Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Author: Daniel H. Pink

In “Drive,” Daniel Pink challenges conventional wisdom about motivation, revealing that the carrot-and-stick approach often falls short. Drawing on decades of research, he explores the power of intrinsic motivation—our innate desire to learn, create, and improve. Pink’s engaging prose weaves together scientific studies, real-world examples, and personal anecdotes, making complex ideas accessible. As someone who’s always been fascinated by human behavior, I found his insights on autonomy, mastery, and purpose particularly enlightening. This book isn’t just theory; it offers practical strategies for harnessing our inner drive, both at work and in life.

Control leads to compliance; autonomy leads to engagement.
