Daedelus and his son Icarus were imprisoned in a tower. Daedelus, great artist that he was, made wings for him and his son, Icarus, and with these they would make their escape. Daedelus famously warned Icarus about flying too close to the sun, lest the heat melt the wax that held his wings together. We all know that part of the legend. That part that we forget is where Daedelus also warns Icarus about flying too low, lest the sea foam soak his wings' feathers. And it's with this latter warning that Seth Godin makes his narrative hay (while the sun of the reader's attention shines). So don't settle with mediocrity. That's the message, and it's a good one. blog dumps..endless babbling..pseudo-inspirational endless, mindless, randomness babbling gibby..it is inspirational but I personally believe inspirations came from within and the "sudden tipping point"..not from constant nagging blog dumps...my first time reading SG...as a ultramarathon runner..I can see his point just to help people to break away from the low fly zone..but it did not do anything to me..and if it helps others, it is great..but super boring book..
What do You think about Icarus Deception The (2012)?
I didn't like the blog format of this book. I suggest readers to just follow Seth Godins blog.

Similar to the other books written by Seth Godin. A good read.
