Description
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.

This book has been sitting on my ebook shelf for quite a while and I heard so many good things about this book, so I was really excited to finally reading it. I have some mixed feelings about this book. I had me entertained and I was also caught up in the relationship of Rylee and Colton. The side story with the kids Rylee is caring for really got me and added another emotional point to the story. But I also had some difficulties with this book and that were the characters, esecially Colton. I hated his arrogant and trashy behaviour towards Rylee and his bossy and controlling side was even worse. I really don't like when men are bossing around and behave like a total jerk. Rylee was an ok character but I really didn't understand her insecurities towards herself, maybe there is some more into her story. The story was interesting enough to make me want to continue the series. I also enjoyed the light writing style of the author.
