- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5How to apply evolution theory to managing at the ceo level, including a detailed analogy between genes and memes. Nice try, but just not theoretical enough.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I think this is a solid Godin book. His insight is always beneficial to me. The insight on Corporate evolution is very interesting. I recommend.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My first out-and-out business/self-improvement book.I like Seth Godin's enthusiasm. He talks about the same books and authors that I've been reading lately, and its good to hear some practical applications of their writing.
