• Marketing Leadership
  Seth Godin is a great marketer. In Tribes, he sets on the challenge of convincing readers that they should start leading.
  To start with, Seth shares an argument that people are organized in tribes, and tribes need leaders. He defines tribe as a group of people with a shared interest and a way to communicate.

• More Seth, How can you go wrong?
  I loved this book and found myself inspired several times over. Well written and easily understood as all Seth books are. (I am a fan in case you can't tell.) If you feel "stuck" in the system and want a little nudge to help you along, this book can do just that. On the other hand, if you have no intentions of being a leader of any sort...this book will probably scare you.

• If Maslow had read this book, it would be 2nd on the heirarchy of needs
  Reading this book is like drinking water, or eating chicken. If you don't do it regularly, you'll probably die.
  Seriously, though, if you are a young person like me this book is likely to blow your mind. I know I'll be buying it for some people!
  Judging by the negative reviews, it seems that those who already consider themselves great leaders may be offended by the book. So read at your own risk!

• Small Book, Snappy Title .. But Not Easy
  This is my first Seth Godin read - and it is not an easy one. I keep gleaning small tidbits, lots of repetition, and trying to get to something larger. It's a bit frustrating, I am curious and want to get some new neuropathways going in this older noggin' of mine - so oddly enough, in spite of the frustration, I stay with it. Maybe I am expecting too much here, because of the author's fame and popularity??
