📙 'Start With Why' by Simon Sinek
That's a classic line above - if you don't have that drummed into your head after reading and listening to this guy, I don't know what will!
The author is Mr Simon Sinek and today we discuss his popular business book Start With Why.
You may well be familiar with his TED Talk which is one of the most viewed of all time and the book delves much deeper…
Both are based around his Golden Circle concept, the central premise being: starting with a strong why, whether it be in business or in your personal life, then work on the how and what, rather than the other way round.
Have you read it, and what do you think? About the book, concept or Sinek himself?

📘 'The Chimp Paradox' by Steve Peters
So who is Steve Peters and what's all this chimp chit-chat?
Peters is a sports psychiatrist who has worked with the great snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan and British Cycling among others.
The book itself uses the analogy of a Chimp (there was a clue in the title) which is a different angle on this stuff. The author has simplified a complex topic and instead of using industry jargon, he's come up with some fun metaphors to make his points…
The Chimp in this context being you inner, emotional centre. It could also be called your lizard brain, or the amygdala to give it its scientific label. Your primal survival instincts. On top of that comes your Human, which would be your prefrontal cortex where you make rational decisions.
It's the coming together of these 2 main players and some other peripheral characters that make up this book!

📕 'Elon Musk' by Ashlee Vance
A topical character these days, and this was a biography written a few years back on the X-man.
I'm sure he doesn't need an introduction, but anyone who is a fan (and many who aren't) may find this book interesting…
It talks a lot about Musk of course, and goes into many of his exploits with rocket launches and whatnot. Quite heavy going on the technical aspects which wasn't so much to my taste but could work well for others.
Not an easy read I seem to recall, although it does delve deep into his activities and different stages and aspects of his life.
Well worth checking out if you're into the chap and his antics. I'll leave you with a quote from the man himself:
Ok, thanks Elon! 😉
