I’ve already read this, and I think it’s a bit thin. I like “Small is the new Big” but having read “The Dip” and now “Tribes” I’m wondering if Seth Godin’s talent is for riffs and rants, where you are provoked to think, rather than for the deeper analysis that I’d normally expect in a book. With “Small is the New Big” it left me curious and hungry for more, with this it’s just disappointing.
