First off, I think Linchpin is different in many ways than anything Seth has written. I think his writing shift started with Tribes. He gave readers a glimpse into more of who Seth is, what he thinks, how he feels. He's put more of himself into Linchpin than he did in Tribes, but not until the second half of Linchpin.

My friend Johnny Memphis, former DJ for WRSI (yeah, he was the one immortalized in the Dar Williams song) once noted about Bob Dylan's song "Dignity," that it was characteristic of Dylan's unique genius to write a song on that concept. "Who else would think to write a song about dignity?" he asked with a laugh.



























I thought of that while reading Seth Godin's Linchpin, his new book in which he expands on what may be his central idea: that generosity is not just an admirable and nice thing, but that...1 point

Seth Godin is remarkable. Always. At least, I think he is.
