Why read it?

1 author picked The Icarus Deception as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My first favorite read of the year is an older book by one of my favourite writers, Seth Godin.

As with most of his work, in 'The Icarus Deception', Seth challenges us to think differently and constructively about the change we want to impact in the world.

I enjoyed this book so much I didn't want to finish it so took my time to dip in and out of it, as I read several other books in tandem.

Any and all of Seth's work is worth your time and energy, this book is gold.
