Drive : The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel h. Pink (2011)

Unfortunatly i recived the book the cover was torn, i really did not like that, it rewined the book look

More of a scientific matter having no literal value

Another Great book from Daniel Pink

Das Buch „Drive“ von Daniel H. Pink hat mir wertvolle Einblicke in die Psychologie der Motivation gegeben. Besonders das Konzept von „Purpose“ (Sinnhaftigkeit) und wie es in moderne Arbeitskulturen übersetzt wird, fand ich sehr spannend und praxisnah. Egal ob man Führungskraft, Sportler oder ambitionierte Privatperson ist – dieses Buch liefert relevantes Wissen, um eigene Motivation besser zu verstehen und bei anderen zu fördern. Das Modell der Motivation 3.0 ist essenziell, besonders wenn man mit der Generation Z arbeitet oder führt. Pink erklärt die Unterschiede zu traditionellen Motivationsmodellen verständlich und gibt konkrete Beispiele, wie man Purpose, Autonomie und Mastery im Alltag umsetzt. Ein inspirierendes Buch, das in keiner Bibliothek fehlen sollte – Pflichtlektüre für alle, die Menschen bewegen oder selbst mehr erreichen wollen.

Drive by Daniel H. Pink gave me a wonderful insight into how complex the brain is. There’s a different reaction for every stimulus and this book definitely proved that. Not only did it explain how humans can be motivated, but Daniel H Pink supported every idea of his with studies to prove what he had stated. We learn about the secrets to high performance as well as satisfaction in today’s world. His famous analogy of the carrot and stick approach makes it very easy for the reader to relate to exactly what the author is trying to say. Pink also explains the three elements of true motivation, being autonomy, mastery and purpose. Through the use of scientific research done on human motivation, Pink does a phenomenally good job at convincing the reader of his point of view that towards the end of the book seems extremely believable, especially after reading lengthy experiments and other studies done to justify every claim he makes. It also gives the reader a clear understanding of the difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. The first is when you use inner reward or happiness to do something, for instance you do something because it makes you happy. The latter means that you use external reward, for instance money to motivate yourself. This book is very mindboggling as it makes you forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate yourself and other people, be it at work, school or even at home! After reading the book, I feel like I know a lot more about human psychology than I did before reading the book, and in conclusion, it was a great book to read!

Me ha encantado, un muy buen análisis de los motivadores intrínsecos (autonomía, maestría y propósito) y una justa crítica a los motivadores extrínsecos (palos y zanahorias).

Testo ricco di informazioni supportate scientificamente ma molto agile e comprensibile senza formazione specifica
