About this ebook
The common belief that most people have is that the best motivation for anyone is the carrot-and-stick approach of offering rewards like money. The bestselling author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others Daniel H. Pink says that this is a big mistake. In his bestselling book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, he persuasively asserts that the real secret to high satisfaction and high performance at home, at work, and at school is the deep innate need of humans to direct their own lives, to create and learn new things, and finally to do better for the world and for themselves.
With over four decades worth of scientific research, author Daniel H. Pink exposes the mismatch between science and business. He reveals how motivation affects all aspects of life by examining the three elements of motivation and offering authentic techniques to put all theories into action. The book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us became a #1 New York Times bestselling book. It is one of Daniel Pink’s four bestselling books that have been translated into 33 languages.
