Simon Sinek is an optimist, and believes in a bright future and our ability to build it together.  That is the simple theme behind his upcoming book, Together is Better. 
 
Grammy Nominated singer/songwriter Aloe Blacc  performs the song “Together is Better Than One” at the close of this event as well as a few more of his hits.
 
Together is Better is a celebration of that simple, human idea that we are better when we help each other than we are when we work alone.  Too often, we avoid asking for help when we need it or refuse to accept it when it’s offered for fear that it will make us look weak or put us or our job at risk.  Too often, we keep self-doubt to ourselves instead of turning to someone we trust for inspiration.   
The journey to finding the life you love is never quick or easy. Still, more and more of us are setting off in search of a better way. While each of us is living a different story, many of the challenges and victories along the way are the same. 
 
In Together is Better, Sinek has combined some of his favorite quotes, amazing illustrations, storytelling, and commentary in this delightful tale of three kids who go on an adventure to find a better place for everyone.  
 
In the simplest way possible, this book reminds us all what it means to be a leader, the courage it takes to ask for help, and the value of working together.  It is a book that illustrates the need for leaders to foster environments in which trust and cooperation can thrive.
