Start with why

A strong DNF, I would be kind and give it two stars since the idea of having an intrinsic motivation is a nice idea, but the examples he gives are so wildly selective and innaccurate I can't forgive it.

He also includes a concept that was so dumb it might have melted my brain. He claims people in the past believed the world was flat so they didn't explore because they were scared of falling off the edge.

That's why they didn't explore.

Not because of a lack of sufficient naval technology. Not because of societies needing to reach a certain size to have the ability to fund and man risky exploratory missions. No.

The reason sailors didn't explore was because they were scared of falling off the edge of the map.

I can't.

It was a moderately inspiring book that had some really good parts about how remembering why you're doing a thing will come through to others in your life. Really focuses on entrepreneurs, but I think it'll help me focus at work too. Why am I here? Too help make the lives of the people around me better in some small way.

Starting with why is a hugely important ethic that too few people do today. Simon's book has inspired me to start every day considering WHY, HOW, and WHAT I am destined to do with my time remaining. Excellent book, poignant case studies, and great narration of these concepts!

Having read a summary of this book, it sounds that the book is a lot like the presentations that Simon gave on the same topic.
The base concept is great nonetheless
