The Dip is his way of presenting instructive advice on a topic that's engaged me for more than 30 years: human persistence. Yes, the initial enthusiasm of choosing a new direction is wonderful to feel but when the rubber meets the road and the fun must turn into work that's when things get serious. It can quickly turn smiles upside down. That's why I developed an on-line "machine" called H.E.R.O. that anyone can use free of charge. It's designed to force the user to examine past personal victories in such a way that a general immune-like response to failure is triggered. Human physical (hard)immunity is tremendously intelligent but when some of that intelligence is made available to the thinking it becomes mindset (soft) immunity. To succeed at anything the motivation should be blasting upward from the gut (brain) to the head (brain). Not the other other way around. Once that's all in place good instruction, like that which is contained in "The Dip", is much easier to follow. If its placed on top of such authentic motivation it becomes more organic. With books like this added to the mix, one should be quite capable of beating the odds stacked against them. I'd hate to be the one to compete with such a force as that. Loved your review of "The Dip". Seth Godin is one of the most intuitive writers around. The Dip is his way of presenting instructive advice on a topic that’s engaged me for more than 30 years: human persistence.

She claims she is all out to protect children, yet she fully supports placing young children on sex offender registries just for playing doctor! She also supports placing many teens on the registry for having consensual relationships with other teens. Apparently, she is not out to protect children because she doesn't believe these kids are any different than serial rapists! What an ass! Oprah is just a deceptive media whore who cares more about her ratings than telling the truth. To hell with Oprah! Oprah is a fraud!

The real situation with Oprah, I believe, is that she simply had come to a position to exploit all the common cliched troubles in America and make it seem like she cared in doing so. If you look at the history within her company and within her interventions you see a biased-ness. Behind the scenes, you really had to "qualify" for her consideration. To make a long story short, it is the overwhelming superficial America that gives her power and support. Most of which are looking for guidance in areas where they should take the responsibility of their lives their own selves, instead of from a prime-time false saviour.

Everyone knows what she has done for african black girls but what about American black girls? Oprah needs to have the lights dim on her face so she can look into the audience and find who they are. More and more people don't like her. I used to LOVE oprah's show. I slowed down watching it about 3 years ago... then she has really turned me off with her racism. I REFUSE to watch her show!

Liked your comment some way back on online blog ghost towns. Shame, as there are some very creative communities among bloggers which reinforce others. All the best for the big 40.
