LINCHPIN

A brilliant collection of short essays that compound together to teach us the meaning of art. Seth expands it to mean anything that changes someone and extrapolates it to actions done with heart and connection by even a corporate employee in his current set-up. It is anyone who does this in a unique manner is who he calls a linchpin. Sometimes farfetched but always inspiring, this book is filled with nuggets of motivation and action. A good read for someone who wants to enrich their life with an attitude of a linchpin.

Just like Dip or any other Seth Godin book, this is a MUST read book that insists on how to do our work (not job) & there are no prescribed map or reference guide for a leadership or an artist & how an artist should go about fearless of failure or being copied giving away his work of art improvising every single time that causes one to elevate above the crowd establishing a meaningful relationship between customers & organization, forming a network of people & eventually become a linchpin

Oftentimes pearls of wisdom that can transform your life are waiting to speak to you in a book that you avoid reading.This was what I was unaware of till the time I avoided reading the book LINCHPIN by Seth Godin.Amazon, now and then kept me showing this book in recommendations. I used to see it and never thought of checking it out. But one day I don't know why I decided to find out what was contained in the book.I listened to the Audible sample provided by Amazon and downloaded the sample kindle chapters of the book, I read the book description and the feedbacks of the customers.Then a line in the first paragraph of the Introduction made me go deep into the book even before I decided to buy it. The line was:A genius looks at something that others are stuck on and gets the world unstuck.This got me interested and I realised that atleast for me this is a book that can even better my mindset towards how I look at my job and career.For people who are looking to get hired in their first job, the author writes in one of the chapters:The only way to prove that you are... someone worth recruiting... is to show, not tell. Projects are the new resumes.It talks about how to beat the competition and get a great job.The book has been structured in an easy to read way.The chapters of the book have lots of subheadings marked in bold. The paragraphs are short. Overall this makes the book appear eye pleasing. You feel like reading it.As you read the pages of the book you will find that it is sprinkled with great many real life examples to explain a point the author wants to make.The language is simple and almost each sentence captures your attention.I love to highlight the key points on the pages and later on make notes on it. I had a hard time deciding what to leave out. My entire book is marked with different color pens and highlighters.In the end the author provides a summary that concludes the book with his final thoughts of inspiration.This book is not only for already employed people who are wanting to give meaning to their job and career but also for students who are preparing to start their career.You should be able to derive the actionable from the book and implement it in your job and life.And as a first time job seeker train yourself using the lessons from the pages of the book to prepare and be at the cutting edge of starting your career.Once you do that you can experience the difference that you bring to your job.But it's not a one time thing. It's a continuous process. It's WIP - Work In Progress.Remember...Linchpin is all about your choices, your future and your potential to make a huge difference in whatever field you choose.Go for it!

Improve life quality.

Off course book is Great to read but the print Quality of this book is poor compared to other books it is not upto the mark very lightly printed. Yes looks Original copy still not satisfied with printing ink very light, barely visible to read.

I like the idea Suggesting by the Author. I like the centre Idea of book to become essential. How world and prospective of world will change in com years. How you should make preparations for that.I like this book very much, this is essential book and everyone must read this book .

This is an extremely empowering idea. Choosing to be the artist that we already are gives us the chance to be unique and make a difference in the world. Be an artist, give your gift in abundance without reciprocity and create the impact you wanted.

The books is really great, it's about your choices, your future and your potential. I will really help you to choose in your field.
