Welcome to Litsy!

So many questions but let‘s start with WHY is there a large Muppet in this storefront?
#audiowalk #audiobook

Repetitive.

Captivating! I want to look up Sinek‘s other works now. This concept is so seemingly simple, but without the why, most efforts will prove unsustainable. Sinek offers so many examples and journeys where companies got this right and wrong. It‘s very thought provoking! It‘s also applicable to our individual and personal lives.

Haven't been reading lately, but my latest B&N haul!

These are the books I have recommended the most.
1) Daughter of Smoke & Bone - Laini Taylor
2) Stiff - Mary Roach
3) Start with the Why - Simon Sinek
4) Terra Nullius - Claire Coleman
5) How to be be an Antiracist - Ibram X Kendi
6) Bitten - Kelley Armstrong
7) Braiding Sweetgrass - Robin Wall Kilmer
8) Ice Planet Barbarian - Ruby Dixon

Thanks for the tag @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
@ShelleyBooksie I know you have lots of one you recommend!

I found the constant capitalisation of WHY, HOW and WHAT to be incredibly distracting. But that may have been a good thing because this felt quite repetitive, even given its short length.

Book 2/24 for #ReadingRandomizer

On June 20th, I launched a Burnout Recovery Coaching program, geared specifically towards folx who work in political spaces. I started reading this book the day I launched and I‘m now really looking forward to doing an Instagram story tomorrow about my own why — about how helping political people stay happy and centered is my way of contributing to ALL the political causes that I feel strongly about…I want to help the people who help people. ✌🏻

One of my recommended books if you want learn how to have deeper meaning of what's your purpose in life.

Good, some great business nuggets in here though a bit dated in some areas. Had been on my #TBR forever and was a good listen while housecleaning and wrapping presents.

#currentlisten while running errands.

🎧 Not bad but wasn‘t what I was looking for. More for someone thinking about starting a business or a business trying to get its groove back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highly recommend. This is a must read for anyone looking for clarity in their life. Sinek nails the issues that lead to so many failures in all aspects of life. This book helped broaden my perspective and narrow my focus.

Never stop talking about what you believe and how you're going to change the world so you can start talking about what you do.
People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it!

If people don't have a positive visceral reaction to your company branding then it's time to reevaluate your why and how you're communicating it to your customers.

Are you trying to run a company or lead a movement? Don't just motive but inspire those around you to maintain the power of your vision.
Never forget the power of additional perspectives and that every movement is personal and inherintantly involves emotion.

CEOs need to be strong Why types who have vision and is willing to publically preach it.
CFOs or COOs need to be strong How people who know they're not visionaries but are really good at sharing the CEOs inspiration in tangible ways.

Vision Statement: the public statement of the founder's intent, why the company exists. It's literally the vision of a future that does not yet exist.
Mission Statement: description of the root guiding principles. How the company intends to create that future.

I read this for a non-profit board that I‘m on. A great read for any business owner or organization leader. Sinek‘s TED talk was great, too.

As I always loved to know more about Apple.Inc and it talks much more times about it. The knowledge it has is worth to thousands and the story of runner was the moment I got goosebumps with that thought there and this made me so much energetic and influenced......😊 #startwithwhy #quotes

I finally finished this one. It's really inspiring. I really like this author. I'll have to check out his other books. 💖📚

A book that uses Dr. Seuss to prove a point? Yes! 👍🌟

Great insight theory on what should be the right approach to your goals and dreams. Would recommend it for literally everybody🙌🏽

There were some nifty nuggets. A fair amount of repetition marred my overall experience; but it definitely gave me some food for thought. I didn‘t care for the author as narrator: he pronounces some words so oddly that it was like nails on a chalkboard.

If you are feeling like your are not living your life to its fullest potential, do not feel happy with what you do, or have trouble finding what is your purpose in life then this book is more than perfect for you. In this book Sinek teaches you what a purpose is and how to find yours to (100% guaranteed) succeed in life with his strategies. You‘ll definetly feel more motivated and your life will change❤️

A little reading for personal growth and development

I...I don't even know where to start with this. What do I need to caution about to that particular segment of the child population? 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It‘s Spring Book Club time at the Firm. This selection from the leadership team really gets to the core of doing business. And specifically served to remind me (amid all of the goings on) WHY I get out of the bed every morning. Must read for leaders—informal ones, too! There‘s a 15 minutes TED talk from Simon that is a great introduction to this book. #bookclub #leadership

First encounter with this writer. I was unsure what I was going to get with this (if it was about working or time management), but honestly it was a book that really helps you to speak to why you do everything. I mean it can help you understand the motivations behind your work or help you focus on why you do things in your work life or in your own business. A really deeper through provoking book than I was expecting.

My husband (and business partner) and I listened to this on our way to a conference, and this book gave us more ideas, more productive conversations, and more actionable advice than the conference did.

Why

Last May, I participated in an intensive 4 week program led by Seth Godin called altMBA. It was an amazing learning experience. Today I received a box of these books from Seth and Penguin/Random House. So much goodness here! Can‘t wait to dive in!

Communicate clearly and you shall be understood.

One of the best books I've read all year. People don't care what you're selling. It's why you're selling it.

When we get caught up with the how and what, it's easy to forget WHY we do it. #simonsinek #startwithwhy #tedtalk #nonfiction #businessbook #why

Just went to an amazing Youth Services leadership conference and now I'm continuing the learning at home with some recommended books! #PowerUp17 #librarylife
