Just motivate me! Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink (2009).

Just Motivate Me! Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us is an exploration of the science behind motivation and the lack of effectiveness of traditional rewards.

Pink argues that the traditional carrot-and-stick approach of rewards and punishments is not the most effective way to motivate people.

He proposes that the three elements of true motivation are autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

Autonomy is the ability of an individual to direct their own life and make their own decisions.

Mastery is the ability to get better at something and to achieve a level of excellence.

Purpose is the sense of meaning and satisfaction that comes from contributing to something bigger than oneself.

Pink offers practical advice on how to put these elements into practice in the workplace and beyond.
