That is an inspiring take on slumps. Also I love Moleskines. So this was a great combo. @Alex - Thanks for stumbling! I read the paper version of The Dip, I wasn’t aware that there’s an eBook version as well. It’s a quick read, fun and thought-provoking. Thanks for the executive summary.

The dip is definitely a theory that can be applied to a project's lifetime. The only part that is missing is the possibility of "burning out" at the bottom of the first dip. I have used this curve to demonstrate the lifetime of start-up creations...many end up burning out at the end of the curve. Great post!

It sounds like you picked the right things and surfed the dip curve successfully. @Paunchiness - You're most welcome. I'm glad you liked the review and read the book again. And as far as wealth of knowledge is concerned...knowledge is worthless when not put into action. Ultimately it's about what you do, and not about what you know. @Coaching Employees – Sometimes you just have to hang in there.

But in general I think Seth Godin did a great job. Technically one could assume that there is the possibility of a straight line going upwards at a steady pace. But I think that people would follow the dip curve psychologically in that case. Thoughts like 'Could this be true?', 'This is far too predictable...' or even 'There's no dip here, we must be on a Cul-de-Sac' might just appear when faced with a predictable future :D @Michael – I can’t stop wondering whether the spike that follows the dip isn’t going to result in a new dip.
