Drive The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink challenges common assumptions about what motivates people. It is presented as a book about motivation and performance in today’s world.

Synopsis

The description argues that many familiar ideas about motivating people at work, at school and at home are mistaken. Daniel H. Pink sets out an alternative view of what underpins high performance and satisfaction, focusing on the human desire to direct our own lives, to learn and create, and to improve ourselves and the world.

It also describes a journey through organisations adopting new approaches to motivation, alongside introductions to scientists and entrepreneurs who are presented as shaping a new direction.
