Big Moo in Amazon Top 100 Books Sales

October 29th, 2005 by Hal

Seth Godin is on a mission — to drive out the ordinary. He's collaborated with 32 top thinkers to show us how. It is a follow-on to Seth's Purple Cow and Free Prize Inside.

The Big Moo has been available for less than 14 days. It's already in the third printing and this weekend became an Amazon best seller. All royalties go to three charities Junior Diabetes Research Foundation, Room to Read, and Acumen Fund. Already, Seth reports one school has been constructed.

I had the pleasure of getting advance copies. Here are two previous reviews: Stop Trying to Be Perfect? and Plant Rocks. Learn to become remark-able while benefiting three fine charities.

Thank you for publicizing this remarkable book. Seth’s vision in donating profits to make the world a better place is very inspiring. I can tell you from firsthand knowledge that a lot of children in the developing world are gaining access to new schools and libraries as a result.

Warm regards

Humility Makes Toyota Different

From the Lean Insider: Speaking to Toyota employees at the Detroit Auto Show President Watanabe asked that they take responsibility for recent quality problems.

"I do not regard the problem as something that suppliers are responsible for. We must work together so that we are fully aware of where suppliers are."

Bernstein closes saying, "At Toyota, they know that doing the best job of serving the customer is what makes the company profitable."
