An interesting and practical book that divides the world into givers (the generous ones), takers (self-serving individuals) and matchers (those who believe in quid pro quo). First up, its just so satisfying to be able to correctly categorize yourself, family, friends and colleagues in the right basket. We found the book has great real-life applicability as well. There is a twist in the tale- do good guys always come last?

Favourite Passage

“So if givers are most likely to land at the bottom of the success ladder, who’s at the top—takers or matchers? Neither. When I took another look at the data, I discovered a surprising pattern: It’s the givers again.”
