From Seth Godin’s blog, a new e-book for the new decade.

Now, more than ever, we need to shake things up.

Now, more than ever, we need a different way of thinking, a useful way to focus and the energy to turn the game around. I hope a new ebook I’ve organized will get you started on that path. It took months, but I think you’ll find it worth the effort. (Download here, at Seth’s Blog).

Here are more than seventy big thinkers, each sharing an idea for you to think about as we head into the new year. From bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert to brilliant tech thinker Kevin Kelly, from publisher Tim O’Reilly to radio host Dave Ramsey, there are some important people riffing about important ideas here. The ebook includes Tom Peters, Fred Wilson, Jackie Huba and Jason Fried, along with Gina Trapani, Bill Taylor and Alan Webber.

This is an amazing resource. As Seth writes in the introduction:
“If you make a difference, people will gravitate to you. They want to engage, to interact and to get you more involved.
In a digital world, the gift I give you almost always benefits me more than it costs.
If you make a difference, you also make a connection. You interact with people who want to be interacted with and you make changes that people respect and yearn for.”

I could not agree more whole-heartedly!

One of the contributors is Stephen Pressfield, one of my favorite authors and a brilliant blogger (see It’s the Tribes, Stupid to see what I mean) whose essay is on Tough-mindedness. Here is a quote:

“…what produces real work (and happiness for each of us, in my opinion) is depth, focus, concentration and commitment over time.“

Indeed. Please share your thoughts.
