The Go-Getter: A Story That Tells You How to Be One by Peter B. Kyne

This book was first published in 1921 - long before The Greatest Salesman in the World or The One Minute Manager or a flood of the other business/self-help parables. Like them, this is a short book - 60 pages in my copy. Like them, it is a story.

It also happens to be an engaging, interesting, well told story too.

It doesn't have key points pulled out on separate pages, a pocket card to pull out or any other similar devices. It is a standalone story that is well worth reading. The title gives you an idea of the point of the story - and for me the book delivers.

Since it was written in the 1920's, the language is a bit different and it is stylistically different than a book written in the last few years. Rather than using that an excuse not to read it, consider that one more good reason to read it.

This book will provide you a short respite from the world with a good story, a new reading experience and a message worth remembering. We can choose to be a "go getter," and this book will provide both a reminder and a roadmap.
