Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

This is a preachy, slightly condescending, some what annoying, repetitive book about how to thrive in a new era of work and a new economy. Sounds like I'm down on it, aye? Not at all. I loved it. It is full of ideas that are perfect for creative professionals. It outlines our past economy, school system, work mindsets and ideas about work. Bit by bit, it builds up a case for how to thrive doing what you love, giving to others and doing 'art'. His definition of art is broad, conceptual and not at all traditional. His ideas are based in capitalism, but it speaks about the importance, benefit's and necessity of giving gifts with no expectation of reciprocation.
Although there were many new ideas in here, most are ones that we all know to be true and don't do enough or have heard and discounted. They have been tied together in a way to make an inspirational case to be creative, generous and to not let an excuse get in the way.
Just, be for-warned. It's tone and style are annoying at times. ;)
