Good info. Like the info on the book. Have always had an apprehension in getting this book. But like the explanation of “becoming extraordinary”. I’m for that! Think I’ll give it a go. Thanks!

I have never read Seth. After reading this though it will be next on my list after “Mentor like Jesus”.

Even though it's not January…and I'm buying it myself, you have pushed me to read Linchpin.

Thanks Michael.

I've never read any of Seth Godin's books. However, my wife thinks the guy walks on water so I stumbled upon this book review page. "Lynchpin", meaning an indispensable person. I'm cut from the Viet Vet environment and locked into a mindset that makes working in a corporate environment nearly impossible. I can't handle bullshit. In the words of General Charles DeGaulle, the "Graveyards are full of indispensable men." Well, I would like to be indispensable too, but not under the soil, yet. I really want to make a difference and pay something forward to my country. HOW?

MAY I REQUEST FOR A FREE COPY OF BOOK "LINCHPIN " BY SETH GODIN.

I USED TO BE A SEMINARY STUDENT BUT I SUFFERED A STROKE AND HAD TO STOP. BY GOD'S GRACE I STILL HOPE TO BE IN THE MINISTRY AND WHILE RECOVERING FROM MY SICKNESS I SPEND MY TIME READING BOOKS, LISTENING TO AND/OR WATCHING AUDIO/VIDEO BIBLICAL MESSAGES AND EVEN LISTENING TO SPIRITUAL MUSIC TO GET MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD AND THE MINISTRY.
THE BOOK MAY NOT BE THEOLOGICAL/SPIRITUAL BUT THE BOOK MAY BE A GOOD RESOURCE FOR PEOPLE IN MINISTRY. I INTEND TO SHARE THE BOOK WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF MY CHURCH.

I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN GRANT MY REQUEST.

GOD BLESS.

Dear Michael,
You can imagine how eager I am to get this book, since I am posting a comment one week after the deadlibe has expired….but I only came to know today!….it all started like this:
I am looking for a way to re-energise my work life, knowing I am capable of bigger things…I happened to read something on the Internet, which led me to Amazon.fr, which led me to order Seth Godin's 'the dip', and which has now lead me to this site!
Best wishes, and I am going to be following you and your followers to seek advice and help!
I solemnly promise to read the book!

Michael, RATS!!! I have missed the deadline but am writing anyway, in hopes of receiving Seth's book. I hadn't heard of Seth until recently and have spent most today reading his blog and LOVIN' it! I am a clinical social worker in a solo private practice. After a series of tragedies, I felt I needed to turn to a career that offered more security and safety, namely special ed teaching in the my county. Four years have passed and I see a glaring need for general ed teachers to understand emotional disabilities and be able to effectively reach and teach them. I have come up with the idea to devise and train teachers on how to do this and pitch this to the really higher ups even though I am low man on the totem pole. Concurrently, I have been cultivating my spiritual life and really heard that spiritual piece in the quotes from your interview with Seth. I believe that reading this book will pull together (wrap it up and tie it with a BIG bow) my career aspirations and spiritual quest, so I can fully live my life. Actually, I think I just started…. :)

Wait a minute! In just moments, so many questions answered and dusty dreams, kept in a box, rescued from my mental attic. Never have I fit into the Resume Role though I have studied the lines, changed clothes, re-done the sets and had many "opening nights". I know that God has been trying to show me the creative and unique talents He gave me – yet I have continued on in "Safe mode". Just as online; functioning but no where near full capacity!
I need your help to let go of fake fears and become the Lynchpin God wants me to be. The battle against the 50's factory mentality, in education and workforce, must be waged and won! How can I help my son (a creative, out-of-the-box teen/musician) if I am not experiencing the transformation myself?
Please, share the book with me. I covenant to read it and then share it with others.
Thank you for the consideration and opportunity.
LIFE IS SHORT – even though I am not. God bless you and yours -

Michael,
I have over 2,500 books in my library – some were worth starting, some weren't, most weren't worth finishing, some were pure jewels and I got something special from each.
The compelling truth woven through each for me was that I; not an institution, or a government, or a corporation should be making decisions about the direction my life heads.

1. So why should you send me Seth's book – Well I wanted to make sure you could give away all that were given and since many people have poor follow through skills, I wanted to make sure I wasnt one of them.

2. Seth's insights about life, business and marketing are priceless, I'd be insane not to glean his wisdom

3. I'll send you a copy of my book when I finish – ( Get your #@$% together and don't forget to flush )

4.Because I'm a nice guy : – }

5. An autographed copy would really sweeten the kudo's

Only the Best,
