Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action

In "Start with Why," Simon Sinek embarks on a quest to uncover what makes certain individuals and organizations not just successful, but truly exceptional and influential. Through captivating narratives and rigorous analysis, Sinek identifies a pattern common among icons such as Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers—a profound sense of purpose. Sinek introduces The Golden Circle, a revolutionary model that posits why outstanding leaders prioritize the question of "Why" they do what they do, before delving into the "How" and "What." This idea, simple yet transformative, illustrates how starting with "Why" can ignite passion, inspire action, and foster an environment of innovation and loyalty. Sinek's narrative is more than a business or leadership manual; it's a manifesto for anyone looking to instill a sense of purpose in their work, lead with inspiration, or simply understand the mechanics behind the success of some of the world's most revered leaders and organizations. "Start with Why" offers a blueprint for how to think, act, and communicate in ways that fundamentally alter the landscape of success. Through a plethora of real-world examples and a compelling argument for the power of purpose, Sinek's work challenges readers to look beyond the superficial layers of success to the core motive that drives it: the why.

People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe
