Criticism edit
Where is the critical analysis of this goofball? Surely there exists some somewhere? He's wrong about everything, just like deepak chopra, a charlatan. His books rely on pseudoscience and now there's video of him smearing Gen Y, while erroneously calling them millenial, going through facebook, without proof to back up his claims. He talks like a creationist, except for business bad advice. Ace Frahm (talk) 04:27, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- If you can suggest some reliable sources I'd be happy to add notable criticism to the article.-- — Keithbob • Talk • 21:44, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Folks, there are many criticisms of this guy. If this guy is a top expert in leadership, why don't we have Nobel Prize for Astrology? Here are some links https://www.quora.com/Is-there-any-scientific-evidence-to-support-Simon-Sineks-theory-of-The-Golden-Circle https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenkrogue/2015/07/06/simon-sinek-says-start-with-why-but-sales-experts-disagree/#4097d9eb4b82 http://www.bizjournals.com/bizjournals/how-to/marketing/2012/11/sorry-simon-sinek-dont-start-with-why.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.63.106.226 (talk) 18:36, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
I have added a criticism section using some of those resources. Feel free to help sharpen it up or expand it. 2607:FEA8:620:4F2:A08D:F154:5485:9998 (talk) 19:07, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
Well, there's no criticism section today! DouglasHeld (talk) 05:13, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
I second the need for a critical section. And would like to point out that the language of the entry on Early Life and Education is misleading. It reads in a suggestive manner that could lead a reader to believe that Mr. Sinek has earned a law degree--which is not the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:F270:7860:7C07:1C47:1CFF:B0F (talk) 21:50, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. I've added a source and confirmed which degree he completed, and from where. Subvisser5 (talk) 17:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

The Optimism Company edit
Let's add a line about the Optimism Company, which Simon opened. It might read something like this: Simon Sinek founded The Optimism Company, which offers live online classes, on-demand courses, and experiences for companies and individuals.
Note: I'm an employee of Simon Sinek who hasn't done much on Wikipedia before but would like to add this information.
