Summary
In 2003, Seth Godin's Purple Cow challenged organizations to become remarkable: to drive growth by standing out in a world full of brown cows. It struck a huge chord and stayed on the Business Week best seller list for nearly two years. You can hear countless brainstorming meetings where people refer to purple cows and say things like, "That's not good enough. We need to create a big moo!"
But how do you create a big moo, an insight so astounding that people can't help but remark on it, like digital TV recording (TiVo) or overnight shipping (FedEx), or the world's best vacuum cleaner (Dyson)? Godin worked with 32 of the world's smartest thinkers to answer this critical question. And the team, with the likes of Tom Peters, Malcolm Gladwell, Guy Kawasaki, Mark Cuban, Robyn Waters, Dave Balter, Red Maxwell, and Randall Rothenberg on board, created an incredibly useful audiobook that's fun to listen to and perfect for groups to share, discuss, and apply.
The Big Moo is a simple audiobook in the tradition of Fish and Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. Instead of lecturing you, it tells stories that stick to your ribs and light your fire. It will help you to create a culture that consistently delivers remarkable innovations.

Thought provoking
Very interesting and novel approach. Small paragraphs written by multiple authors - something is bound to land on every reader

Great transformational thinking
I loved listening to Seth Godin in this audio primer for out of the box thinking, creating the big ideas, and boldly putting them forth to create the 'Big Moo' in the marketplace. His message about being remarkable is indeed more relevant than ever in today's society. I ordered copies of the book for my whole team. It will change your motivation and significantly increase your contribution. - Mark Emanuelson

Loved it - Snippets that stimulate
The reading as a noun and a verb in this audio book is excellent. Every one of the snippet is one better than the other. I have book marked so many of them and shared with many friends. Listen to this it is really power shots for your brain - will defintely help you to think in new perspectives in whatever you do.

Easily forgettable sound-bites
I suspect this is a marmite kind of book. It's a series of short and easily forgettable sound-bites which a gong in between each one which makes the listening easier. I am sure there is some very good stuff in here but for me it mostly went in one ear and out the other. My main takeaway was 'to be remarkable'.

So obvious it was painful - I couldn't finish it.
With advice like "listen to critics but don't get involved in a war of words with them" or "new hires often have good ideas because they see things from a different perspective", this book made me want to hit myself in the face. Hard. And I don't know why.
