Godin argues for a future where everyone's contributions are valued, advocating for self-initiation over waiting for external validation, urging us towards a world of zero unemployment by embracing our unique contributions and connections.

Quotes to ponder:

"The connection economy doesn’t create jobs where we get picked and then get paid; the connection economy builds opportunities for us to connect, and then demands that we pick ourselves."

"Trust, Permission, Remarkability, Leadership, Stories that spread, and Humanity: connection, compassion, and humility are the result of successful work by humans who refuse to follow industrial-age rules."

"We don’t worship industrial the way we used to. We seek out human originality and caring instead."
