I received this book on October 27th, when you said that I would. I appreciate that I got it then. I have read it and it is a very good book and short as I am a slow reader. It is a good book of encouragement as to what a person stives to do in life can be accomplished if we strive hard to do it no matter the obstacles maybe in our way.

It's a little book with a lot of inspiration. First published in 1921, Kyne's fable about Mr. Peck illustrates the value of never quitting and completing your goals. While the tale is told simply and without a lot of flowery language, the message itself is entirely worth the hour or so it took me to read. It's only a little over 80 pages long, and the print is large!

The Go Getter by Peter B. Kyne was first introduced to me as an audio tape from Robert Allen's "Challenge" seminar in 1987. It was fantastic motivation that I still treasure.
The story of the blue vase has motivated me and encouraged me in business and life to never give up. It has inspired me to accomplish what some consider impossible tasks with the words "it shall be done" ingrained in my mind.
About two years ago, my wife found it on Amazon.com and gave it to me for Christmas. Now I share the book and the tape with my children who I hope find it as valuable as I have.

Short, to the point, and teaches a lesson. This is the book that termed the phrase go-getter and really shows what it is to be one. The themes and story translate very well to todays era, every high school student should read this book or have it read during graduation.

If your intent of reading self help books is to discover a resounding message that will resonate in your life, I can certainly recommend The Go Getter. Its directness of message is only matched by its brevity. There is merely a lone principal to be uncovered within this book, but the message is timeless and profound.

This book garnered 4 stars from me because although the message is found among many other self help books, I can only think of a handful that display its portrayal and influence as well as The Go Getter.
