About the book

The inspiring, life-changing bestseller updated for its 15th anniversary with a new foreword by the author

In 2009, Simon Sinek ignited a movement to help people find a greater sense of purpose at work and added a new word to the lexicon of business: WHY. People and companies now regularly talk about their WHY. Sinek’s videos have been seen by over a billion people around the world, including more than 65 million who’ve watched his TED Talk based on Start With Why.

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?

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.

People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common but they inspired people, not with WHAT they did...but with WHY they did it.

Sinek provides a new, easy to understand, framework that inspires people to build organizations and lead movements in a more powerful and effective way. And it all starts with WHY.

With a new foreword touching on the importance of holding onto our WHY in a distracted age, new examples, and original stories updated, this 15th anniversary edition celebrates a simple but transformative idea that has changed the way we think about leadership and legacy.

    Das einzige Buch, das man über Marketing und die eigene Motivation lesen muss. Wenn dein Warum (Why) und das Warum des Unternehmens klar sind, kommen die Motivation bzw. der Kunde mit dem gleichen Warum automatisch. :)

    Simon Sinek erklärt anhand des Golden Circle (Why, How und What), wie persönliche Motivation und im Kontext von Unternehmen begeisterte Kunden entstehen. Das Rennen nach mehr Konsum, Besitz usw. ist nur eine kurzfristige Befriedigung und führt, wenn das Why nicht klar ist, fast unvermeidlich in die Depression. Anstatt Faust sollte dieses Buch in den Schulen gelehrt werden. :)

    In Start with Why beschreibt Simon Sinek, dass erfolgreichen Menschen und Unternehmen gemeinsam ist, dass sie immer mit ihrem WARUM beginnen und dieses präsent halten.

    Anfangs hat mir das Buch wirklich gut gefallen. Es enthält einige super interessante Gedanken, insb auch zum Thema Marketing. Es enthält viele Beispiele, die sich aber auch oft im Buch wiederholen (unterstreicht natürlich den Punkt, ich fand es dadurch aber manchmal etwas eintönig). Insgesamt hatte ich oft den Eindruck, dass Dinge sehr lang ausgeführt und auch wiederholt werden, sodass ich das Buch für den Inhalt als zu lang empfunden habe. Trotzdem habe ich einige spannende Sichtweisen mitgenommen, hätte das Buch aber mit mehr Prägnanz mehr genossen.

    What a bloated book and a waste of time

    Watch the ted talk of 18 minutes and spare yourself the most repetitive book in the universe. The key points arent bad, golden circle, start with why, dont target the majority but the early adopters with marketing. The issue is that the book muches so long on the topic and goes on tangents regarding examples that at some point you forget what the point of all this was. This is probably also the book with the most errors in it and i am not even prone to catching them. But whole words were left in after rearranging sentences. His one idea was great, but the book execution is absolutely terrible.
