I am a huge Simon Sinek fan and this book did not disappoint. Through his work, I continually learn how to be a better career development professional, leader, and human being. His passion for and commitment to his work is infectious.
Thank you for another book to help me grow help myself and others better.

You can't win in life. It's best to live our lives with an infinite mindset where we focus on the journey instead of the end goal. This book was alright. I'm a big fan of Sinek's work, but I believe Start with Why/Find Your Why, and Leaders Eat Last are better. I would have liked it if he hadn't focused on the business side as much and had focused on our personal journey. Overall, it's not bad.

This was a book that took me a while to come back to, but I’m so glad that I did. I think the book itself could have been leaner and packed more of a punch, but overall it was inspiring and galvanizing. The concept of playing to win vs playing to keep playing has stuck with me since I started reading this book 2 years ago. At the end of the day no one is declared “the winner of life”. So why do we keep acting like that’s what happens???
I felt so much relief in Sinek giving us permission to not play to win. Instead I’d much rather follow his advice by finding a just cause and worthy rivals in order to contribute to something bigger than myself. There’s books I would recommend before this one when it comes to burnout and disillusionment surrounding work. But I think these concepts could serve as protective factors, preventing burnout down the road. Overall, I love these types of books and I will definitely be re-reading in the future once I join the workforce.
