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.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than 15 million people earn their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase. But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges: Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. But so do the other eight. Whether we’re employees pitching colleagues on a new idea, entrepreneurs enticing funders to invest, or parents and teachers cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others.

Everybody has regrets, Daniel H. Pink explains in The Power of Regret. They’re a universal and healthy part of being human. And understanding how regret works can help us make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and bring greater meaning to our lives. Drawing on research in social psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Pink debunks the myth of the “no regrets” philosophy of life.

From the marketing consultant down the street to the home based "mompreneur," they are America's new economic icons: the job-hopping, tech-savvy, fulfillment-seeking, independent workers. This entertaining and provocative account of the new frontier - by Fast Company contributor Pink - will change your thinking...and maybe even change your life.

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't 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, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Nuestras vidas son un flujo interminable de acciones que implican «cuándo»: cuándo emprender un negocio, programar una clase, comprometerse, cambiar de trabajo... Sin embargo, tomamos esas decisiones basándonos en la intuición y en las conjeturas. Creemos que elegir el momento adecuado es un arte, pero en realidad, tal y como demuestra Daniel H. Pink en este audiolibro, se trata de toda una ciencia.

Lawyers. Accountants. Software Engineers. That what Mom and Dad encouraged us to become. They were wrong. Gone is the age of "left-brain" dominance. The future belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind: designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers - creative and emphatic "right-brain" thinkers whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn't.

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.

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't 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, it's often assumed, is an art; in When, Pink shows that timing is, in fact, a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work and succeed.

'No regrets.' You've heard people proclaim it as a philosophy of life. That's nonsense, even dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring work. Everybody has regrets. They're a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose.

In this new book from the best-selling author of Drive, Dan Pink explores the ways in which we can all improve our sales skills in every area of our lives and identifies the three personal qualities and four essential skills necessary to move people. Relying on science rather than platitudes and analysis instead of exhortation, Dan builds on his own sales experience and on the profiles of some of the world's best salespeople - and makes us look again at our own sales skills.

Muita gente acredita que a melhor maneira de motivar alguém é oferecer algum tipo de recompensa, como prêmios, promoções ou dinheiro. Esta visão está errada, diz Daniel Pink.

Sind wir nicht alle davon überzeugt, dass wir am besten mit äußeren Anreizen wie Geld und Prestige oder durch "Zuckerbrot und Peitsche" zu motivieren sind? "Alles falsch", sagt Daniel H. Pink in seinem provokanten und zukunftsweisenden Hörbuch. Vergessen Sie alles, was Sie darüber zu wissen glaubten, wie man Menschen motiviert.

Reue als Stärke - der völlig neue Blick auf eine unterschätzte Emotion. Der Bestsellerautor Daniel H. Pink entlarvt anhand neuester psychologischer Erkenntnisse die Mär vom scheinbar coolen Slogan "No regrets" – und führt vor Augen, wie wichtig Reue für unser Vorankommen ist. Denn jeder Mensch bereut, in seinem Leben etwas getan oder nicht getan zu haben. Er erklärt, wie wir diese unterschätzte Emotion verstehen und einordnen lernen, und wie sie uns dabei helfen kann, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen und unserem Leben einen größeren Sinn zu verleihen.

Qu'est-ce qui nous motive vraiment ? Quand sommes- nous les plus performants et épanouis ? Depuis le XIXe siècle, le taylorisme et l'organisation "scientifique" du travail ont fait du principe punition/récompense le paradigme de la motivation. Avec humour et études scientifiques à l'appui, Daniel Pink explique pourquoi ce modèle est dépassé. Le secret de la performance, c'est le besoin profondément humain d'apprendre, de créer et de s'améliorer sans cesse.
