Most of what we know about motivation is wrong.  In Daniel Pink’s Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, the bestselling author reveals how the carrot-and-stick approach of rewarding “good” behavior and punishing “bad” behavior is now the old-school notion of motivation and is no longer relevant in today’s world.  Once our basic hierarchy of needs is met, we’re actually more motivated by our desire for mastery, a sense of autonomy, and a driving purpose.  In Drive, you’ll learn how to realize and harness your innate drive to sharpen your habits and productivity.

The Adventures of Johnny Bunko

Everyone knows that timing is everything.  But we dont know much about timing itself.  Our lives are a never-ending stream of when decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person.  Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, its often assumed, is an art.  In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed.  How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married?
