The Infinite Game

If you are a Simon Sinek fan this is a must read. I loved it. Changes perspective on what is driving you to be successful and create legacy.

Simon has written yet another thought provoking, book that challenges our values and way we view our PURPOSE in life.1) Our life is finite (because we will all eventually die one day) however LIFE is infinite until we blow up this planet- Until we consider ourselves as stewards of this planet, we will live with a finite mindset to consume as much, use as much, and have little to no desire to leave the world a little better than after we die.2) A finite (scarcity) mindset is all about ME. How much will I gain, benefit, or profit from my efforts with little or less regard on any negative impact our actions may leave behind.3) An Infinite (Abundant) mindset is more about creating, adding or sharing value. Its more about how can I perform a better service with my talents, sweat, and connections to "make this a better place for you and me." Because "We are the World."This is MUST READ BOOK, before we blow ourselves up off this planet.William TehInvestor | Author | EntrepreneurTTTrends Investments

Another fantastic piece of work by Simon! This book provides so many great insights to the workings of companies and how we can approach many aspects of life with an infinite mindset. Read it, Just Cause!

No matter if you are an employer or an employee you must read this book. This book should be a mindset reset for high-performance-low trust employees. If a company wants to flourish and grow in this competitive world, all leaders should adopt the infinite game mindset. While I was reading, I examined my working journey, and I witnessed firsthand the struggle for a new and fresh management to express and share their vision, when they inherited an old fashion management team. I think the most important thing Simon explains is the value of building trusting teams. This will be the foundation for the sustainability and success of any team. This is a book that as a leader you must revisit from time to time to maintain your focus and vision. However, I feel the mindset applies mostly to individuals as leaders. It would be fascinating if he could expand the concept to the company in general. Maybe if the company, when they promote an employee to a leadership role, gave a seminar or shared this book with them, this will help to enforce this vision through all the company. Although a single individual could not change the mindset of a whole company, having that mindset as an individual will leave a very good impression and will be like taking the high road to any uncomfortable situation. One of the benefits of an infinite mindset.

This will be one of those books that I read and then let it go to work in challenging my current views of life. It started off easy, then as some of my own finite thinking became apparent it got uncomfortable. At some point I was toying with the idea of putting it down.Now that I've read it cover-to-cover I can look back at my own journey through the book and I realized that the book is just a primer for the lifelong journey. A just cause for me is to try to leave everyone and everything I touch in a better position. To live with purpose from passion and make a difference every day.If you are willing to examine your own life and step back to see the big picture then this book is for you.Thank you to the courageous leaders who stood up and stood out and continue to do so for so long as they are in the game. As you so rightly said Simon: this book is the result of the a bunch of people who had the courage to live out experimentally what they knew in their gut to be a better way.Ps. Theodore may just have been right about The man in the arena....

Very insigthfull and motivating. As good as all Simon books

A must read for all business professionals. Simon clearly explains 2 ways of thought: finite and infinite. When we have a finite mindset we are thinking short term with an eye on how we gain personally and are focused on the metrics. An infinite mindset is concerned with the long term with an eye on having a positive impact on others and are focused on learning and being better so what we are building outlasts us. Simon makes his case by presenting multiple cases of businesses with a finite mindset having a short life span while those with an infinite mindset outlast their makers. He further explores 5 key elements to the infinite mindset. And let me tell you, this book will change the way you think, especially about business. But it has a broader application in our everyday lives as well. The author helps us to see how trust and cooperation are the keys. Personally my favorite 2 chapters were ethical fading, trusting teams and worthy rivals. By the way, this makes a great book club book especially for business

Wow, this book really impacted me. It helped crystalize a lot of thoughts bouncing around my head for years. It is helping create my new purpose as I transition to my new role in my company.I will add it to the list of "must read" books to the entrepreneurs I mentor.For me, this book is up there with Viktor Frankle's "Man's Search for Meaning"Let's all be brave enough to live with an INFINITE mindset.
