Synopsis

Simon Sinek's recent video on 'The Millennial Question' went viral with over 150 million views and his TED Talk on the global bestseller Start with Why is the third most watched of all time.

Sinek's latest work, Together is Better, is a little book of inspiration for the modern world.

Most of us live our lives by accident - we live as it happens. Fulfilment comes when we live our lives on purpose.

'What are you going to do with your life? What are you doing with your life now?'

'Do you have goals? A vision? A clear sense of why you do what you do?'

Almost everyone knows someone who has grappled with at least one of these questions. The answers can often seem elusive or uncertain.

Though there are many paths to follow into the unknown future, there is one way that dramatically increases the chances we will enjoy the journey. To travel with someone we trust.

We can try to build a successful career or a happy life alone, but why would we?

Together is better.

This unique and delightful little book makes the point that together is better in a quite unexpected way. Simon Sinek, bestselling author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last, blends the wisdom he has gathered from around the world with a heartwarming, richly illustrated original fable.

Working hard for something we don't care about is called stress. Working hard for something we love is called passion.

From the Back Cover

"New York Times" bestselling author Simon Sinek is an unshakable optimist and he wants to share that optimism. With this beautifully illustrated book of axioms he inspires readers to seek out a brighter future - and build it together.
Simon Sinek has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers with his two classic bestsellers, "Start With Why" and" Leaders Eat Last." The mission of all his work, from the biggest speech to the simplest tweet, is to build a world in which people wake up every day inspired to go to work, feel safe while there, then return home feeling fulfilled at the end of the day.
Now, in this delightfully illustrated book of axioms and anecdotes, Sinek amplifies that vision with new ideas that will inspire readers to overcome obstacles and become the leaders they wish they had.
The book is organized around the challenges we all face in the modern world of work, whether we're just out of college or trying to lead a giant company. From confronting doubts, to building a team, to recovering from failure, Sinek helps us see things in a fresh and inspiring way. Consider just a few of his insights....
"A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other."
"Fight against something and we focus on the thing we hate. Fight for something and we focus on the thing we love."
"We'd achieve more if we chased the dream instead of the competition."
