[...] Overview: I really liked this book. It is an academic, not application type of book. But, you can use it to determine whether or not you are maximizing your cognitive development.

Also introduces an interesting thought about video game rewards, that might be the future of workplace motivation. It is very interesting to read this in light of Drive by Daniel Pink. [...]

Comment on Linchpin – A Early Release Book Review by Alvin

We are reading this at the office now. Just got through the first chapter, and things aren’t making sense to me.

Mr. Godin seems to overly demonize the production (factory) culture when the fact is we created this for ourselves. “Cog” jobs exist because of the demand to consume cheap goods. He strives to bring out the artisan within the reader — these jobs are the fulfilling ones, he says. Now, let’s say we all become these awesome creative indispensable “linchpins”. Will we be willing to accept owning one pair of $300 shoes versus six pairs of slave-wage sneakers? Will we be willing to eat humanely-raised eggs from the artisanal farmer at $3/dozen?

I have a bad feeling that the answer is no. So what exactly has “culturally brainwashed” us (as Mr. Godin says) into mindless assembly line jobs other than our addiction to consuming cheap stuff?

It’s definitely fun to watch the fight between Starbucks and McDonalds over coffee these days. McDonalds is certainly putting up quite a fight.
