For me, Seth Godin is about defining a vocabulary around being a productive and decent human-being and thinking about your approach and psychology. I think the ideas help the reader to navigate in this complex world without having a cynical worldview.

I have just read the last blog post and I believe it is about the amygdala and creative process.

"Dance with it." is probably a reference to a topic he has written in several blog posts and books. He just plants some ideas here and there. As an example, yesterday, I watched MIT OCW video "How To Speak by Patrick Winston" where he tells to repeat the subject at least 3 times. I immediately remembered this blog post: https://seths.blog/2010/12/you-will-be-misunderstood/

I agree with 1123581321's points. In addition, he always narrates his own audiobooks. The Dip is one of the first audiobooks I have listened to. He has a clear easy to understand voice.

While I can understand Seth's content may not work for everyone. It works for me. I like the man enough to regard him as a role-model so my channels are open for him(permission marketing maybe?). I also find his writing fun.

HT to Seth :)
