Linchpin: Are You Indispensable? by Seth Godin

4.0

I took notes while reading this because there were so many parts that I loved. Especially relevant to me was Godin's definition of the "lizard brain" and "resistance" (these are already probably a part of your life, but read this book to have Godin put into words what all humans already feel, at least from time to time). This was a great read for me because much of Godin's advice on being an artist applies to my creative pursuits, but also my professional career.

I love Godin's assertions that we should all be artists in every interaction and project we are part of- art isn't just about music or paintings, but about authenticity in every aspect of your life, including your day job. I try to live my life this way and am very satisfied with how Godin has captured this lifestyle in words. I would recommend this book to young adults who are just beginning their careers, but also to anyone of any age in need of a refreshing reminder of what life can be!
