I co-authored an e-book with Seth Godin’s Triiibe!

Seth Godin recently wrote a book called Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us. He’s using the word “tribe” in the general sense to mean any community with a shared bond. (Kyeli’s face is on the inside front cover of Seth’s book! It’s so cool!) As soon as the book was pre-released, Seth also launched an invite-only social networking site called Triiibes, open only to readers of his blog who pre-ordered the book.

Triiibes turned out to be a friendly, fun group of people with an amazing talent for getting shit done. And here, my friends, is an example of that. We co-authored an e-book on the concept of tribes, which Seth released today as a counterpart to his book. Each of the co-authors wrote a case study on a particular tribe or a particular aspect of the nature of tribes.

You can download the e-book in PDF format here, or by clicking on the burning building. Feel free to share it, but don’t change it or sell it.

Have you read the Freak Revolution Manifesto? It tells the story of why there is so much hurt and sadness in the world, and how we can heal through connection.
