Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team Paperback – September 5, 2017

A great companion to its prequel, "Start with Why". The first book is trying to increase awareness and shift the entrepreneurial go-to approach from carrots, sticks, and other manipulations to inspiring people by starting with an empowering belief or set of beliefs. The sequel "Find your Why" is a bit more practical and offers step-by-step advice to find this inspiring belief at both personal and corporate level. It's a great read and I fully recommend it!

I purchased this for my wife work. She enjoy it.

I like the layout. The information was great. The only thing was that the whole book itself, isn't just for anybody... so there are parts that didn't pertain to me.

You've seen the Ted talk, you've read the book "Start With Why." Were you inspired? If so, I have one question for you (one that's asked in the very first story in the book): so what?Have you ever been inspired by a great book, a heroic act, a great speech, or a homily at church only to have several days pass by and the inspiration has worn off and nothing really has changed? I can wholeheartedly answer "yes" for myself. Inspiration is great, but it can only take us so far.Through "Find Your Why," Simon and crew have turned previous inspiration into present action and synthesized these into a workable aspiration (to live our why through action-oriented "how's" and results-based "what's") AND a side-helping of personal accountability. What's so unique (and haunting if you are thinking deeply about it--and you will because it's gripping) about this book is that it just doesn't tell you what you should be doing, or provide examples of strategies to do what it says, or is a re-hash of the first book: it engages you at your core to hold youself accountable; to not just courageously live it every day and in every relationship, but to have a formula where you can measure the evidence if you are true to who you are. This book reminds us that it is not "End With Why," because discovering it is only the beginning. Because of the principles in this book, I now know when I am out of line with my "why" and have the tools to diagnose the stress caused by "how's" working against my "why," and the empowerment to start, stop, and continue only the "what's" that are in alignment with my "why." Thanks to "Find Your Why," I can actually say "no" for the right reasons.Thank you, Simon, for living your "why" by inspiring people like me to transform into the authentic embodiment of the best version of myself.It should be noted that the audiobook is a great accompaniment to the book. Stephen Shedletzky is one of Simon's best instructors and passionately brings the text to life.

From the days of Socrates to the more modern Stephen R. Covey and Victor Frankl these timeless teachers have made it clear that we are all purpose driven. In an age of constant running and forces competing for our time, energy and attention, Find Your Why brings us back to a deeper sense of fire, passion and purpose upon which our lives ache to be built.The authors are remarkable in that they outline for us the process for discovering the "why" that already is present in each of us, but for most is waiting to be revealed and acted upon. If you want to create a positive impact on the world around you and more importantly live a life of deeper meaning and purpose, of contribution then Find Your Why will illuminate the path for you.Simon's great book Start With Why informs of the "Golden Circle" and its importance to organization's and individuals, Find Your Why by Simon Sinek, Peter Docker and David Meade is the practical, easily read and implemented process by which anyone can engage in the "discovery Why" process.Many great leadership and human effectiveness books lay out great theory and principles but few actually give you the operating manual to turn that theory into practice. Find Your Why does exactly that! This is a must read, and read again, and again for any executive or aspiring leader, teacher and trainer, consultant and anyone who is in the business of growing human capacity -- pretty much all of us!Find Your Why is easy to read, has a welcoming layout and design that almost makes it fun as you engage in the process of discovering your own Why or facilitating the discovery of someone else's Why. The audio book is excellent and narrated by Stephen Shedletzky one of the Start With Why Team's most experienced teachers!Join the movement, be inspired, inspire others and Find Your Why!!

I never would have guessed that "For individuals, our WHY is fully formed by our late teens." That tidbit, on P31 sent me down a path that I wasn't anticipating! Reading further, and looking ahead to the rest of the instructions on how to go about finding your WHY really opened my eyes to the fact that I'd been looking in all the wrong places! While I've been progressing through the book and following the instructions, I'm still in the early chapters. One thing is definitely clear, Find Your Why will get me there. I'm also hoping that it will address how to take that why and applying it to creating a (more) fulfilling lifepath as well as turning it into motivation for long term sustained "progress" or at least a clear direction to explore next in my life. Regardless, knowing my WHY will set me up for taking the next steps, wherever it leads me!
