If you have recently started a new job or internship I would highly recommend reading Seth Godin’s new book The Dip.

I just picked it up last night at Barnes and Noble. It is only 80 pages but of the first 40 I have read, I am extremely impressed. Most of you reading this blog will be familiar with Seth Godin from his extremely influential and popular blog about business and life. His new book is a good reminder for all of us that we need more than desire to be the best in our job and in life; we need focus.

Some of the highlights that I have picked up so far include:

- The Dip is the valley between average and great
- Most of us have too much on our plate to be the best at whatever we have set out to do.
- Focus is better than being well rounded
- Diversification isn’t always good.
- Quitting isn’t always bad

If you have read Seth’s book or are reading it let me know what you think.

Thanks and have a great weekend!
