Marketing superstar Seth Godin explores why the economy isn't static, yet why we behave as if it is, in Poke the Box. In his book, Godin explores the anxiety behind failure and how we work so hard to compete without actually standing out or doing anything remarkable.
Godin suggests that in order to truly be excellent, we need to work harder at taking the initiative with things worth doing instead of trying so hard to just do what we're told. The book doesn’t give a lot of tactical advice, but it will make you question your own assumptions and challenge you to truly step out of the box.
