
Bradley Will, one of the four brilliant entrepreneurs behind “the Go-Giver Tour” (see here and here), has done something amazing. He has compiled a list of people he calls “100 Great Authors to Follow on Twitter for Business Success” — and you can find it here.
This list is a genuine treasure trove. With each listing, [...]
Just received our copies of the Afrikaans edition we wrote about a few weeks ago. Turning the book over, I found the endorsements by Stephen M.R. Covey and Pat Williams — and just above them, what looks like a fairly lengthy endorsement by someone I hadn’t heard of named Heinrich Kruger. (“Heinrich Kruger?” I heard [...]
Now and then we’ve posted updates about one foreign-language edition or another, but we thought it might be about time to give you an all-in-one-place update – because as of today, we’ve found twelve such editions on the market:
Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, French, Hebrew, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Spanish, Thai and Turkish.
Hey, a Go-Giver party game! [...]
