Author: Daniel H. Pink
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101524383
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is 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 does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and 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.

Book Description
How to be like Jesus even when we disagree In what may be his most important book yet, Jim Hohnberger attempts to reconcile the faith we preach with the gospel we live -- when we disagree. With honesty and sincerity born out of his own sometimes painful experience, Jim shows how Jesus' attitude and approach towards those who didn't receive Him, was just as important as the truth He taught. If you have ever felt the heartache of rejection because you saw things from a different perspective; if you have ever been the one to wound someone else in your zeal to uphold truth; if you value people above policy or politics, this book is for you.
