Seth Godin

Another week, another few hundred articles and blog posts scanned… here’s a diverse group of stuff you may find particularly interesting.

Review – Poke the Box by Seth Godin

Poke the Box by Seth Godin is a very short book focused on one key idea: “Get off your butt and start something!” More specifically, Godin tells his readers to not wait for permission from others, to not worry about failure, and in general to buck both corporate and personal inertia by trying something new.

When children first start to draw we teach them to colour in between the lines. We reward accuracy rather than interpretation. Neatness, not expression. This says a lot about our own predispositions. In this short but insightful interview, Seth Godin talks about an education system characterised by an industrial model from an industrial era.

Last week I had the pleasure of hearing Seth Godin speak at a LinkedOC event. He was promoting his latest book, Linchpin, Are You Indispensible?
