Simon Sinek: The Infinite Game

Simon Sinek’s The Infinite Game explores the idea that many of life’s biggest arenas, business, politics, leadership, even personal development, are not competitions to be “won” but ongoing, evolving games with no fixed endpoint.

Across the book, he contrasts short‑term, numbers‑driven thinking with long‑term purpose, responsibility, and adaptability.

About

Are you a passionate reader? So am I!

Here at ‘Books I Like’, I dive into the fascinating worlds of management, social sciences, history, biographies, and travel essays. Basically, if it has pages and words, I’m in!

Every second Monday at 9 AM CET, I share my latest book reviews in English and French, offering insights and reflections on a wide range of topics. It’s like a book club, but without the awkward silences and questionable snack choices.

As Umberto Eco wisely said, ‘There are more books in the world than hours in which to read them.’ My reading list is always overflowing, but I’m always on the lookout for great recommendations to add to the pile.
