The Infinite Game | Simon Sinek
Simon Sinek’s The Infinite Game borrows its base theory from James P. Carse’s book Finite and Infinite Games, which argues that finite games like sport or war exist to win, while an infinite game cannot be won because it has no definite endpoint. The Infinite Game adapts this theory for business, arguing that even if you can’t win business, it’s still possible to succeed by adopting what Sinek calls an “infinite mindset.”
