Am I the only person who finds Godin un-inspiring/non-thought-provoking?

  "Am I the only person who finds Godin un-inspiring/non-thought-provoking?" No! I find that most of his books are blown up versions of very obvious ideas. Maybe he is a genius and visionary and I just don't see it. Shrug.

    He's an incredibly effective pulp manufacturer. Before his MBA-junk streak, he produced novelizations of NES games!

    I thought Purple Cow and All Marketers are Liars were ok, but his online professional marketing persona is all aphorism and no substance.

  That is highly unlikely. However, if you find nothing he writes inspiring/thought-provoking, then I think you are prejudiced against him based on reading a few things you didn't find worthy. People rarely become famous by being complete hacks: this guy has sensible and valuable things to say. Now I don't read his stuff anymore because there isn't enough of value in it for me, but YMMV.
