“It is wonderful to have a successful professional freely share information to help others grow—for their sakes to be a better leader. Not primarily to make a buck. Making a difference in someone’s life requires sacrifice and connection—and Simon, the subscription does just that. We are all human and desire for someone to care enough to share nuggets of wisdom—because they care. I once saw a small picture that said, ‘to teach is to touch a life forever.’ I believe it is true. All the best.”

“I’ve gone through several courses over the past two weeks and I already am seeing a difference within our team! I’ve loved how my outlook has shifted and I’ve really been able to step into my role as a leader! Thank you so much!”

“So far, I am very amazed by the content of the library. As I am working in the field of HR for 25 years, I am trying to figure out how applicable the content is and I have just started to get into it in detail.
I have been following Simon for a while and have to say that these concepts is what the world out there needs. A leader is having the biggest impact on the working environment in so many aspects, from hiring the right people to coach them to grow, bringing across the values and culture and building trust by example.
I really love the inspirational newsletters as well as the daily quotes and I feel priviledged to be part of this community.
Thank you for your inspiration!”

Love the content. Although I expected to see Simon on a few more of the videos 🙏…
Some are like webinars and could be arranged better. Remove non-essential info and questions from attendee
Verified Buyer
I do love it, but wish Simon presented some of them
Verified Buyer
I like the video content in the optimism library but it would be incredibly helpful to be able to also access the slide deck and handouts mentioned in each recorded webinar. The downloadable discussion guides are okay but not the same items mentioned by presenters during the webinars.
Pretty great actually—thanks so much for asking! We hope you’re having a great day as well.

No. They were live at one point, but when you watch classes through our subscription service, you are watching the recordings of previous live online classes.
If you are interested in live online classes where you can interact with your instructors and classmates, visit simonsinek.com/classes.
Recordings can be viewed at any time day or night, and you can pause and rewatch whenever you like. Our live online classes generally only happen once per month. The subscription service also provides exclusive classes that you can’t find live.
If you learn better by being an active participant, we recommend our live online classes at simonsinek.com/classes.
Right now we have over 45 classes, but we’re continually adding new ones.
The Optimism Library does NOT include our online courses, such as The Art of Presenting and Find Your WHY. It also does not include Start with WHY or Refine Your WHY—we’ve found those two classes require the interactivity that can only be offered in a live experience. These classes are available at simonsinek.com/classes .
You can pause or cancel at any time in the Subscriptions tab on the left menu of your account.
The Optimism Library is designed to help you grow. If you watch a class or two and realize it’s not the right fit, no worries! We will provide you with a full refund within the first 48 hours after subscribing. Just contact us here!
While we wish we could clone Simon, science just isn’t quite there yet. He’s trained our Master Trainers himself to teach the majority of our classes. However, our online courses, Find Your WHY and The Art of Presenting, are taught by Simon!
Yes! We recommend only doing so over Wi-Fi, unless you have an unlimited data plan.
You can buy up to 50 subscriptions through our website, or you can request a bulk order.
You can use the Optimism Library Contact Form and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

A spark is something quite small and, by itself, not very powerful. But a spark has the ability to ignite. An idea is like a spark; alone it is just a set of words, but it too can ignite. A great idea can inspire others to dream bigger. Let us all work together to ignite something greater than ourselves.
Let us all be a Spark of Optimism.
