Best-selling author Seth Godin discusses how to reimagine life and work in the post-industrial age. His books include Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, and Purple Cow.

In this interview, Seth talks about the liberating power of committing to a lifetime of projects. He also discusses the challenges involved and ways of overcoming them along the way.

Additional topics include:

how the resistance prevents us from living how we want to live
how seeing helps us innovate and inspire
what he and Guy Kawasaki missed when they failed to see
how we develop smart intuition
ways to choose worthwhile projects
when to end a project or simply to walk away and leave a legacy
how to make it through the dip when most people quit
how the modern economy rewards big problem solvers
how committing to a life of problem solving gives our lives meaning
how the power of relationships allows us to do amazing things (like speak in London)

Seth also talks about the role of curiosity in his life and the big revelation that led him to start rethinking life and work.
