It turns out that it's tribes, not money, not factories, that can change our world... ~ Seth Godin …

October 30, 2009 Leave a Comment
Here's a gigantic thought from Seth Godin in just nine words...

Book Review: Tribes, by Seth Godin
January 19, 2009 3 Comments
I just finished reading Tribes by Seth Godin. I've been wanting to read it for six months now and finally had some oral surgery which enabled me to lay in bed and read the whole thing in a few hours.

Seth Godin commented today on the question, "Is everything okay?" His conclusion is that we spend way too much time focusing on making sure everything is okay and end up losing the opportunity for positive change.
