Start With Why by Simon Sinek

“Start With Why” by Simon Sinek delves into the fundamental question of why some individuals and organizations are more successful and influential than others. Sinek argues that it’s not just about what you do or how you do it, but rather about why you do it. He introduces the concept of the Golden Circle, which consists of three concentric circles: why, how, and what.

At the core of the Golden Circle is the “why” – the purpose, cause, or belief that inspires and drives individuals or organizations. Sinek asserts that truly great leaders and organizations start with a clear understanding of their “why” before moving on to the “how” and “what.” By focusing on their underlying purpose and values, they are able to attract loyal followers and achieve long-term success.

Throughout the book, Sinek provides numerous examples, ranging from Apple to Martin Luther King Jr., to illustrate how starting with why can transform ordinary endeavors into extraordinary ones. He also outlines actionable strategies for individuals and organizations to identify and articulate their why, inspiring others to join them in their mission.

“Start With Why” is not just a book about business; it’s a powerful manifesto for anyone seeking to make a difference in the world by understanding the deeper motivations behind their actions and harnessing the power of purpose to drive meaningful change.
