Living Your Passion

Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

By Seth’s definition, an artist is somebody who does (and I LOVE this term) “emotional work.”
- Work that you put your heart and soul into.
- Work that matters.
- Work that you gladly sacrifice all other alternatives for.
As a working artist and cartoonist myself, I know exactly what he means. It’s not what you do, it’s the way that you do it.

- Nothing about becoming indispensable is easy. If it's easy, it's already been done and it's no longer valuable."

"This is what the future of work (and the world) looks like. Actually, it's already happening around you."
-Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos.com

"Thousands of authors write business books every year, but only a handful reach star status and the A-list lecture circuit. Fewer still-one, to be exact-can boast his own action figure. . . . Godin delivers his combination of counterintuitive thinking and a great sense of fun."
-BusinessWeek


"If Seth Godin didn't exist we'd need to invent him-that's how indispensable he is! You hold in your hands a compelling, accessible, and purpose-filled book. Read it, and do yourself a big favor. Your future will thank you!"
-Alan Webber, Founder, Fast Company
