Synopses

Decisive: How to Make Better Decisions

Chip and Dan Heath use psychological research to outline why poor decisions are common, including among experts. They describe how biases, wishful thinking and over-confidence can distort judgement.

The book also considers the dangers of limiting how a decision is framed and sets out four principles intended to reduce common errors and support better conclusions.

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Daniel H. Pink argues that many accepted views on motivating people at work, at school and at home are wrong. He links performance and satisfaction to the need to direct our own lives, learn, create and improve ourselves and the world.

Pink also discusses organisations adopting different approaches to motivation and highlights scientists and entrepreneurs contributing to these ideas.
