Poke the Box (9781936719006): Seth Godin: Books. Book Description: If you're stuck at the starting line, you don't need more time or permission. You don’t need to wait for a boss’s okay or to be told to push the button; you just need to poke. Poke the Box is a manifesto by bestselling author Seth Godin that just might make you uncomfortable. It’s a call to action about the initiative you’re taking-– in your job or in your life. Godin knows that one of our scarcest resources is the spark of initiative in most organizations (and most careers)-– the person with the guts to say, “I want to start stuff.” Poke the Box just may be the kick in the pants you need to shake up your life.

Pink is the author of the New York Times bestsellers Drive and A Whole New Mind, which together have been translated into 31 languages. Read his guest review of Seth Godin's Poke the Box: Let me begin with a professional and personal disclosure: If Seth Godin weren’t a friend of mine, I would probably hate his guts. He makes those of us in the word-slinging, meme-spreading trade look like a bunch of ne’er-do-well slackers. He is so preposterously creative and so endlessly productive--a new blog post every day, a new book every year, dozens of efforts to raise money for charity, Squidoo, the Domino Project, and more--that I once suspected Seth Godin was really a cover name for an army of elves toiling in a work camp near the Hudson River. But after reading this remarkable book, I’ve discovered Seth’s secret: He’s willing to poke the box. To start. To initiate. To begin. That’s all. Indeed, the message of this book is so profoundly simple and so simply profound, I can encapsulate it in a single word. Go. Don’t cogitate. Don’t ruminate. Don’t plan on getting started or wait for permission to begin. Go. Of course, that’s a little scary. Starting is a risk. Things might not work out. You could flop. But one theme of this book--and it’s a theme that you should write on a rock, imprint on your brain, and inject into your bloodstream--is that we ought to be much more concerned about mediocrity than failure. If you can’t fail, Seth writes, it doesn’t count. Like the man who produced it, Poke the Box is inspired and inspiring.
