I’m excited to let you know that December 29 marks the release of Pink’s latest book, DRIVE.<br /><br />Bursting with big ideas, DRIVE is the rare book that will change how you think and transform how you live.<br /><br />Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people--at work, at school, at home. It's wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his new and paradigm-shattering book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world 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. <br /><br />Drawing 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 our lives. He demonstrates that while the old-fashioned carrot-and-stick approach worked successfully in the 20th century, it's precisely the wrong way to motivate people for today's challenges. In Drive, he reveals the three elements of true motivation: <br /><br />*Autonomy- the desire to direct our own lives <br />*Mastery- the urge to get better and better at something that matters <br />*Purpose- the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves <br /><br />We hope Daniel Pink’s DRIVE will open your eyes and change the way you think in 2010!<br /><br />Please visit www.danpink.com and www.riverheadbooks.com for additional details.Lydia Hirthttp://www.riverheadbooks.comnoreply@blogger.com
