Story
There used to be two teams in every workplace: management and labor. Now there’s a third team, the linchpins. These people invent, lead (regardless of title), connect others, make things happen, and create order out of chaos. They figure out what to do when there’s no rule book. They delight and challenge their customers and peers. They love their work, pour their best selves into it, and turn each day into a kind of art.

Customers, followers, subscribers. It's easy to just look at the numbers. How many likes? How many purchases? How many email subscribers? But as entrepreneurs, we have to remember that there are people behind all that data. People who are looking to us to be a leader, to give advice, and to care. In this dog-eat-dog world, these are the people who are looking for someone who they can trust and who they know have their best interests in mind.

The new opportunity is that it's easier than ever to find, organize, and lead a tribe. The Web has enabled an explosion of all kinds of tribes - and created shortage of people to lead them. This is the growth industry of our time. Tribes will help you understand exactly what's at stake, and why YOU can and should lead a tribe of your own.

Every marketer tells a story. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, which is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better, and look cooler, than $20 no-names... and believing it makes it true.

This Is Marketing shows you how to do work you're proud of, whether you're a tech start-up founder, a small-business owner, or part of a large corporation.

Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human.

We send our kids to school and obsess about their test scores, their behavior and theirability to fit in. We post a help wanted ad and look for experience, famous colleges and a history of avoiding failure. We invest in companies based on how they did last quarter, not on what they’re going to do tomorrow. So why are we surprised when it all falls apart? Our economy is not static, but we act as if it is. Your position in the world is defined by what you instigate, how you provoke, and what you learn from the events you cause. In a worldfilled with change, that’s what matters - your ability to create and learn from change.

He explains why true innovators focus on trust, remarkability, leadership, and stories that spread. And he makes a passionate argument for why you should be treating your work as art. Art is not a gene or a specific talent. It's an attitude, available to anyone who has a vision that others don't, and the guts to do something about it.

Publisher's Summary
Face it, the checklist of tired P's marketers have used for decades to get their product noticed - Pricing, Promotion, Publicity, to name a few -aren't working anymore. There's an exceptionally important P that has to be added to the list. It's Purple Cow. Cows, after you've seen one, or two, or 10, are boring. A Purple Cow, though...now that would be something.
Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat-out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff - a lot of brown cows - but you can bet they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to your product or service. Purple Cow is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period.
In Purple Cow, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for marketers.
Critic Reviews
"Godin's style is punchy and irreverent, using short, sharp messages to drive his points home. ....[H]is wide-ranging advice - be outrageous, tell the truth, test the limits and never settle for just 'very good' - is solid and timely." ( Publishers Weekly)

Classic Seth Godin
I've become a big fan of Seth Godin in recent months, and this audiobook didn't disappoint. The Purple Cow is the truly unique and remarkable product, service, benefit or feature that can make your brand stand apart from the countless boring - and floundering - brands out there.
Godin's very good at weaving together his advice, anecdotes and theories, and I came away from Purple Cow feeling newly energized with creative and innovative ideas. The man himself is a living demonstration of the power of creative brand-building, and I hope his ideas keep flowing freely for a long time yet.

Possibly Seth's best work to date
I am a big fan of Seth Godin. I am on Tribes on Ning, I have interviewed him in my blog, and I read most things he posts or publishes.
And for me, this is probably his best work to date. The entire concept of the purple cow is simple - be remarkable. But as always he supports this with many layers of examples, tactics and case studies.
I am a consultant and for me this book has helped a heck of a lot.

A quick review for a quick book...
What would have made Purple Cow better?
The value of the The Purple Cow is entirely in its premise: you need an outstanding product or service or not only will you not sell anything, but you will be ignored.
Another reviewer succinctly warned that the book was all repetition and not to bother with a purchase. Well, I like to think for myself and often take reviews lightly as sometimes reviewers have agendas that aren't apparent. My loss.
Seth probably wrote the whole concept with all branches in a page of single spaced 10 pitch font. His discussion, I think, is intended to make him look like he is a Purple Cow. I had the audio speed at 1.25 but should have bumped it up higher. I would have lost nothing.
Sorry Seth, but shallow sells as well as boring. Your next book will be hard to pick out in the vast Audible library.

It says it all on the cover...
Then spends the rest of the book repeating it. I didn't hate the book, I wanted to hear it based on its hype. You can't argue the importance of being 'remarkable' in business but the message is superficial and everything I got from this I could have gotten from a quote poster. This is better if you already have a formed business idea. Loads of sound bites, not the greatest amount of substance

Not the revelation I expected
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
People who know little about marketing or still do things the old school way.
What could Seth Godin have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Offer something new
Any additional comments?
I saw this book listed in a top must read business books. I was very disappointed. Correct me if I am missing something but all this book does is to suggest to do something different than other companies to get your self noticed. Great. Its really just a list of examples of companies that are doing something different and achieving success. Very little in practical examples to apply this to what you may already be doing. Any book by Daniel Priestly will offer this in much more depth.

The title initially made me dubious but I was sold by what the book was offering. This book is a MUST HAVE for every small business and larger businesses could also learn from this. The best read I have had in years and every sentence has had me thinking, reviewing and processing my own business. I wish I had found this book a few years back.

This is the book that clearly preceded anything written by Gary Vee! That fact makes the book a little outdated - but this takes nothing away from what is a great, simple read! Also, there are still some golden nuggets to be had from Godin’s insights! This is a good and concise read.

change your perspective...
I listened to the entirety of purple cow in one sitting while at a cafe near my home, that happened to be a few doors away from a (very) popular restaurant chain. I watched people with wonder scurry in and out like ants in an ant hive, and silently asked myself why it was so popular. Little did I know that Godin was quickly changing my perception of what an incredible business was while I watched. I had finished listening to the book by noon, and had so far counted on average about 10 people per minute (!) entering the restaurant, either entering by car or on foot. What better way is there to experience the power of a remarkable business than to observe the attraction of the successful restaurant chain such as this one, that demonstrated the power of branding?
Once I had finished Purple Cow I walked the short distance home, and to my surprise I found myself observing every single shopfront with curiosity, asking myself how that business, that machine, behind the shopfront could be different, how it could challenge the norm, and how it too could be remarkable.
What this book does is distinguish very clearly for you what is and what is not a remarkable business, and what you can do to create one in today's environment.
Seth Godin covers topics ranging from the history of the televisual industrial movement, that saw advertisers competing for sales through mainstream television or radio commercial advertisements, to a newer method of targeting and attracting customers by catering to percieved wants that have been expressed by the consumers themselves. In Godin's world, every item that a person perceives as being needed to be bought has already been created. It is now up to the entrepreneurs of the present and future to create items that fulfill a percieved want in a select group of people who lead others to purchase the product or service.

Really did I just pay for this?
Truly unremarkable where is the value here? Nothing new and very short. It should be discounted or free. It is just someone's ranting on what they think without structure or evidence of anything. Why do people rate this so highly?

Meh
the concept was interesting but didn't feel it really offered much to those who are involved in businesses beyond venture capitalism.

Wonderful and simple
This is a great book which makes marketing and product development so simple. It’s a must read for any self employed or business person. Being remarkable works for the one man operation or the medium and large corporation. No matter who you are in business, implement the Purple Cow strategies and success will find its way to you.
