Summary of Derek Thompson's Hit Makers


Book Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Japanese Footbridge by Claude Monet is a famous painting, but Gustave Caillebotte’s paintings are exquisite and less known. The reason Caillebotte is less known is because he is in the impressionist exhibit with Monet, who is more famous. #2 Gustave Caillebotte was a French painter who was born into a wealthy family. He was friends with many of the most controversial young artists of his time, including Monet and Degas. He died at the age of 45 in 1894. His will stipulated that all paintings hang at the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. #3 The artworks were finally hung in 1897, at a new wing in the Musée du Luxembourg. The public flooded the museum to see art they’d previously savaged or simply ignored. The seven core impressionist painters were the only ones who shared this characteristic. #4 The fact that Caillebotte’s bequest shaped the impressionist canon spoke to something deep and universal about media, entertainment, and popularity. People prefer paintings that they’ve seen before.

Start with Why


Book Description

The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.
