Histoire
Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

If you reward your children for doing their homework, they will usually respond by getting it done. But is this the most effective method of motivation? No, says psychologist Edward L.

The best way to motivate people - at school, at work, or at home - is to support their sense of autonomy.

Histoire
Game theory means rigorous strategic thinking. It’s the art of anticipating your opponent’s next moves, knowing full well that your rival is trying to do the same thing to you. Though parts of game theory involve simple common sense, much is counterintuitive, and it can only be mastered by developing a new way of seeing the world. Using a diverse array of rich case studies - from pop culture, TV, movies, sports, politics, and history - the authors show how nearly every business and personal interaction has a game-theory component to it.

The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.

Awareness awakens you to the truth that you possess everything you need right now to be happy and fulfilled. Happiness is your natural state. You don't need to do anything to acquire it; you only need to drop something. This audiobook shows you what that is. There is not a single person who ever gave time to being aware who’s quality of life didn't change. You see life differently because you are different. You respond to people and situations differently. You see things you have never seen before. Beautiful things. You're much more energetic, much more alive.

Our lives are driven by a fact most of us can't name and don't understand: whether we're an introvert or an extrovert. This defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose and whether we blush when we're embarrassed. At least a third of us are on the introverted side. Some of the world's most talented people are introverts. Without them, we wouldn't have the Apple computer, the theory of relativity and Van Gogh's sunflowers.

Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas (business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others) struggle to make their ideas "stick". In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds draw their power from the same six traits.

Description
“There are at least two kinds of games,” states James P. Carse as he begins this extraordinary book. “One could be called finite, the other infinite.”
Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life; they are played in order to be won, which is when they end. But infinite games are more mysterious. Their object is not winning but ensuring the continuation of play. The rules may change, the boundaries may change, even the participants may change - as long as the game is never allowed to come to an end.
What are infinite games? How do they affect the ways we play our finite games? What are we doing when we play - finitely or infinitely? And how can infinite games affect the ways in which we live our lives?
Carse explores these questions with stunning elegance, teasing out of his distinctions a universe of observation and insight, noting where and why and how we play, finitely and infinitely. He surveys our world - from the finite games of the playing field and playing board to the infinite games found in culture and religion - leaving all we think we know illuminated and transformed. Along the way, Carse finds new ways of understanding everything, from how an actress portrays a role to how we engage in sex, from the nature of evil to the nature of science. Finite games, he shows, may offer wealth and status, power and glory, but infinite games offer something far more subtle and far grander.
Carse has written a book rich in insight and aphorism. Already an international literary event, Finite and Infinite Games is certain to be argued about and celebrated for years to come. Listening to it is the first step in learning to play the infinite game.

Interesting, but not well explained
There are frustratingly few examples of the complex ideas the author is trying to communicate, which detracts from the listener's ability to comprehend. The book is rife with phrases like "the finite game is played within boundaries, while the infinite game plays with boundaries." After about 5 phrases in a row like this, you'd really like an example to fully illustrate what he means, which the author adamantly refuses to provide. It's a real shame because I thought the themes the author plays with really do explore some interesting ways of viewing the world and shaping one's view of the world.

maybe not what you think?
this was more of a philosophical treatise than anything else. I was hoping to glean some advice in regards to business and the idea of playing the infinite game vs finite game that is starting to be more common in business circles due to Simon Sinek and others. This is something completely different. this is like a modern day Nietzsche or other some such philosophical book. it perhaps will be viewed as important or timely and fall in line with a Proverbs type remembrqnce. or it might get lost in time. either way, unless you're prepped for his specific type of talk you won't pull much useful and applicable content, though you might find a point or two worth mulling over in your head.

great fundamental concept BUT
it's really hard to listen to the same exact concept be analogized at me in 30 different ways. No I haven't finished it, but seriously the concept of infinite games in the realm the free market is a great concept to communicate but it feels like alot of monotonous repetition of analogies to get you to truly understand what the author is communicating.
I GET IT thank you.
I hope the author is successful and finds more success through writing. no hard feelings. good kernels of knowledge but just alot of chaff to fill in the gaps in my grain of salt opinion.

Some brilliant nuggets. Sometimes quirky.
I had expected something a bit more mathematized and very nerdy-structured. This is philosophical, floating above the little stark technical forms I expected. The title itself was very evocative and the content takes off well from there. It is fun to scrutinize a thousand things I do every day for the features of one or both of these game types. I will never look the same way at goals, titles, all sorts of signposts in human affairs, or their absence. The infinite games idea is more diffuse and I'm still wrapping my head around that. The finite games idea is rich in examples. It bends the way I think and interpret (and strategize) in new ways.

Deep perspective of life!
The format of the book follows a narrative of rules, laws and observations. Surely an Interesting read as it views the world from a different perspective.
There are so many things we tend to do that are very short sighted or as the book says finite games. Switching up to the infinite game mindset, such as the ones played by ancient Egyptians created legacies that outlived the players. They definitely played an infinite game and death was only a part of it and not the end of it.
It touches upon society, relationships, religion, politics, war and even sexuality. With many examples to demonstrate finite/infinite games in those chapters.
Deep book and will definitely read it again. Probably after reading Simon Sinek simplified version.
Quotes I pondered:
“I must study politics and war, that my sons may study mathematics and philosophy…in order to give their children the right to study painting, poetry, music and architecture.”
~ John Q. Adams
A short excerpt on Explanations:
“Explanations succeed only by convincing resistant hearers of their error.
If you will not hear my explanations until you are suspicious of your own truths you will not accept my explanations until you are convinced of your error. Explanations is an antagonistic encounter that succeeds by defeating an opponent.
It posses the same dynamic of resentment found in other finite plays.
I will press my explanations on you because I need to show, that I do not live in the error that I think others think I do.
Whoever wins this struggle is privileged with the claim to true knowledge.
Knowledge has been arrived at, it is the outcome of this engagement.
Its winners have the uncontested power to make certain statements of fact.
They are to be listened to.
In those areas appropriate to the contests now concluded, winners possess a knowledge that can no longer be challenged.
Knowledge therefore is like property. It must be published, declared, or in some other ways so displayed, that others cannot but take account of it. It must stand in their way!
It must be emblematic, pointing backward at its possessors competitive skill, so close are knowledge and property, that they are often thought to be continuous. Those who are entitled to knowledge. Feel they should be granted property as well and those are entitled to property, believe a certain knowledge goes with it. Scholars demand higher salaries for their publishable successes, industrials sit on university boards.

A ridiculously hard and interesting book
I found this book really hard to listen to. Probably the first audio book, that i think is too hard to listen. As the author presents incredibly hard theoretical concepts in a rapid pace, it is hard to understand it all. Did a lot of relistening on the way, and finished intrigued. Will have to come back to it later and re-listen the whole thing. The overall concept intrigues me, but the complexity of the ideas makes it a really hard listen.

If Like listening to fragmented arguments
This book was challenging to get through. There is very limited narrative to highlight or show his reasoning. The author seemed to me to want to show both sides of an argument and was thereby arguing with himself repeatedly. I definitely learned from this book about the concept of infinite and finite games. I can definitely say it is not an easy book to read.
