That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of \n\u003ci\u003eTo Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others\u003c\/i\u003e). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home--is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does--and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation--autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 10\/19\/2009 pg. 46 (EAN 9781594488849, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 11\/15\/2009 pg. 73 (EAN 9781594488849, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 11\/01\/2009 (EAN 9781594488849, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eWilson Nonfiction Catalog\u003c\/span\u003e 04\/11\/2019 (EAN 9781594488849, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 04\/01\/2010 pg. 51 (EAN 9780143145080, Compact Disc)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pink, Daniel H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverhead Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2009-12-29\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Business \u0026amp; Economics \/ Motivational|Self-Help \/ Personal Growth \/ Success|Psychology \/ Industrial \u0026amp; Organizational Psychology|Business \u0026amp; Economics \/ Leadership|Business \u0026amp; Economics \/ Sales \u0026amp; Selling \/ Management\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSubjects:\u003c\/b\u003e Motivation (Psychology)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594488849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781594488849\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52425826009369,"sku":"SP-9781594488849","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/90b4e94a-b87c-4bd5-b845-40104fc21795.jpg?v=1784502240","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/drive-the-surprising-truth-about-what-motivates-us","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
