This is a pretty good book overall. It gives you examples of people that have abandoned the status quo and have found success by following their passion. I thought it felt a little repetitive. It's a short book (only 147 pages and the book is about the size of a DVD case) but it still felt like the author could have condensed it more or at least added more valuable content. Overall it's a good book though and will probably inspire a lot of people to lead.
I am an unabashed fan of Seth Godin. He speaks clearly about concepts that most "gurus" just make more confusing. And the concept described in this book is about how the majority of the world is content to "be led" in most avenues of life and are only too thrilled to find someone who is willing to stand up and "stand-for-something". If you are willing to be that person, there are hundreds or even thousands of money possessing fans out there waiting for you. He shows how numerous individuals with simple skills have taken relatively simple steps and the almost unbelievable availability of connected access available to all-- to cut loose from their 9 to 5 existence. With the end result being that they make life easier for their own "tribe" of adoring supporters, and themselves; a reliable income that can free them to be creative in an unreliable economy. It is the gift I give to each high school graduate who has a "gleam in their eye". This is the future.Read full review

Wonderful book. Highly motivating and inspiring. I bought the book for discussion in a small group of artists who are forming a helpful community. I would recommend this book for anyone and is an easy read. My ONLY complaint: It doesn't have any chapters! I guess the author doesn't want you to put it down!
Great book, great quality
