Two years ago, when The Go-Giver first came out, I was invited by one Tim Peterson, PhD, to come to New York to speak to a group of students at a Fellowship program at Texas A&M. We had a blast.

In the meantime, Tim has relocated, from far south to far north: he is now Associate Dean at the North Dakota State University, where among other things he has been tasked with developing a leadership program.

He asked if I would come do it again. And this morning, I had the distinct pleasure of giving a talk on the principles of The Go-Giver to a most attentive, appreciative and wonderful group of college students from Fargo, North Dakota.

What an inspiring location! The good folks at SteelCase, Inc., the office supply people, donated their location right off Columbus Circle. Located stratospherically at the top of the building, the room we met in has a stunning view of Central Park (you can just barely see it in this pre-talk photo).

The kids were fantastic. They asked great questions and had light burning in their eyes.

If this is the face of the future, the future looks stratospherically good.

Have you read my book The Secret Language of Money yet? (The one that came out last summer, that I coauthored with David Krueger, M.D., the psychiatrist-turned-executive-coach who calls himself “a recovering psychiatrist” and who knows more about how and why human beings act the way they do with and about money than anyone else I know?)

If not, you will soon have nine more opportunities to sate your curiosity. The book is now being prepared for publication in nine foreign-language editions, including:

• Chinese (modern)
• Chinese (traditional)
• French
• German
• Japanese
• Korean
• Portuguese
• Russian
• Spanish

If you are wondering why you had not heard about this before, the answer is simple. Whether Japanese, English, Portuguese or Russian, it’s still a secret language.

Woke up today to find we were on CNBC! Its web site, that is.

The network’s online book review column, “Bullish on Books,” features a guest post by Bob Burg and me, titled “Everything You Learned About Sales Is Backwards.”

Bullish on Books is the creation of Gloria McDonough-Taub, CNBC’s Editor of Blogs. Here is how Gloria describes her task:

“I read recently that about 11,000 business books are published per year. That’s a lot of books! You don’t have time to read all of them, but I’m trying. Here at Bullish on Books I will be your guide to the best business books on the market today.”

According to her bio, in Gloria’s 30-ish years of television experience (including local and national news, documentaries, talk shows and syndication) she has interviewed “presidents, pundits, and pampered princesses” — and now she just wants “to kick back and read a good book.”

And we’re honored and delighted that Go-Givers Sell More turned out to be one of them.

Thanks, Gloria!
