Such meaningful words - a testament to the magical way in which paths crisscross in unexpected ways. This book is most certainly one I would recommend to you, particularly as a way to reinforce the healing of the heart. Best of luck on Tuesday.

The Uncustomary Review of The Go-Giver has just been listed on the The Go-Giver website: http://www.thegogiver.com/extras/reviews/. Thanks guys!

Will do Bob! I'll give her a call right now!

What encouraging words! And coming from such a wonderful writer, they mean all the more! Thank you, John.

Yes, the concluding note...
Reading The Go-Giver felt like stepping under a mountainous cascade of illumination. It's the sort of experience that reaffirms one's deepest suspicions of what life is 'supposed' to be like, and offers the reader permission to believe what sometimes feels like fairytale.

I am an optimist, a visionary and a doer. I know that some people don't like that. Your book reminded me that there are also people who support the change agents walking inconspicuously along the side of the road, working within to manifest limitlessness in this world.

And as for the other quotes, here they are:

"You get what you expect." (p.15)

"A bad restaurant...tries to give just enough food and service, both in quantity and quality, to justify the money it takes from the customer. A good restaurant strives to give the most quantity and quality for the money it takes...But a great restaurant...strives to defy imagination! Its goal is to provide a higher quality of food service than any amount of money could possibly pay for." (p.28)

"Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment." (p.29)

"Your compensation is directly proportional to how many lives you touch." (p.45)

"...you get to determine your level of compensation - it's under your control. If you want more success, find a way to serve more people. It's that simple...it also means there are no limitations on what you can earn, because you can always find more people to serve." (p.46)

"...I saw that my old belief system was only getting in the way. It wasn't serving. So I decided to change it." (p.48)

"...in any business - you also need to know how to develop a network. Do you know what I mean by 'network'?...I don't necessarily mean your customers or clients. I mean a network of people who know you, like you and trust you. They might never buy a thing from you, but they've always got you in the back of their minds...They're the people who are personally investing in seeing you succeed...and of course, that's because you're the same way about them. ..you want to know what makes that kind of network happen...?...Stop keeping score." (p.65-6)

"If you place the other person's interests first, your interests will always be taken care of. Always. Some people call it enlightened self-interest. Watch out for what other people need, with the faith that when you do, you'll get what you need." (p.68)

It's reassuring to know that anyone, be it a man or a woman, still remembers how to peel him or herself away from technology long enough to awaken to the physical reality passing them by, all too often unnoticed. Yes, most women would interpret such perceptiveness as threatening, but that doesn't mean that women are right. Sometimes, it takes the gentle persistence of a man falling in love to help the woman get on the same page. After that, it's all about learning how to read at the same pace.

So who are the best flirtexters: men, writers, or Twitter fanatics?

There are so many invaluable reminders in this piece - things that are so easy to forget yet the most important to remember. Thank you for the reminder :)

Talking about other guys she's dating or interested in could be her way of revealing herself to you as a sexual being without actually taking the risk of directly telling you she wants to be a sexual being with you. Being in the 'friend zone' gives you access to everything a woman is hiding from 'other guys'. Are you seriously saying you don't know how to work with that?! Dude!

Brilliant! I've included her to the list, as is only right, and I've just added her versions of 'O Barquinho' and 'Insensatez' to my personal library. Thank you for the worldly recommendation. Keep them coming my pretties!

When's the book coming out?
