The Big Moo: Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable by The Group of 33, Seth Godin

3.5 stars. A fascinating collection of short essays on business, mindset and marketing. A truly insightful and inspirational set of ideas though I think my personal preference would be for a more in-depth look at each idea.

Quit reading. This was the biggest load of bullshit I've ever read.

I felt like I posted on social media for advice on how to be remarkable and I got 33 pieces of advice from 33 acquaintances. Some were good, some were trash, some were inspiring, some were contradicting.

33 successful people, 33 short writings.
All good advices on what to do or what not to do - how to be remarkable, how not to disappear, why you should never stop improving.
As usual, the book itself won't explain why the ideas would work for you.
But the people who wrote them are pretty successful people, and that would validate their points.
Unless your definition of success differs, in that case, you can disregard the advices.
And if you want a short summary of the book, here it is:
Work hard, be brave, be creative, be nice, don't imitate, and don't give up.
Just dressed up in more words.
And one more thing, before I forget.
The 33 people sometimes contradict each other. They give opposing advices.
Is that bad?
No, not really. You just have to think, and create your own solution, decide what is best for you.
Sorry, you can't just get everything without any work. Not even with books.

A good read that still has relevancy. There are a lot of short chapters but each has valuable content when it comes to providing insights on how you can become remarkable.
