Drive by Daniel Pink | Key Takeaways, Analysis & Review

Preview:

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us (2011) is a book about human motivations. Many of the prevailing ideas about why humans make decisions and operate the way they do aren't true or, at least, they are incomplete. Businesses, schools, and organizations are stuck in outdated, unexamined beliefs about human motivation. These beliefs are rooted in the idea of extrinsic motivation - that people make decisions based on external rewards and punishments. But research in psychology shows that there is a significant discrepancy between what behavioral scientists know and what businesses do. Extrinsic motivation is not only ineffective, but in many situations it can actually be counterproductive and harmful....

Motivating the modern workforce

This is a fairly comprehensive digest of the original work, Drive by Daniel Pink. It talks about how we move from extrinsic motivation, in the pre-industrial world through pure industrialism, on to more intrinsic, internal motivate in the new information age. As we function less and less as cogs and more and more through creativity and insight, we are motivated more by the drive to be more creative, more independent, to leave more of a mark, than we are by mere extrinsic motivations, though those will always remain in play.

This book analysis types of motivation. There are biological motivations (hunger, thirst), extrinsic motivations (punishment and reward), and intrinsic motivations. It talks about how we primarily attempt to apply extrinsic motivations, but those are often counterproductive. Extrinsic motivations are good for cog in the wheel type work, but not for creative work. This brings to mind many of the points made inReality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World. She claims we play games for much the same intrinsic motivation that this book says drives the modern work force, and she makes much the same claim that we need to take advantage of this. We do best with autonomy, when we can leverage our best skills to get things done. We do best when we're challenged, not frustrated per se, but not bored. We do best when we feel like what we're doing makes a difference. It doesn't have to be save the world type stuff, but someone who manages clothing inventory at a chain store for example, feels better about the work knowing the impact they're having on helping the company grow and the customers find the kind of selection they need.

We know this stuff. We've long known this stuff. But even universities hosting the studies that are proving and examining this are still reluctant to move forward. This is nothing new. Professor Allitt makes the same case about farmers refusing to implement improved techniques in agriculture in his lecture seriesThe Industrial Revolution. But it may well be a more serious consideration today, as change is coming faster, and competition is more fierce.

Publisher's Summary:

By best-selling author Melissa Joy Jonsson, the Little Book of Big Potentials is a culmination of her unique, expansive work integrating scientific principles and spiritual concepts into practical daily experiences. It offers a complete system of relating, assimilating, and embodying empowered, joy-filled, extraordinary living.

The Little Book of Big Potentials is about much more than recasting thoughts or beliefs to change reality. This book is about commanding the power of the unified heart and information fields that shape the experience of reality. Through a delightful interweaving of science, spiritual insight, enlightening humor, and practical play, Melissa Joy takes us into the heart of interactive reality creation and provides easily accessible M-Joy Fields for transforming experiences that touch all aspects of life.

Offering an evolutionary perspective on the nature of reality based on universal truths, scientific observations, and practical experience, Melissa Joy shines light on information as love's creation. The Little Book of Big Potentials is beautifully articulated in a "language of light", offering the opportunity for everyone in the collective to experience True Authentic Self (TAS) and to walk fully in integrity. This is a path of self-love, authenticity, and personal truth that, if we simply embody it, can transform all that we relate to in our individual and shared experiences.

Change your field resonance in the love hologram, and everything can change.

Not so little book of big brilliance

What made the experience of listening to Little Book of Big Potentials the most enjoyable?

The material was really well structured and MJ made it easy to ease your way through the terrains and landscapes this book will inevitably guide you to explore. The concepts are explained and presented really well and overall it's an inspiring, intelligent and beautiful creation.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Little Book of Big Potentials?

I think there are several but the one I'll write here is that each field for instance really takes you on a visceral journey into yourself - you'll physically, psychologically, emotionally experience the connections you make and the parts of yourself you open up as you let yourself be guided into what each field offers. The book transcends being a book and presents itself as an experience!

Have you listened to any of Melissa Joy Jonssons other performances before? How does this one compare?

Both books offer lots and will reach you where you are, though I feel in this one I hear MJ's unique voice of being much more, and I loved it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

As with any experience with living information I think the magic really is that the information in this book will reach you, move through you and have you move through it in exactly the way you need in any given moment. When I write that it's intelligent, I mean it can be as interactive with you as you allow it.

Any additional comments?

MJ really brought forth and extends a beautiful mix of inspiration, invaluable information and invitation into the exploration of consciousness and reality creation in this one of a kind little book.

A MUST LISTEN For Everyone

The wisdom of the ages does not diminish over time. How lucky are we to have these kinds of gold nuggets to reflect back on!

Great ma.n Of Mandino

Good story to re read and he has so many good ones. Good luck in all his adventures

Og is great!

I love Og and all his books are great. Great motivator and role model. Even though his material is dated, it never gets old!

Awesome!

The opportunity to hear Og Mandingo in his own voice is fantastic.

I read The Greatest Secret in the World and it had a major impact on me and I now list the 10 Scroll titles aloud daily. I have been doing this for about 4 years and it has improved the quality of my life and bank accounts immensely.

There will always be challenges in life and if we have not had big challenges, it is only because we are not striving hard enough.

Og at his best

More great messages from Og. This is an easy listen while on the elliptical machine. Highly recommended

Much Needed!

The information was practical and straight forward. I also started listening to this while im falling asleep. Its been a game changer for sure! My perception of money has changed!

Interesting

I've read several books of this kind, and this one was very unpredictable. I like how at every turn the author, has a unexpected ending. Joseph Murphy is pretty good for my picky taste

Unexpectable good book.

Find here some idea, that dont revealed in other books of law of attraction.

Very powerful information and contain a lot of proofs.

Contain good stories and examples. The only thing that i dont liked, is that a lot of Bible stories and metafors here as well. In my opinion they are a little bit too much, but overall i really liked it. Definately will relisten it several times in the nearest future.

A must read

I feel rich already! Love this book! You will too, so get started today!

Absolutely amazing book

I truly enjoyed listening to this audio book. It has truly encouraged and uplifted me to realize the importance of how to attract money for the good of others not so much as myself. Money is a tool to bless and impact lives for good. I will continue to re-read this audio book until it becomes a part of me in order to fulfill my God given destiny. I highly recommend this audio book

I thought the book was great. but do away with the music. be persistent persistent persistent.

Average!

Starts well but after chapter 3 it all goes pear shaped.

There is way too much of what makes this and makes that but not enough how it's done. For the amount been charged I would have thought that there would be more than a sandwich of old seminars packed as a fresh sandwich !

Want to be the best? To be the best you have to train physically and mentally to your maximum capacity.

Worthless. Don't waste your money.

Short and completely worthless. Didn't offer anything I didn't already know. Not creative at all.
