My booklist from writing The Icarus Deception

I plan to revisit Joseph Campbell (always deeply resonant) and to explore your other recommendations posted here. I've been immersed in the many invaluable insights presented within your latest book. Truly appreciate what I am gaining from listening to the conversations you are having about the Icarus Deception. Thank you.

Wooowwww...great lens...

An eclectic collection. Very interesting.

The Power of Myth changed my life by giving me permission to 'follow my bliss.' Don't Bite the Hook helped me through a difficult life transition. Great stuff in both of these!!

Great lens, thanks for sharing!

Zen and the Art is my favorite book ever. Good to read every five years. Daring Greatly is one of my favorites from this year. Steven Pressfield and Pema Chodron are always good. I am interested in reading about Finite and Infinite Games.

I would highly recommend the 2 books by Steven Pressfield The War of Art and Do the Work. Bought the Kindle versions this year, and have read both a couple of times.

Great picks, Seth. I am interested in reading a few of the books you recommend.

This book has meant so much to me. I received it as a gift, and that is what it has been in my life. I am a senior in high school, and I witness what Seth calls the drudgery of "industrialized education" firsthand. Every day, I wake up as the alarm sounds and I am sent into a factory of numbing education that does not matter.

I am trying to make a difference, to change that. I have formed a group of peers into what we call the "WISF Team" (named after "What is School For?" the central question of Seth's manifesto and TEDx talk "Stop Stealing Dreams"). Our team is set on making an impact, a ruckus, in public education. Seth's insight in this book, on his blog, and in "Stop Stealing Dreams" has laid the foundation for our work.

Our first project is a Prezi, which you can view by searching "The Second Enlightenment: Making Education Count." (it would not let me post the hyperlink here)

The Icarus Deception is inspirational on every level, and I simply had to share my personal story about it.

Thanks, Seth.

Thanks for sharing, I just heard about this book on Pat Flynn's podcast.

Hi Seth! I discovered your book listening to the Social Media podcast, and I am excited to read it. I will order a hard copy if I need to, but first I wondered if will you release it on Kindle?

The Icarus Deception: how high will you fly?

Seth gives us the "inside" information on how to stand-out, speak-up and set the new standards by becoming an artist. His thoughts teach us how to fly higher than we ever could by casting the "old rules" aside which allows you to create your own artistry.

In a way, The Icarus Deception is a conglomeration of Seth Godin's previous books tied together, to the new economy. It's the handbook to your future. They didn't let us in on the old secrets- this time we have no excuse!

The Icarus Deception is a book I will read over and over. I highly recommend it. I purchased my copy through Seth's Kickstarter campaign.

The Icarus Deception is the push to do what you've always wanted. It's the approval to become what you've always dreamed of becoming. The Icarus Deception allows you the freedom to scale to new heights. Unlike the previous system of 100 years, it's imperative you break the rules and stand-out.

More importunately it allows you to connect with people and do something meaningful by creating Art!
This is the chance and opportunity you've waited for- purchase The Icarus Deception today.

We've been bamboozled for too long. It's your turn.

"Seizing new ground,, making connections between people or ideas..." just feels right.
"Speaking up when there's no obvious right answer, making yourself vulnerable when it's possible to put up shields, and caring about both the process and the outcome- these are works of art that our society embraces and the economy demands." Doing nothing is NOT an option if you want to further your art.
Seth Godin,
"The Icarus Deception: How Hight Will You Fly?"

HI Seth, love your work and passion for the arts and it's makers. I'm glad to know that it's okay to not be afraid to share your art with everyone. You and your genius ideas are my guide for 2013.

Hi Seth, I loved the little inspirational video for adding my art to a bookmark in your new book. Next time when i'm in Barnes and Noble I'll do it. I'm Heather and I'm a Potter, Crafter and Artist; I make things & owner of Artreverie Shop on Etsy. . I'm just figuring out all this marketing stuff so thanks for the inspiration!! So glad to see this book from you, can't wait to pick it up.

Our time has finally come... all of us. Maybe we've been waiting for permission. Now we've got it!
