Once again, raising the bar and pushing people to think out of the box, Seth Godin has gathered 70+ thinkers across all industries and asked them to share a big idea. These ideas are all packaged in a nicely designed eBook you can download for free (links at the end of this post). Few people can make this happen…talk about influence! Seth is the author of the best-sellers Purple Cow, Tribes and the upcoming-blockbuster (I think it’s going to be a hit!) Linchpin in January.
Perhaps you are familiar with some ideas in this eBook, but there is a lot of good thoughts to chew and digest. The awesomeness of this project is that everyone around the world can now be exposed to these ideas and the possibilities for change.
The thinkers who participated are some of the most innovative and bright minds in business today, but the ideas outlined are not limited to business. Consider it a primer on great thinkers, great ideas, and great hints to emerging trends in business and society today.
My favorite are:
- Howard Mann raising important questions about Connectedness: “We walk the streets with our heads down staring into 3-inch screens while the world whisks by doing the same. And yet we’re convinced we are more connected to each other than ever before. Multi-tasking has become a badge of honor. I want to know why.”
- John Wood (Room to Read) – “If you get education right, you get many things right: escape from poverty, better family health, and improved status of women.” Education can save the world.
- Really liked how Dave Ramsey brought God into the equation (literally) with his formula: “FOCUSED INTENSITY over TIME multiplied by GOD equals Unstoppable Momentum.” “Lastly, you and I are finite, while GOD is infinite.”
- Tim Sanders reminding us to give thanks continually: “Gratefulness is a muscle, not a feeling. You need to work it out daily.”
I can go on and on, but it is time to break for lunch. I will keep reading and share more thoughts later on. For now, download this remarkable eBook and make it yours.
