Career Book Recommendation: Linchpin: Seth Godin

    I am re-reading this book for a second time - and it needs it. Written in a fairly breathless and colourful style Linchpin offers some useful insights to anybody trying to make sense of their careers in the current turbulent situation.
Two useful ideas: 

1. Check out the chapter on the Resistance - or the functioning of the amygdala brain - that reptile portion of the brain in our head which resists change and which holds us back in so many ways. Best chapter in the book.

2. A combination of a high  level of both passion and critical thinking in our lives helps make us Linchpins - (people who are vital to the success of the organisation we belong to) . Low passion and low levels of critical thinking render us cynical and powerless.

In the words of Sam Beckett: "I could go on..." but I leave that pleasure to you.
