Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Daedelus and his son Icarus were imprisoned in a tower. Daedelus, great artist that he was, made wings for him and his son, Icarus, and with these they would make their escape. Daedelus famously warned Icarus about flying too close to the sun, lest the heat melt the wax that held his wings together. We all know that part of the legend. That part that we forget is where Daedelus also warns Icarus about flying too low, lest the sea foam soak his wings' feathers. And it's with this latter warning that Seth Godin makes his narrative hay (while the sun of the reader's attention shines). So don't settle with mediocrity. That's the message, and it's a good one.

HTML:What are you afraid of? The old rules: Play it safe. Stay in your comfort zone. Find an institution, a job, a set of rules to stick to. Keep your head down. Donâ??t fly too close to the sun. The new truth: Itâ??s better to be sorry than safe. You need to fly higher than ever. In his bravest and most challenging book yet, Seth Godin shows how we can thrive in an econÂomy that rewards art, not compliance. He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkabilÂity, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art. Art is not a gene or a specific talent. Itâ??s an attiÂtude, available to anyone who has a vision that others donâ??t, and the guts to do something about it. Steve Jobs was an artist. So were Henry Ford and Martin Luther King Jr. To work like an artist means investing in the things that scale: creativity, emotional labor, and grit. The path of the artist isnâ??t for the faint of heartâ??but Godin shows why itâ??s your only chance to stand up, stand out, and make a difference. The time to seize new ground and work without a map is now. S No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

reading Icarus plunged me into the invigorating thought-stream head first. seth's writing is lean and occasionally left me back-tracking - lack of transitions or my limits as a reader -- but the rush of ideas kept me afloat and moving forward.
great reminders: fly higher; stand up, stand out; be human vs be perfect; choose myself; it's all about connection.
this library book is now overdue, not because i haven't finished reading, but because i haven't made notes of all the bits i want to keep in my journal or sprinkle into my next essay. never fear, i used small post-its to flag the inspired/inspiring words. ( )
