Summary
A book that will change how you think and transform how you live.
Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people – at work, at school, at home. It is wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his paradigm-shattering book Drive, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today’s world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and the world. Along the way, he takes us to companies that are enlisting new approaches to motivation, and introduces us to the scientists and entrepreneurs who are pointing a bold way forward.

Eye opening
Loved it, so eye opening for oneself and for managing a team. Great examples of how and whey we're motivated to do what we do, and explained in very easy to follow manner. Highly recommended

a good insight
It gets a bit overbearing at the end with a massive reading list. The insight into how people are motivated is great and there's some great ideas on how to push yourself to get more. I'd listen again.

useful knowledge
some really thought provoking information that can be compared with your current work place for a better understanding of why it doesn't always go so well.

Interesting insights but could be shorter
Interesting insights but could be shorter and more direct. Watching his presentations/talks on YouTube are enough.

Fantastic Listen!
I heard about Dan Pink at work via a Ted Talk on Youtube. That talk appears to be a summation of his book. His theories on motivation are explained in very easy to understand terms, using very well described examples and studies. It's a great tale of what can and does motivate us and why we're driven (or not) to do achieve or act. He consistently pushes home reasons why the carrot and stick approach only works for so long and why it works for some people and not others. He cites examples of how organisations benefit from making use of this understanding, often inherently, with how they treat their staff. Autonomy and mastery or two areas he keeps highlighting as the new way to generate motivation within companies, groups and organisations. An excellent listen.
