Seth Godin

Piatkus, 2010 - Creative thinking - 244 pages

Why are some people easily outsourced, downsized, or freelanced into obscurity, while others have their pick of opportunities? In his most powerful book yet, Seth Godin argues that it's more essential than ever to become indispensable - and the key to being indispensable is overcoming the fears that hold most of us back.

Godin shows how to overcome that internal resistance, so you can unleash your greatest art, passion, insight and generosity at work.
