Books like Unleashing the Idea Virus by Seth Godin


Seth Godin is an adman's worst nightmare. He has made a career of exposing the limitations of traditional marketing methods while offering his own visionary solutions. Godin's manifesto argues that the marketer should not be at the center of successful marketing, but rather the customer. Godin believes that information is spread most effectively from customer to customer, rather than from business to customer, through a dialogue he calls the ideavirus. In lively detail, Godin looks at the ways companies such as Napster, Hotmail, GeoCities, even Volkswagen have successfully launched ideaviruses. He offers a recipe for creating your own ideavirus, identifies the key factors in the successful spread of an antivirus (powerful sneeezers, hives, a clear vector, a smooth friction-free transmisision) and shows how any business can use ideavirus marketing to succeed in a world that just doesn't want to hear it anymore from the traditional marketers. Unleashing the Ideavirus is the latest, brashest missive from the front lines of marketing in the twenty-first century.

The God virus by 10188518|Darrel Ray book cover

πŸ“˜ The God virus
 by Darrel Ray

Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris and Dennett opened the door to a hard nosed look at religion in our society but no one seemed to be using their concepts to explain the psychology of religion and its practical effects on people. Dr. Darrel Ray, psychologist and lifelong student of religion stepped into this gap to discuss religious infection from the inside out. How does guilt play into religious infection? Why is sexual control so important to so many religions? What causes the anxiety and neuroticism around death and dying? How does religion inject itself into so many areas of life, culture and politics? Dr. Ray explores this and much more in his book, The God Virus: How religion infects our lives and culture. This second generation book takes the reader several steps beyond Dawkins, et al. into the realm of the personal and emotional mechanisms that affect anyone who lives in a culture steeped in religion. He uses examples that anyone can relate to and gives real world guidance in how to deal with and respond to people who are religious among our families, friends and coworkers.
