This book is a hands-on, step-by-step guide that builds on the concepts introduced in Simon Sinek's 'Start With Why'. It provides detailed exercises, illustrations, and action steps to help readers find their 'WHY', which is the core reason behind their actions and decisions. The book aims to inspire readers to wake up with purpose, feel safe at work, and return home fulfilled. It addresses various concerns such as how to apply the 'WHY' concept to careers, teams, companies, or nonprofits, and offers strategies for individuals and teams to discover their most powerful reasons for getting up in the morning and starting the workday.

This book, first published in 1989, outlines seven habits that are designed to help individuals become more effective in their personal and professional lives. The habits are grouped into three categories: Private Victory (habits 1-3), Public Victory (habits 4-6), and Renewal (habit 7). The habits include being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, putting first things first, thinking win-win, seeking first to understand and then to be understood, synergizing, and sharpening the saw. Covey emphasizes the importance of personal integrity, effective time management, empathetic communication, and continuous self-improvement.

In 'Start with Why', Simon Sinek introduces the concept of 'The Golden Circle', which consists of 'Why', 'How', and 'What'. He argues that successful leaders and organizations start with their purpose or 'Why', which inspires loyalty and trust. Sinek uses examples such as Apple, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Wright Brothers to illustrate how this approach can lead to significant influence and success. The book emphasizes the importance of leadership and purpose in inspiring others and achieving long-term success.
