Seth Godin is the real deal.  A longtime marketer, Godin has written best-seller after best-seller about marketing in the new age. From Permission Marketing to Purple Cow to Tribes , Godin has been on a 10+ year mission to encourage us to be excellent and to make remarkable products for our customers. Seth describes Linchpin as his "life's work." Godin's fastest-selling book, Linchpin has sold over 50,000 copies since its release in January 2010. I personally thought it was excellent.

Is Linchpin Really for You?

Godin is the eternal optimist and has the power to motivate like none other. If you have a passion in life, Linchipin will compel you to pursue it. If you don't like your job, this book will make you want to leave it even more. It takes courage to commit to being a Linchpin because you are agreeing to becoming an "artist" and putting emotional energy into your work.
