About this ebook

Start With Why has led millions of readers to rethink everything they do – in their personal lives, their careers and their organizations.

Now Find Your Why picks up where Start With Why left off. It shows you how to apply Simon Sinek’s powerful insights so that you can find more inspiration at work -- and in turn inspire those around you.
 
I believe fulfillment is a right and not a privilege. We are all entitled to wake up in the morning inspired to go to work, feel safe when we’re there and return home fulfilled at the end of the day. Achieving that fulfillment starts with understanding exactly WHY we do what we do. 
 
As Start With Why has spread around the world, countless readers have asked me the same question: How can I apply Start With Why to my career, team, company or nonprofit? Along with two of my colleagues, Peter Docker and David Mead, I created this hands-on, step-by-step guide to help you find your WHY.

With detailed exercises, illustrations, and action steps for every stage of the process, Find Your Why can help you address many important concerns, including:
 
* What if my WHY sounds just like my competitor’s?
* Can I have more than one WHY?
* If my work doesn’t match my WHY, what should I do?
* What if my team can’t agree on our WHY?
 
Whether you've just started your first job, are leading a team, or are CEO of your own company, the exercises in this book will help guide you on a path to long-term success and fulfillment, for both you and your colleagues. 
 
Thank you for joining us as we work together to build a world in which more people start with WHY.
 
Inspire on!
-- Simon

Ratings and reviews

Favourite Quote : We can go through life hunting and pecking, looking for opportunities or customers, hoping that something connects. Or we can go through life with intention, knowing what our piece looks like, knowing our WHY, and going straight to the places we fit. (Chapter 1) Favourite Chapter : Chapter 6 shares about the Uribe brothers that have grown their father company and losing their Why in the process. The brothers set out to articulate their Why and How. Upon this discovery, they approached projects with clarity to bring their Why to life. Who should read it : This book is for those that really wants to find their Why or be a facilitator to conduct workshops. This is because you must really do the steps taught in the book. This book is to be shared with your partner who will be assisting you and for the facilitator that is conducting Why workshop for your company. This book is to be read after reading "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek.

I have not read it yet. If it's ever available for free I will be able to give it an honest rate. The sample is quite good so far.

having to cope w/ doing whatever with less, this would seemingly over-burden my minimal income for sure!!
