Story
Too many workplaces are driven by cynicism, paranoia, and self-interest. But the best ones foster trust and cooperation because their leaders build what Sinek calls a "Circle of Safety" that separates the security inside the team from the challenges outside. Sinek illustrates his ideas with fascinating true stories that range from the military to big business, from government to investment banking.

Listened to this after it being recommended in “Greenlights” by Matthew McConaughey and absolutely loved it.

Story
Zero day: a software bug that allows a hacker to break into your devices and move around undetected. One of the most coveted tools in a spy's arsenal, a zero day has the power to silently spy on your iPhone, dismantle the safety controls at a chemical plant, alter an election and shut down the electric grid (just ask Ukraine). For decades, under cover of classification levels and non-disclosure agreements, the United States government became the world’s dominant hoarder of zero days.

The definitive history of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Pentagon agency that has quietly shaped war and technology for nearly 60 years. Founded in 1958 in response to the launch of Sputnik, the agency's original mission was to create "the unimagined weapons of the future".

Good book, really hard listen
Reviewed: 06-02-24
The performance made this book really hard to get through. You may as well read the book because the robotic delivery in this audiobook forces you to have to sit and focus on just this. Otherwise, you'll find yourself having to keep rewinding because you haven't been paying attention for the last 3 minutes.
The book itself is a few really interesting stories about some of the politics and ventures of (D)ARPA and its origins. There's always deeper investigations that could have happened but you also can't always get very far when it comes to the government. I'd recommend the book but not the audiobook.

Buy the hard copy of the book
Reviewed: 07-19-16
Great audio book, it's really not much longer than an episode of his podcasts which makes it easy to binge. However there's a lot of material that is left out.
I found myself having to rush to take notes and constantly rewind to jot down foods, nutrients, etc and having a hard copy would have made it much easier. For a book that's designed to help the audience make a change in thief life, audio book is not convenient nor practical for reference.
Overall, it was amusing but the money would have been better spent on the hard copy.
