    Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek

    9th March 2018
    Cover of Leaders Eat Last (Simon Sinek)

    Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek

    • Publisher: Portfolio, 2014
    • Genre: Business, Psychology
    • Format: Hardcover
    • Page Count: 368 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐ (2/5)

    The reason that I borrowed this book from my local library to read was because of Sinek’s ‘Millennials in the Workspace’ interview. As a millennial myself, even though I may not agree with him, I still consider him an interesting person who was brave enough to point out some of the problems and organise them into the short speech that subsequently went viral over the Internet. Naturally, I decided to read his book for more understanding of Sinek.

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
