    Question A linchpin or a cog?

    Do you feel a resistance to capture everything?

    Or to process and organize?

    Or to review your system?

    Or to look at your @context lists and actually do something?

    Horizons of focus will help you prioritize your goals but first you've got to have these goals.

    The most recent Seth Godin's book "Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?" may help you see the world differently and understand why you are not looking at your lists (your lizard brain tries to stop you). Hopefully you will be motivated to rethink your life strategy and decide if you want to be a linchpin or a cog.

    I've just read the Kindle version of this book and I highly recommend it. It may be one of the most important books of 2010.

    Oogiem,

    Have you checked your settings under the kindle management page. I live in Pittsburgh, PA and I'm able to purchase without any trouble.
    Sorry you having problems.

    I just sent myself the sample of the book and it worked fine.

    Default Me too

    Oogie,

    I'm seeing the same thing you are seeing. Most likely, this book is caught up in a publishing dispute with Amazon somehow. I hope this kind of thing isn't going to keep happening.

    Question Really?

    Really? I can't believe! I thought that every Kindle publication is available in the USA!

    With Kindle version of "Linchpin" I've received a free bonus - Seth Godin's e-book "Insubordinate".

    "Linchpin" is a very emotional manifesto about the new opportunities for creative people in the Internet economy.

    I am 60% on the book on the US Kindle.

    Its nice to be able to openly admit when my Lizard Brain is messing up with me...

    Default Got it from the Sony EReader Store

    Thanks so much for the suggestion.

    I just finished "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe..." on the reader and loved it. And I was looking for the next book.

    BTW - Born to Run totally motivated me to run again. And I'm loving it.
