f you're stuck at the starting line, you don't need more time or permission. You don't need to wait for a boss's okay or to be told to push the button; you just need to poke.

Poke the Box is a manifesto by bestselling author Seth Godin that just might make you uncomfortable. It's a call to action about the initiative you're taking--in your job or in your life. Godin knows that one of our scarcest resources is the spark of initiative in most organizations (and most careers)--the person with the guts to say, "I want to start stuff."

Poke the Box just may be the kick in the pants you need to shake up your life.
