Last week on the Go-Giver blog, I posted a note we got from Adrienne Schultz, our editor at Portfolio, publishers of The Go-Giver:

“So on my way to work today, I’m walking through the Times Square subway station—a busy spot, as you can imagine. There’s a man walking against traffic, nearly bumping into everyone as he passes by. I’m a bit annoyed, until I realize why he is so distracted: He is reading—is engrossed in—The Go-Giver! That just made my morning.

I wrote that post during our honeymoon, on a day that rained and rained, keeping us off the beach for the day. (I know, I said I didn’t write at all on my honeymoon. And I didn’t, honest—except for one little teeny weeny blog post.)

Later that day we hopped in our rental car and sought out a nearby Barnes & Noble to find some good beach reading.

I went to the “Inspiration and Motivation” shelf where The Go-Giver is displayed; there were four copies. A few minutes later, the clerk asked me to sign the copies there, so I went back to the shelf — and the four copies were now reduced to two. One evidently had been bought, and a man was standing there with the other in hand, leafing through it.

He told me he owned a company, and was thinking of buying this copy for his regional manager — whose name is Joe.

Synchronicity: a wink and a nod from the Absolute.
