As I closed my bank account with Citibank, I had a bunch of points available and decided to pick up a copy of Seth Godin’s Lynchpin (Amazon affiliate link) to see if it would live up to the hype I heard about it.

Instead of getting something that offered a road map or outline into becoming what Godin tabs as a lynchpin, the book offers a series of questions that have the reader pondering the answers. Most of which are centered around will you be satisfied being a cog or do you strive to be something greater?

My favorite recurring theme in the book was centered around the primitive reptile brain.  This is the part of the brain that deals with survival and tells you not to do things that might fail. This is the part that scares us from taking risks. I try to tell this part of my brain to pipe down, because trying and failing is part of the fun of things.

I would say to check out the book if you want to question yourself.
