That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink. The secret to performance and satisfaction--at work, at school, and at home--is the deeply human nee to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. 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 life. In 'Drive,' he examines the three elements of true motivation--autonomy, master, and purpose--and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action. Bursting with big ideas, 'Drive' is the rare book that will change how you think and transform how you live" (Book Jacket); CONTENTS ; Introduction: the puzzling puzzles of Harry Harlow and Edward Deci ; Pt. 1.
