About this listen
A soulful re-envisioning of what work and leadership can be, from the visionary mind of renowned author and thought leader, Seth Godin
The Song of Significance is a rousing contemplation on work: why it is the way it is, why it’s gotten so bad, what all of us–especially leaders–can do to make it better.
Economic instability and the rise of remote work have left us disconnected and disengaged. Alarmed managers are responding with harsh top-down edicts, layoffs, surveillance and mandatory meetings. Workers are responding by quiet quitting and working their wage. But it doesn't have to be this way.
Through 144 provocative stanzas, legendary business author Seth Godin gets to the heart of what ails us; he shows what’s really at the root of these trends, and challenges us to do better in ways that matter.
The choice is simple. We can endure the hangover of industrial capitalism, keep treating people as disposable, and join in the AI-fueled race to the bottom. Or we come together to build a significant organization that enrolls, empowers, and trusts everyone to deliver their best work, no matter where they are.
This is a book to share with bosses and co-workers, to discuss and put to action. No matter what our role, it’s within our power to change. Because, as Godin writes, “Humans aren’t a resource. They are the point.”

Didn’t really enjoy
Wouldn’t read again, was vague and didn’t really seem written for everyday people. Hard to put my finger on what i took away from the book. Would recommend for larger business owners.

Appendix is the Most Interesting
I have ready many of Seth’s books and blog posts, but this was a little too general, like he strung together his posts.
I did like the listing of soft, or “real,” skills in the Appendix. That’s when I took notes!
A three star rating for me means that I don’t regret reading it, but I wouldn’t reread or recommend it.

Another book by Seth Godin I need to share
This book does not disappoint. I’ve read many of Seth Godin’s books over the years and this title is a natural addition to The Practice. The ideas presented here really connect to my work as a high school teacher where I have been thinking a lot about the work students do in small teams and how it can be better. I love the writing style as it reminds me of a blog with every entry a bite-sized chunk of wisdom.

boring and monotonous
Perhaps it would’ve been better if I purchased the actual book, but the tone of this guy’s voice puts me to sleep. It’s brutal. Then I tried to listen to The content and I just can’t do it.

So much of stating the obvious mixed with questionable idealogy made for an unbearable book. I've loved other with by Seth but this was plain awfy
