3. Seth Godin and Positive Psychology—and You


In 2003, I heard Marty Seligman say that one of his goals was to help positive psychology sweep across the world.  (You may remember another variation: To increase the total tonnage of happiness in the world.) If this is a goal of yours, Seth is your man. 
 
If you are a coach, your clients will often want to help their business and their ideas impact the culture. How do you coach them?  You have to hear Seth.
 
And you, yourself, may want your coaching or consulting practice (or a charitable cause) to penetrate the culture. If so, you've got to hear Seth's interview--it is terrific. (See the testimonials below.)
 
Seth is arguably the world's leading expert on the virtual dissemination of ideas and on virtual marketing. He's the best selling author of 12 books.  His blog is read by well over 500,000 readers a day. His first internet company, Yoyodyne, was acquired by Yahoo in 1998. He's also the founder and CEO of Squidoo.

His latest book, Linchpin: Are You Indispensible?, was published two days ago and spent opening day at #7 on Amazon.com's Best Seller List. It is currently #19 and #1 in Business and Investing Books.
 
 

About Linchpin:  "Thousands of authors write business books every year, but only a handful reach star status and the A-list lecture circuit. Fewer still - one, to be exact - can boast his own action figure....Godin delivers his combination of counterintuitive thinking and a great sense of fun."   -BusinessWeek

4. What People Are Saying About Seth's Interview

Please note -- this is a great interview.  We've seldom received the huge positive evaluations that Seth generated.

Below are a few of the emails I received about Seth.  For a longer list, click here.



“Outstanding session with Seth Godin! Great questions…and great answers. Well worth the time. I've forwarded my notes to colleagues and encouraged them to sign up for the encore presentation.”

 

“That was an amazing interview with Seth Godin. I was really struck by what he said and I have since joined his blog list.”

 

“WOW What a great interview.  I just finished ordering a slew of Seth's books for my adult children. Thank you, Ben, for the wonderful opportunities you offer to keep me excited about my world and my profession!”

 

“Thank you so much from across the oceans - this Q&A has been such a gift! reading Seth's books is already quite an inspiration. "listening" to what he says... the integrity, humbleness & wisdom in his words touched core. put the brightest smile on my face. .....gentle gratefulness & wildly dancing snowflakes from good old Germany.”

 

“Fantastic stuff. Gave us the freedom to be different and the counterintuitive notion that practice doesn't always make for perfect coaches. Loved his contrast with Gladwell. And loved the practical advice about building a religion or rock band, using blogs etc.”

 

“Thanks for a great call! I was quite taken by the Seth's matter-of-fact, truth on the table-approach. Painful to listen to, but felt nice and refreshing afterwards, like swimming in really cold water. Your question about introverts was very relevant to me. Being introvert my self I've hesitated to publish my strong opinions about where we're going and what to do about it on the internet. I realize I have to be bold, brave and take risks. NOW!”

 

“The interview with Seth Godin was a delight. I found him to be candid, authentic, reflective, and self reflective...... I have subscribed to his blog, ordered his new book, and forwarded your e-mails to a bunch of colleagues and friends. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.”
