About the Original Book:

As far as motivation goes, Pink writes in this New York Times bestseller, rewards and punishments are relics of the 20th century. If businesses, governments, and schools are to motivate people, they have to find a way to meet their deepest psychological needs, namely autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

Drive is a candid and timely reminder that external rewards only motivate people to get more rewards, not to do the work for which they are being rewarded.

Executives, general employees, teachers, and parents looking for ways to improve their organizations or increase the motivation of the people they are in charge of will find this book very insightful.
