It is Godin's belief that most of us are lucky enough to have a choice in life. We can choose mediocrity or we can choose to do something remarkable with our talents. This self-help book motivates people to think of their work as a form of art. It doesn't matter if you are the CEO of a billion dollar company or a barista at a local coffee shop, everyone has a choice about how they perform their particular skills.
Why do you go to work every day? Is there some reason besides a paycheck that keeps you working on a project until it is just right? Do you ever put in a little more work or try a little harder to get something just right? Seth Godin challenges us to use this style of thinking in relation to performing our work, or art, as he likes to call it. The type of worker that continually works harder and isn't afraid to push the boundaries of what is possible is what Godin likes to call a "Linchpin" - an indispensable worker who will not only find themselves in better working conditions as time goes on, but will also be happier and have more fun in life.
This is a great book for anyone wanting a little motivation to invest a little more energy into their work. It's a very positive book that makes everything seem possible if you have the determination to make it happen and aren't afraid of some hard work.
