Yes, I would listen to Simon again. His voice is easy to listen to. I think Start With Why offers a unique way to evaluate why we are in the career or business that we have chosen. It seems like common sense but many times we forget our "why". He covers that in the book also.

Simon Sinek does a good analysis of Apple and the reasons behind its success.

I appreciated Simon's personal story which came at the end of the book. I think he could have moved his story to the front of the book, which would have helped me to understand how he came to his conclusions.

Be mindful of why first!

Simple change so impactful

From the Inside Out

Saw Simon speak at a convention and was hooked! I was able to see mistakes of own organization and how I could make an impact by making simple changes of my own thought process! Practical, enlightening, inspiring! A great message to act on!

yes alot of great stuff

Its so simple its something i never thought about. It has change the way view my team

yes

I enjoyed listening to Simon Sinek. I liked thinking about "why." However, the book was repetitive, and I was unconvinced that the success stories were because of the "why." I'm also not sure why the content focused so much on gimmicks and rebates--if the conclusion was to focus on why.

This book made me angry above all else. It was a waste of time and money. I cannot fathom how this title got so many positive reviews here.

In general the book makes the following "point":

Successful endeavors are lead by people with a clear sense of purpose. These people start with "why", and then figure out the "how" and the "what" from there.

Nothing in this book added substantially to that. As others have pointed out, you can get the same content for free by watching the author's TED talk. He makes assertions in this book that range from the trite to the utterly ridiculous - all delivered as if he were revealing some great discovery. The impression I get is that his "research" consisted of the perusal of some Wikipedia articles on success stories like Apple and Steve Jobs, the Wright Brothers, Martin Luther King, etc.

It was all so fluffy and general and absolutely without substance. Again, I am at a complete loss as to how it could have even gotten published, let alone garnered positive reviews.

Folks I am sorry for the negativity but I am truly miffed at this one. Mr. Simon Sinek is now BANNED from my bookshelves. Fool me once ...

It has the advantage of being read by the author and his passion for the topic and the personal anecdotes ring true. Only issue is that the diagrams would be handy. Why not upsell me a printed copy for a couple of bucks?

Golden Triangle

Have not read others.

It gave me an "aha" moment - very important right now as I start up a new business.

Again, upsell me a printed/kindle version that I can use as a field text.

Really great information that (along with Daniel Pink's "Drive") that get to the core of human nature....Informative, well researched, and helpful for all aspects of your life: work, family, friends, and especially for yourself!

This is one of those great read books. I read a lot of books and I am NOT one that reads a book then everyone in the company feels the effects. I'm a continuous improvement minded guy, I always try to pull something out of each book that allows me to improve upon myself or the companies overall performance. I read this book and found myself writing a "Why" statement for my company...which just happened to aid in some CAB (Customer Advisory Board) initiatives we were working on. This book did a great job getting you into the right mindset to look at "Why" you do what you do...get to the core purpose which creates a strong foundation...a foundation that everything stems from. I would highly recommends this book to anyone running their own company, branch, division, etc...

Yes, I plan on listening to this book again. Several chapters in this book that I want to review and implement.

n/a

No, this book requires daily reading.

Great book for understanding your own personal belief system and uncovering your own personal why.

An amazing listen for those looking for an insight into figuring the reason for their existence at home and at work. Why am I doing this? Why did a company do what they did, the way they did it and succeed?

Simon did a great job in both writing and narrating his book on the 'sense of why' and how it is the heart of the golden circle!
