Start With Why. This book is immensely amazing and the last chapter of this book is really a cherry on the top. There couldn't have been any better ending for such a amazing book.
This book tells you about how things becomes when you start with why. How people do things when they have a sense of purpose before starting anything. Your purpose should be the core of things you do. And you should be finding people who are having their purpose same as you and then with them you can achieve your purpose more easily and effectively.
This book is not only about people with a sense of purpose but also for people who know how to do things for achieving the purpose. And how they are equally important in the entire process.
I got some glimpses from this amazing book for you. So do read this book and keep following this blog for more insights / glimpse about books.
