by Seth Godin
Godin argues that the industrial-era compliance worker is obsolete, and the new indispensable worker is the linchpin who does emotional labor, gives gifts, and ships art. He tells readers to fight the lizard brain, the seat of Resistance, that keeps them safe, average, and interchangeable.
In this collection, Linchpin references 3 other books.
It draws on The War of Art, Flow and How to Win Friends and Influence People.
