Top positive review

Know your Why, How and What for individuals or organisations.

Reviewed in Australia on 3 February 2020

Leading with WHY has a deeper, more emotional and ultimately more influential value.
Use stories and themes to create a Why statement: To (contribution) So That (impact)
For large organisation Why statements can be nested down to individuals.
Having a valid why and that is shown and practised creates competitive advantage.

Definitely not my first choice for finding my raison d'être

Reviewed in Australia on 6 March 2020

It might be good for a large organisations but I could find little of practical value. It seems to be a summary of one of their workshops and looses a lot in the translation to the printed page.
If you are looking for this type of advice it may pay lo look elsewhere.

Disappointed. I really don't need this kind of common sense advice with cute Illust. I will return it.

Disappointing

Maybe my fault, but unclear from description that I would need a willing volunteer to sit down with me and do all the exercises as none of them are designed to be for you to do on your own. Not knowing anyone who would to want to spend hours discussing my purpose in life made this book effectively useless. Very disappointing.

What's been going on with training books while i wasn't looking? Twee labels (What's with the tribes? If I were a member of a bona fide tribe, I'd get pretty fed up with this appropriation), stick figures, folksy style, reassuring big print and coloured pages - all in a format three times as bulky and heavy as it needs to be.
Which is not to say I don't have time for Simon Sinek's basic insights; they are perceptive and useful. But watch a TED talk and save the trees.

Not a patch on Start With Why

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2021

Verified Purchase

The quality and layout design of this book are good, but the content is not. The information is repetitive and information and examples seem to be snatched from 40-year-old counselling books, hackneyed old fashioned and sound very scripted. Other bits are simply information gleaned from the Flesch-Readability score. Anyone who reads this book with a spec of knowledge will recognise much of it from their own general knowledge, nothing new in the authors thinking. I expected more after the book Start With Why, this companion workbook does not live up to it I'm afraid and the ideas are disappointing to what I expected them to be after reading Start With Why (which is one of my top books - though that book was waffly and repetitive towards the end like Simon had run out of ideas and was just filling up a books worth, it should have been half the size)

Leider enttäuschend

Reviewed in Germany on 22 July 2018

Begeistert vom TED-Talk und auch aufgrund der vielen positiven Rezensionen hatte ich mir einiges von diesem Buch versprochen. Als Einzelunternehmer hatte ich mir eine Anleitung zur Selbstreflexion erhofft. Diese Möglichkeit gibt die Systematik des Buches leider nicht. Das Entwickeln des eigenen Why ist nur mit Hilfe eines Partners möglich. Und wie diese abläuft, ist auch schnell zusammengefasst, das hätte auf 1-2 Seiten gepasst. Wie auch das begleitende Sachbuch ist der Inhalt hier sehr aufgeplustert. Wenn auch Einzelpersonen bedacht werden, ist mein Eindruck doch, dass der Autor und seine Mitarbeiter sehr stark in Konzernwelten denkt. Ich als Einzelunternehmer fühle mich davon nicht angesprochen und abgeholt. Möglicherweise mögen Leute, die mit Teams arbeiten, mehr aus diesem Buch rausholen können. Doch dieser - auch recht ausführlichen Teil - ist für mich persönlich uninteressant. Daher geht das Buch zurück.

Not a book

Reviewed in Germany on 9 March 2018

First of all it is NOT written by Simon Sinek, It contains notes of two motivated colleagues (fans) of Simon Sinek who know Simon Sinek as a hero who has newly discovered "Why are we here".
Some of his ideas are Ok but nothing really scientific or spectacular. Watching the trends and considering what ppl are suffering from is not really hard to harvest.
A good public speaker, a bad writer, a lost theorist.
