Seth Godin
Collected here for the first time are eight years of his very best blog posts, magazine columns, and e-books. Small is the New Big offers ideas and stories that can change how you work, what you buy, and how you see the world.
It's an entertaining snapshot of Godin's fiercely original brain. Who else would argue that Fluffernutter was a brilliant business model? That we need a service that charges to send e-mail? That you can learn more about design at Hershey Park than at an Apple store, and more about marketing at summer camp than at b-school?
All of these riffs add up to a few essential themes:

What did you love best about Small Is the New Big?
Where do I start. The best mix of Laugh out Loud entertainment, remarkable insights and genius observations about how the little guy can not only survive but thrive all in one place. Thank you Audible foe what you do. I would have never discovered Seth or any of the other authors who have set my hair on fire about the "new" or social media. I had no clue what was waiting out there because I don't make time to read. Always on the go , an audio book is the only thing for me. This is the shift that Seth speaks of. Correct me if I am wrong but i would categorize it that way. What a wonderful discovery Seth Godin is. I'm all in. I just hope my competitors don't find out. Hell, but even if they do, their "status quo" types and I have a head start....Tom Kendall
What was one of the most memorable moments of Small Is the New Big?
The idea that mass e-mail , anonymous spammers, have ruined email for the rest of us that respect those we attempt to reach out to. Opt out is not the way to go. I am convinced that permission based marketing is the way to go. So here's how Seth inspired me to act. I am going to have my company, all 10 employees , record a 60 second video, all reciting "our story" to our prospects explaining in a fun manner, about 10 seconds apiece, explaining why we hope they will accept. or opt in, to our monthly newsletter, via e-mail. This will of course be in the form of an e-mailed link to the video. However, this message will come to them first in the form of a direct USPS letter, alerting them that they will be receiving the email within the next two weeks. I have no idea if this will work, but it will be a hell of a lot better than the anonymous , disrespectful , blind email. Wish me luck ....Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but Seth recommended against it.Any additional comments?
I plan listening again soon. Great storyteller!Holy Crap Seth Godin Is Right!

Where does Small Is the New Big rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I'd say 9/10 rubber chickens just because I want room to move if I find something more amazing.What did you like best about this story?
It was easy to understand, it made sense and made me take a new look at what I thought.What does Seth Godin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I like it. The Audio book read by the author personalizes the experience and when you watch a video with Seth in (and you will after this) that whole brain science think kicks in and it just flows nicely.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
In the old days you would try to think outside the box, but in "small is the new big", Seth Godin pokes the box with a big stick!Any additional comments?
I resisted reading Purple Cow because I didn't get the concept at the time, now I think I may go back and read it. This audio book converted me into being a fan of Seth's (ok I'm cheap) but seriously I like the ideas, I like "rifting" and I like the concept of "Poking the box". (If you're Australia it's not what you think!)I found Godin!
