Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point-really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip-a temporary setback that will get better if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try. According to bestselling author Seth Godin, what really sets superstars apart from everyone else is the ability to escape dead ends quickly, while staying focused and motivated when it really counts. Winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt-until they commit to beating the right Dip for the right reasons. In fact, winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can become number one in your niche, you'll get more than your fair share of profits, glory, and long-term security. Losers, on the other hand, fall into two basic traps. Either they fail to stick out the Dip-they get to the moment of truth and then give up-or they never even find the right Dip to conquer. Whether you're a graphic designer, a sales rep, an athlete, or an aspiring CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you're in a Dip that's worthy of your time, effort, and talents. If you are, The Dip will inspire you to hang tough. If not, it will help you find the courage to quit-so you can be number one at something else. Seth Godin doesn't claim to have all the answers. But he will teach you how to ask the right questions. Average Rating:
 Rating: - GoodI found this book to be a pretty good self-check catalyst. It won't answer questions for you, but will show you what questions to ask yourself. Rating: - Are You In A Dip?When I was young, I rarely read anything. Even all the way through school when I had book reports to do, I never read the entire book. I had no motivation, no mentor sharing with me the importance of reading, and basically always found other things to do. But as I've grown, matured, gained in wisdom, I've found that reading is one of the most important things you can do to grow as a person. The most recent book I've completed is Seth Godin's "The Dip". It's a small book, at only 80 ... Read More Rating:  - another self-hate book makes the roundsThere must be well over five thousand self-help books now since the self-help movement began in the mid-sixties, and "The Dip" is the next evolution of titles that gets you to exchange your money for wisdom you can find on bumper stinkers. The formula, which was once a sprawling set of lists and rules to remember (here's the "ten steps to success," here's the "twenty-one stages of recovery," here's the "cave of the unknown," the "palace of infinite possibilities" - are you sick yet?), is now collapsed ... Read More Rating:  - Concise"This book is really short. Short books are hard to write, but you made me do it. My readers are excellent correspondents, and this is something I've learned from them along the way: Write less." --Seth Godin Damn straight. This book is an exercise in brevity. I often recommend that readers preview a key chapter before deciding whether to commit to a book. No need with this one--just take an extra 20 minutes and read the whole thing. Borrow it instead of buying it; the key points will ... Read More Rating: - Very important concept but could have been written betterThis book is confusing. When I first read it I was down-right angry - it seemed trivial and a complete waste of time. I even went as far as to write a horrible review about it here at amazon. But... On the next day I was studying Japanese and it was so difficult I seriously thought about quiting and that's when I heard Seth's voice "Hard things are the successful man's best friend...they ward off competiton, they make you unique...embrace them". At that point the thought about quitting was no ... Read More
