Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money?the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). 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.
