Very very funny. All the hallmarks of virality: fly-on-the-wall, social, instructional, highly analytical, authoritative tone, with an empowering moral. And a level of seriousness completely at odds with the data: a triumph of style over substance. In other words, total bullshit. A bunch of stoners start dancing, and that’s a big deal? Has the narrator ever got out of the management school library and gone to a party?

“The Richest Man in Babylon” was written in 1926.
Dale Carnegie’s “How to win friends and influence people” was published in 1937.

This post was is also more than a year old.
Does age diminish the value of a lesson?

This is such an awesome video. Derek actually inspired me to create a social movement to unleash ideas and build networks by doing 5-minute well prepared talks that are thought provoking, inspirational, and fun. I am up to six followers now and I am blogging about the experience. Going through the process I can totally relate to the lone nut and the importance of getting that first follower.

Hello, watching the lone nut did not make me feel uncomfortable for him – I did not find him ridiculous. The first follower I found a bit more ridiculous. And of course when the crowd came up that’s when I felt unease, and a bit of nausea.

Beating Seth to the punch is a tough ask… But we all need a goal, right?

Thanks Paul. I wasn’t aware of Godin’s post. I’ve updated this post to reflect that.
