Book Description

21 Sep 2011
We Are All Weird is a celebration of choice, of treating different people differently and of embracing the notion that everyone deserves the dignity and respect that comes from being heard. The book calls for end of mass and for the beginning of offering people more choices, more interests and giving them more authority to operate in ways that reflect their own unique values.

For generations, marketers, industrialists and politicians have tried to force us into little boxes, complying with their idea of what we should buy, use or want. And in an industrial, mass-market driven world, this was efficient and it worked. But what we learned in this new era is that mass limits our choice because it succeeds on conformity.

As Godin has identified, a new era of weirdness is upon us. People with more choices, more interests and the power to do something about it are stepping forward and insisting that the world work in a different way. By enabling choice we allow people to survive and thrive.

There are only 750 copies of the hardcover available from Amazon.co.uk, with no reprints planned.

Jacqueline Novogratz Reviews We Are All Weird

Jacqueline Novogratz is founder and CEO of Acumen Fund, a non-profit global venture capital fund that uses entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of global poverty. Acumen Fund has invested over $50 million of patient capital in 50 businesses that have impacted more than 40 million people in the past year alone. Any money returned to Acumen Fund is reinvested in enterprises serving the poor. Currently, Acumen has offices in New York, Mumbai, Karachi, and Nairobi. Read her guest review of Seth Godin's We Are All Weird:

Seth Godin's latest book We Are All Weird is a song of freedom, an exuberant manifesto with the richness of choice that comes with wealth, the markets, the internet, our increasing connection with one another across the globe. He argues that the era of mass marketing is over (thankfully) and that as humans we seek not just to consume but to "connect," and therefore we find those who love what we love and, when it works best, create or join "tribes." We are allowed, indeed, encouraged to be individuals, to specialize rather than fit in or be "normal" and this is where richness begins. As Seth says, "Stuff is not the point." Connection, choice, pursuing what we love is.

Seth has advised the organization I founded, Acumen Fund, for many years. He constantly reminds us to be unafraid to focus on a small group of believers who make the choice to opt-in; and I can see that lesson elucidated brilliantly in We Are All Weird. We have the extraordinary luxury of choice and, for the most part, of doing what we want to do. How we use that choice to make the lives of others around us the richer for being connected to us is critical to Seth's evolving understanding of marketing and creating systems that release rather than stifle our energies—regardless of who we are, where we live, or what language we may speak. Read this book slowly and read it again for the lessons are rich and wise. I couldn't feel prouder to be a part of Seth's tribe.

--Jacqueline Novogratz


Review

"This is a book about giving a damn. It's about caring about what you do and (as importantly) who you do it for. Professional apathy is a relic of a dead era and, as Seth teaches brilliantly, a mentality you cling to at great peril. Everyone with a pulse and a paycheque should be living We Are All Weird."
--Chris Taylor, Founder of ActionableBooks.com

"This book will resonate with anyone who wants to lead a tribe, be authentic, dance to the beat of their own music and make a difference in the world. If your inner critic (the resistance) has been telling you that you are not enough, your work is not good enough and who do you think you are to make a difference, then buy this book. Let your freak flag fly high!"
--Sherold Barr, Master Coach + Freedom Fighter

"Seth has done it again. Open this book to almost any page. Read it, and change your thinking, your work, your life, or better express your art. Weird how he does this, isn't it?"
--Rob Berkley, Executive Coach, VisionDay.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Bang on, really bang on 3 Oct 2011
By DK
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think you get Seth Godin, or you don't. If you do and you read other books by him and others then you start to see where marketing is really going. This book, out of context is a nice read, I read it in 1 hour on my Kindle and as always I was highlighting and note taking more than reading as each inspirational sentence followed another. It's a basic book but it prompts you to go and think and look up other subjects on how things have changed and where they're going right now.

In context however is where this book really scores. If you read other Seth Godin books then you'll have a history of what he's been banging on about over the years. He's the first to admit how its all changed now and you start to really see how this is obvious and right in front of your eyes. The book is sharp and accurate and the ideas in it really are where you need to be thinking. It practically destroys 50% of your marketing strategy in a 1 hour read!!

This book is one of the smaller Godin reads and had less in it but at the same time it almost had an air of unusual seriousness in it too. It really points out what you need to be doing as a marketing professional or business owner. It really is bang on!

I would thoroughly recommend this book, above and beyond any of Godin's other books. if you don't get it, read it anyway as its an enjoyable read and the ideas in it will get you thinking.

1.0 out of 5 stars we are all something 29 Sep 2011
Format:Hardcover
Read the book summary, and you've read the book. As for the reviews by the good and the great, one of us is on a different planet. Next time I'll just set fire to a ten pound note and save myself the postage

4.0 out of 5 stars Great writing style 22 Sep 2011
By SSP
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I enjoyed reading this because it is essentially talking about how the bell curve is now so flat, that it is now almost impossible to sell a single product or service to the masses. There are so many tastes and requirements from different groups of people that the old formula of marketing and selling in bulk just doesn't work any more.

What I liked about this book was the way that Seth describes these problems in a humorous and thought provoking way. I enjoyed the writing style.
