The inspiring, life-changing bestseller by the author of LEADERS EAT LAST and TOGETHER IS BETTER.
 
In 2009, Simon Sinek started a movement to help people become more inspired at work, and in turn inspire their colleagues and customers. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, including more than 28 million who’ve watched his TED Talk based on START WITH WHY -- the third most popular TED video of all time.
 
Sinek starts with a fundamental question: Why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over?
 
People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. 
 
START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who've had the greatest influence in the world all think, act, and communicate the same way -- and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.

Listener Opinions

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Cheng Y | 9/10/2017

    " Simon's analysis of a simple Law of The Universe decodifies how we can bridge our behaviour backwards to the reasons we make those behavioural decisions. And finding those reasons can be a practical guide on how to stimulate desired decisions. Very useful! "

  • 0 out of 50 out of 50 out of 50 out of 50 out of 5 Kevin Rowe | 6/23/2017

    " this book is a game changer. A must-have for anyone that wants lasting success and Legacy "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Jeanie H | 3/11/2017

    " I really enjoyed this book! I know there are some negative reviews but I listened to this while pulling weeds one day and it helped me draft a product ad for a dentist the next day. I recommend it! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Eric | 2/20/2014

    " Book was on the CSAF Reading List, so of course I had to give it a whirl. Definitely meant for any problem solving scenario and/or starting and maintaining a business. Over half the book is looking at Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and what they did with Apple, but there are many other vignettes throughout the book. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Paul Gustavson | 2/20/2014

    " Watch Simon's TED Talk. If that inspires (and it will) - then this book will inspire you. As for me. I plan to read it again. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Madeline Wright | 2/8/2014

    " "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek is an analysis of how visionary leaders are able to cultivate success and others are not by simply communicating the concept of why they believe what they do to draw others who believe the same thing to their cause. I enjoyed the first 65 page or so, but then book seemed to start over and repeat the same thing (using the same examples). I would recommend this book for those who want to experience the concept in the author's TED talk in a different way, but I tend to agree with Loy Machedo's review. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Melissa | 2/3/2014

    " 3.5 stars. Read because I loved his TED Talk on the subject. Interesting stuff. I especially liked the sections where he discussed the limbic brain and its capacity for decision making but not language. We make decisions based on feelings and then try to rationalize and articulate them after the fact. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Jen Johnson | 2/2/2014

    " the information in this book seemed pretty common sense to me, and the examples were a little narrow in focus "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Chad Holdorf | 1/26/2014

    " Good stuff for personal and business. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Mike Phillips | 1/23/2014

    " A must for any leader or person looking to add purposeful direction to their life. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Graeme | 1/18/2014

    " Not a brilliant book but useful none-the-less. Introduces the idea of going from why to how to what. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Mualpha | 1/9/2014

    " Started good but I kind of lost interest at the end. Not sure why? "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Gregg Tushaus | 12/25/2013

    " Start With Why offers good lessons with good examples that are difficult yet important to do in practice. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Roberta | 12/16/2013

    " The idea is good, if not original. The book was repetitive and ultimately boring. A good reminder though. Check out the TED talk. Much better. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Kari | 11/23/2013

    " All the stuff my religion teaches me. Nice to see the world catching up. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Topherjaynes | 11/21/2013

    " Great book to jump start your thinking process. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Ben Love | 11/17/2013

    " Another basic leadership skill stretched out as far as it can go to fill a book. Some solid minor tips in here for team engagement. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Spencer Thompson | 11/8/2013

    " Amazing book, best business principles on the planet "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Debera | 9/27/2013

    " I thought it was really good. Fits in well with a policy governance board of directors. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 J. | 6/4/2013

    " Builds on TED video. Not much, especially given how many pages it has. But pretty good read. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Dave | 3/17/2013

    " Primarily just one big concept--"great organizations start with a cause rather than a profit motive"--but very well explained and thought out. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Cindy Warren milliken | 10/4/2012

    " brilliant advice and encouragement for your life or your business "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Luke | 4/15/2012

    " Just watch the TED talk. Same stuff, shorter delivery. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Erik | 10/14/2011

    " Goed en makkelijk te lezen boek. Geeft eenvoudig richting aan visie en missie "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Katherine | 8/4/2011

    " Great concept, but hardly original. Could have been summarized in 20pgs. Vs 200+ "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Chantel Klassen | 6/6/2011

    " This book has been amazing. It has totally changed the way I think about my business and how I run it. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Zacho | 4/19/2011

    " Great book anyone interested in marketing should read. Great leaders and businesses start with why. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Scott | 4/1/2011

    " Thought shifting , strategy accelerant for the ambitious few who will do the heavy lifting "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Paul | 3/16/2011

    " Good ideas for discussion. I wish Malcolm Gladwell had written it -- the writing and editing isn't as strong here as it could be. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Ryan | 3/10/2011

    " I enjoy watching him speak more, but god damn that is probably one of my favourite books. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Marla | 2/16/2011

    " great book, definitely one i will keep and refer back to often! "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Jinvanstee | 2/9/2011

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Travis | 1/5/2011

    " A good book about a brilliant idea. I was disappointed that he'd didn't finish the book with some exercises to determine our WHY.

    Save yourself some time an watch Simon EXCELLENT TED talk. It's great. "
