The Icarus Deception/Seth Godin Amazes Again!


Tonight, I finally plan on opening my Kickstarter package from author Seth Godin. I contributed to Seth’s project on Kickstarter awhile ago and although I received the package nearly two weeks ago; I wanted to wait to open the package. The package contains Seth’s new book, The Icarus Deception- How High Will You Fly?. A limited edition book known as the “behemoth” book is also included (it weighs 19 lbs.) and contains a years of Seth’s daily blogs, along with (I’m sure), some surprises.
You’re probably wondering why I waited nearly 2 weeks to open the box.
Well I was going to wait until Christmas, but since my wife and I didn’t purchase gifts for each other, I didn’t want her to feel left-out. Another reason is once I read the book I know I will have to wait quite awhile until Seth publishes another new book.
For me, Seth Godin’s books are just like other’s experience of purchasing Apple products.
The information is so specialized with ideas and the insight is full of vigor, excitement and motivating thoughts for business and life. Plus, I can’t wait to see what other goodies may be in the box.
Seth Godin often writes about where we’ve been and where we should be going. Mr. Godin’s comprehension of education, marketing, business and making art breaks down the truth behind the entire old Industrial Revolution and pushes us to excel towards tomorrow. No one has a better pulse on the future of the marketplace.

Not 1 or 2 but 3 books- WOW!


The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly? is available TODAY through Amazon.com.

The “behemoth” edition will be released to the public as a smaller edition entitled: Whatcha Gonna do with That Duck and other provocations 2006-2012; but the cool thing about the limited edition giant book is Seth listed all of us who backed his Kickstarter project by name within the book.
Seth Godin is also making available a third book, V is for Vulnerable: Life Outside the Comfort Zone. The new book includes artwork illustrations by Hugh Macleod and contains 26 of Seth’s basic principles in ABC format for adults.
Looks like I have a lot to read to fill the void. Thanks, Seth!
