Review: "The Dip" by Seth Godin

If you think you've seen this book before, you're probably not mistaken. It's not a new book at all. It came out in 2007, and the first time I read this book was actually back in 2011. For personal reasons, I chose to pick it back up, and I'll talk about that in a separate post. Having been five years since my last read, I'm glad I dug this back up. It's a pretty teeny book, as you can see in the image below. A person can definitely breeze through the entire book in an hour or two. Anyway, this is a book review! How does this book hold up in the nine years since it's initial release? Let's get into it.

Key Competency #5: Brevity

If there's one thing I struggle with most when writing these blog posts, its knowing how long to make them. If I make them too long, I risk the reader losing attention. On the other end of the spectrum, making them too short runs the risk of not explaining something thoroughly enough. In most cases, I think making them shorter is probably better. Pretty much everything life is better when its shorter, hence why I'm labeling "brevity" as a key competency.

The Nintendo Switch's Untapped Potential

It's no secret that I am excited for the Nintendo Switch. I already have it pre-ordered and have even requested that day off work for its release. To top that, I've watched pretty much every YouTube video I can to learn more about the console. In a recently uploaded video, MatPat of The Game Theorists duked it out head-to-head against none other than the president and COO of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime. The topic: whether or not Nintendo should continue in the hardware console market or become a pure software company much like SEGA. Check it out below: Link to "Should Nintendo STOP Making Consoles? - DeadLock (Feat. Reggie from Nintendo) I'm really impressed with Nintendo for agreeing to do this video. MatPat definitely didn't go easy on Reggie. He made a lot of valid points, so kudos to Nintendo for tackling these matters head on. But as much as I am impressed with Nintendo for their endeavors with the Switch, I haven't heard much abou...

Pay Attention to Subtle Physical Reactions

Ever clench your fists in anger? Chuckle out loud when reading a joke? Sigh when thinking about something disappointing? Often, we don't do these things intentionally. These are subconscious reactions to things around us. Think about it. It would be absurd to think to yourself, "I thought that was funny, so I am purposefully going to laugh out loud." After all, we don't laugh out loud at 100% of the things we think are funny. (You all who use the LOL acronym in your text messages know this well!)

Is There Magic behind Affirmations?

I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of Scott Adams. Best known for his comic strip, Dilbert, I have run into his other work twice now that I've found very fascinating. The first was his assertion that Donald Trump used hypnotic persuasion techniques to capture the presidency, and I covered that in a previous post . The second interesting idea is analyzed in his interview with Tim Ferriss. I am currently reading Ferriss's new book, Tools of Titans (review in progress), and Ferriss mentions Scott Adams' second idea briefly, which prompted me to immediately listen to the full podcast interview. What's that second idea?
