'My favorite line is "Quit or be exceptional. Average is for losers"'
Wow. That's inane. Yes, 'exceptional' is a fine goal, but there are many people doing pretty good by being pretty good.
Godin's books have struck me as little more than collections of pithy but ill-supported aphorisms, where the reader brings more to the book than is actually there. People find what they want to find, to "prove" what they want to believe.
(I'm sure there's some value in that, though by no means exceptional.)
