Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, is a book by Simon Sinek[1] that appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list.[2]

Overview

The book starts with a comparison of the two main ways to influence human behaviour: manipulation and inspiration. Sinek argues that inspiration is the more powerful and sustainable of the two.

He says that people are inspired by a sense of purpose (or "Why"), and that this should come first, before How and What - Sinek calls this the Golden Circle. He goes on to detail the biological factors behind this, such as the limbic system.
