Thank you, Seth

Linchpin moves me. It excites me for my future, for those who choose to do the emotional labor, and (more importantly) for the future of the world. Sometimes when I look around, it’s hard to be optimistic as I see people becoming cogs, giving in to the resistance. So when something comes around that gives me hope, I treasure it.
There’s a few pictures I want you to see
When I got to “and I dog-eared forty of the pages” I laughed. By the end it was more than that. Thanks.
You made it clear that not only do I need to press on and become an artist myself, but that I need to do whatever I can to encourage everyone around me to listen to their genius and become indispensable. Thanks for giving me some tools to start doing that. I’ve already got two friends who are eager to borrow my copy of your bright yellow book. I can’t right now, but in the future I’ll be buying more to give away.
I originally intended to write a review about this book but know I can’t to it justice with one piece. Instead of that, I’m going to base a series of posts on some of the bits that really struck me. You averaged about 1 per 5 pages. And that’s just on the first read. Thanks.
I’m glad you realize there’s no way I can repay you for this, but I sure wish there was.

Nice! I LOVE the photos. They say a picture is worth a thousand words but those shout a novel in themselves.
Thanks for sharing and I look forward to reading about your insights.
Cheers,

Agreed. This book is life changing. I felt like I was highlighting every other sentence.
