Simon Sinek - nice guy still tells it straight

There's a part at the end where he says he gives this way as it's inline with his why.

it sums it up nicely. If you want to know a fundamental of business and perhaps your own psychology listen to this, it's not complicated and full of examples if it were to seem that way.

inspirational.

Why not?

I loved this book, as a previous convert to Simon Sinek's priorities of life and ways of thinking I was happy to listen to him for 7 hours. I took a lot away from his book and enjoyed hearing about the foundation which some companies choose to live by and define themselves with. There was a very strong appreciation of Apple and Harley Davidson which was continually reverted back too like an anchor dragging as the ship tries to move, perhaps this book was meant as an incentive to inspire you into more of Simon Sinek's seminars and writings but I felt with the repetition it held him back from disclosing more and I would have appreciated more variety, or instances of smaller companies. Or Simon possibly taking a risk of more detail into what he thought rather than giving examples. Overall I appreciated the book and judge companies practices quite severely because of it. Perhaps it is a good book because I felt the author could have given more and I know I will come back to it and read it again.

Repetitive and dated

Sinek is a good narrator, though at times he comes across as quite smug. This book was written in 2009 and the examples Sinek uses are now showing their age. His core message comes through, but it is quite repetitive, as ar his illustrative examples. There are flashes of interesting content, but this could've been done in 30 minute YouTube video. Look for newer content if looking for motivational works on leadership, ethos and drive.

Sound message, but its delivery is a struggle.

This book could have been summed up pretty succinctly, but it goes on for way too long. It was bit tough going to finish this - and whilst its core message is sound, the book becomes repetitive.

wow

Highly recommended. Changed my perspective in many ways. Glad I came across this great book.

Exceptional read/ listen in my opinion full of plenty of great innovations and ideas to improve ourselves not only in leadership and workforce but also in our personal lives
Highly recommend Simon Sinek to boost inspiration we all have within 👍👍👍

Apple Obsessed

it's an okay message. But Simon talks about Apple way too much. I think he failed to translate to a personal level. He always said you can make this work at a personal level but never really gets to it or gives good examples.

Gradual Betterment

this book has inspired me to make personal changes to reach My goals on a personal level not a business level I've found that the information and finding about finding your why and working with your why being the foundation
hit home for me
