Get Seth Godin's "Tribes" Book For Free

I'm a pretty big fan of Seth Godin's. I don't really agree with everything he writes, but I do agree with him that people should try hard to reach their potential in life. To some Tribes, We Need You To Lead Us may sound like a basic book about leadership, or maybe to others (marketers), it sounds like a guide to finally getting a viral YouTube campaign to work. Once you read it, however, I think you will find that it is more about courage. Mainly, the message was "if you conjure up the courage to open up your mouth and share your ideas, others will listen and respect you for it".

Ok, maybe there's more here. But that was my main takeaway. The more I run my mouth, the more I find others thankful that I did... Or at least they seem to listen. Then we have fun discussions, share ideas and come up with new ones. The world would be a lot better place if more people had the guts to speak their minds, take a risk and let others know what they are passionate about. If you'd like a very well written push in that direction, this is the book for you.

Oh, and how do you get Tribes for free?... Simple... Whoever leaves the best comment on any of my posts between now and next Wednesday (day after the presidential election), will get my copy. Seth encouraged us to share it, so that's what I intend to do. Shipping and handling is on me. Thanks for participating.
