The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
Daniel H Pink New Paperback
Postscript summary
Drawing on decades of scientific research into human motivation, Daniel Pink explores the mismatch between what science knows and what business does – and how that affects every aspect of our school, work, and home lives. Dismissing the notion of the carrot-and-stick approach, he identifies the three elements of true motivation – autonomy, mastery and purpose – and offers proven techniques for actioning them.
Product information
Full publisher description
A book that will change how you think and transform how you live
Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people - at work, at school, at home. It is wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his paradigm-shattering book Drive, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and the world.
Along the way, he takes us to companies that are enlisting new approaches to motivation, and introduces us to the scientists and entrepreneurs who are pointing a bold way forward.
