Jamie Spencer: Brilliant book providing great insight into the main areas of focus in both perosnal and business growth looking into the core reasoning that we should be focusing on instead of the results or benefits we can provide our clients or friends

Felicia Butts: I feel like this book will help you focus on what you should be doing career wise than what you feel like you have to do.

Kindle Customer: Really liked the examples provided with real world application. However, I felt like the messages were a bit redundant. Overall, I recommend this read for all leaders,employees, and consumers.

Grete: I'm a person with low patience when it comes to time. If you do need to have things repeated 100 times from different angles, it a book for you. I don't feel that I know more than when I just watched Simon's Ted talk. Just start with understanding why you do what you do :)

Tirth Patel: Simon Sink describes in his book "Start with Why: How Great
Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action" how leaders and companies should work as a series of circles, i.e. "The Golden Circle" - the why, how, and what. This idea explains why organizations and leaders inspire the others. Everybody knows what they do, some know how they do it, very few people know why they do what they do. The way we communicate, think and act is very easy: we go from the clear things we know to the more fuzzy ones. The WHY theory gives us the ability to communicate why we are doing certain things, helps entrepreneurs take better decisions, as well as individuals in the every day life.
All in all, the most important fact Simon Sine is trying to point out is that the way something is communicated must be believed in, explained, and people accept it for themselves, because THEY believe in it. It is a very inspiring, enlightening and insightful book that I would recommend to anyone!

Jaison: "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that delves into the concept of purpose and its impact on success, leadership, and personal fulfillment. Through real-life examples and engaging narratives, Sinek challenges conventional thinking and encourages readers to embrace their "why" to drive meaningful change. Here's my review of this influential book:

Insightful Concept:
The central idea of "Start With Why" revolves around the power of purpose and the significance of understanding the "why" behind our actions. Sinek argues that great leaders and organizations, regardless of their field, start by clarifying their purpose and conveying it authentically to inspire others. This concept encourages readers to dig deeper into their motivations, values, and beliefs, fostering a greater sense of purpose in both personal and professional endeavors.

Compelling Examples:
Throughout the book, Sinek presents numerous real-life examples that illustrate the importance of starting with why. From successful companies like Apple and Southwest Airlines to influential leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Sinek effectively demonstrates how a clear...

B. L. Keller: While the subtitle of this book (How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action) suggests that the content is for leaders of large organizations, I believe the book's details can apply to all kinds of leaders and businesses.
The main mantra of the book is:

People don’t buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it.

The book includes stories of many different companies. Some were successful, and others were not. The successful ones were led by individuals who strongly believed in something (they had a Why), which was the business's guiding principle. The unsuccessful companies may have started out doing well, but when they lost their focus on their Why, or if the person who had that vision left the organization, the business started to falter.

I agree with the author’s point that having a strong Why for your business can help that business be successful. I highlighted all the successful companies and individuals in the book and want to study them further. Here’s an alphabetical list of who I intend to examine:

- Apple & Steve Jobs
- Bridgeport Financial
- Ernest Shackleton
- Harley Davidson
- Henry Ford
- Ron Bruder — Education...

John H. Hwung: THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK EVER PUBLISHED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS!!!

If I could give this book 10 stars, I would! This book beats many other books. This book is so exciting to read that I read it three times! The beginning of the book said it extremely well -- This book is about an unique kind of leadership that has the natural recurring pattern of inspiring, influencing and affecting people. It is about a very small group of leaders that achieve disproportionate amount of influences in their industries/areas compare to other leaders. The most prominent example is, of course, Steve Jobs who displayed a recurring pattern of changing one industry after another.

(Of all the books that study Steve Jobs, this is probably the best one although it is not a book on Jobs' biography. However, this book offers the best angle to understand his motivation and influence.)

The core of this book is about the kind of WHYs that a special kind of leaders has that enable them to have the natural recurring pattern of inspiring, influencing and changing people and industries. The prime examples of this kind of leaders quoted in this book are Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the...
