Start with WHY
This book is about how articulating your purpose can inspire you and those around you. Organizations and leaders that start with their purpose, or “why,” are more successful and have a greater impact than those that don’t.
Leaders Eat Last
Leaders and organizations who prioritize the well-being of their employees are more successful. Explore the science behind why some teams come together while others fall apart, and how leaders can create a culture of trust, cooperation, and collaboration.
The Infinite Game
Leaders who embrace an infinite mindset build stronger, more innovative, more inspiring organizations. Learn how to lead with confidence and thrive in an ever-changing world.
Find Your WHY
Simon started a movement to inspire people to do the things that inspire them. Co-written along with David Mead and Peter Docker, this book is a practical guide to help readers discover their WHY and bring it to life.
Together is Better
This book was designed to be given as a gift to someone you want to inspire, or to say thank you to someone who inspires you. This story will remind you to ask for help, and help others discover their own courage through a charming fable about change.
Pretty great actually—thanks so much for asking! We hope you're having a great day as well.
Simon writes to share ideas that help people and organizations thrive. Each book explores a different facet of leadership, purpose, and building environments where people feel safe and inspired to do their best work.
There's no required reading order. Each book stands on its own. That said, many readers start with Start with Why to understand the foundational concept, then explore the others based on their interests.
All of Simon's books touch on leadership in some way. Leaders Eat Last focuses most directly on what it means to be a great leader. The Infinite Game explores the mindset leaders need to build organizations that last.
Start with Why introduces the concept of the Golden Circle and why purpose matters. Find Your Why is the practical companion that helps you discover your own WHY. We recommend reading Start with Why first for context, then using Find Your Why as your hands-on guide.
