A review of Seth Godin's new Book "Poke the Box" | General Business and Entrepreneurial Conversations | Forum

I was really excited and entranced by an excerpt I received today of Seth Godin's new book, "Poke the Box" .   The book is about taking chances and going out and STARTING something!

It's about not just waiting for conditions to be right, but, with an idea making an effort to see what the idea can become.

He says it's been proven that we are all hard-wired with what he calls our 'Lizard Brain', that is, the one that helps us avoid getting eaten and being sure of procreating to protect the species..  BUT – that's also how to be stopped in your tracks when working on a new project, or thinking about it.  Your lizard brain (and this is amazingly exactly what mine does, too often) will say -" OK, I'm going to start that or work on that in a minute, but I'll just check my email and read that one more article first and then I'll be ready."

That happened to me, yesterday!

This little book is a wake up call, and I highly recommend it to anyone with an idea and a desire to get started.

Here's a link to it on Amazon:   Poke the Box

Enjoy!
