The Dip Seth Godin Review
Just finished The Dip by Seth Godin. I have long been a reader of his blog and I was intrigued enough by his latest book to give it a bash and bought it painlessly on amazon.
Its a lightweight book (~80 pages) which I would say falls into the personal development genre. The biggest thing I have taken from it is to concentrate my efforts on key areas that I have goals in
and stop stuff which is just wasting my time. I also feel as if I am currently in a dip with oentries and racentries and am inspired to get
where I want with these web applications.
It provided some good debate with Helen who didnt like it in some ways and found it repetitive trying hard to deliver the same message over and over. But once you have got it you have got it and but there are also a
few gems. My favourite being the one about how certain organisations make is especially hard to get to the top and you have to jump through many hoops. Also, the main point about how the people at the top have
exponentially more success than second and third.
Overall I still enjoyed this book and would give it a 6.5/10 and recommend it to friends.
