    About this audiobook

    What are you afraid of?
     
    The old rules: Play it safe. Stay in your comfort zone. Find an institution, a job, a set of rules to stick to. Keep your head down. Don't fly too close to the sun.
     
    The new truth: It's better to be sorry than safe. You need to fly higher than ever.
     
    In his bravest and most challenging book yet, Seth Godin shows how we can thrive in an econ­omy that rewards art, not compliance. He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkabil­ity, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art.
     
    Art is not a gene or a specific talent. It's an atti­tude, available to anyone who has a vision that others don't, and the guts to do something about it. Steve Jobs was an artist. So were Henry Ford and Martin Luther King Jr.
     
    To work like an artist means investing in the things that scale: creativity, emotional labor, and grit. The path of the artist isn't for the faint of heart-but Godin shows why it's your only chance to stand up, stand out, and make a difference.
     
    The time to seize new ground and work without a map is now. So what are you going to do?

    • 5/5
      one of the best books I've ever read, the style of the writer is always genuine and direct.
    • 5/5
      The most insightful, heartfelt, challenging, game changing non fiction book I have read in a long time. Fine art!
    • 5/5
      Beautiful book about the struggles and the value of creating. There are no rules, no one will pick you, you need to set your own rules and pick yourself for the challenge. Terrifying, fantastic and highly motivating.
    • 5/5
      Flying close to the sun is the way to go. Thanks Seth Godin.
    • 3/5
      A good piece of work but there is some repetition here and there.
    • 5/5
      Seth Godin is the only author I know I in marketing that no 5 star review will satisfy his work
    • 3/5
      There were great concepts but it reads like a bunch of articles put together as a book. I would have been happier reading a summary of this. It felt repetitive. I don’t recommend the book.
    • 5/5
      Great book. One of the best book I have ever read.
    • 4/5
      Similar to other books of his, but still very fun topics to get excited about.
    • 4/5
      The book is an encouragement for people to generate art and express themselves. I am writing a book, so I found his thoughts to be meaningful and helpful. He speaks from experience and has logical arguments. I recommend this book.

      I've read Seth's blog for a while now but this is the first book of his that I have read. This book will make me look at several things differently -- which is high praise! From one of the first lines "You are not your career" to his innovative definition of Art, Seth gives us alternative ways to view many of the daily tasks we routinely plug our way through. Definitely a book that I will discuss with friends and family.
