In this provocative and persuasive new book he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfactionat work at school and at homeis the deeply human need 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 doesand how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivationautonomy mastery and purposeand offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.
