Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

Re:Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us by jonpaul on Tuesday May 18, 2010 @10:48AM (#1357609)

This is one of the best books I've read. As an entrepreneur, it will get you to think differently on how you motivate people. Before, I use to think that if I pay a person to do a task that should be sufficient. Now, I encourage purpose and deliver a vision. You would be amazed at how easy it is to 'rally the troops' by doing this.

Read this book now.

Strongly agree. The book is a quick read and has broad implications. I worked with the author (Daniel Pink) to create a mobile app based on the book. Daniel is a great guy who lives what he writes.

Plug: the app is free and called "Dan the Motivation Roo" currently on Android only

I have had this book on my shelf for a few months now, yet I had never read it, nor really planned on it.

That's different now, I will try to start tonight.

I apologize for sounding ignorant, but what is the book?

Edit: Got it. Thanks.
