Drive | Daniel Pink | Business Book Summary 📖

"Drive," authored by Daniel Pink in 2009, delves into human motivation, particularly in modern workplaces. Pink critiques the traditional reward-punishment motivation model, termed "Motivation 2.0," as outdated. He proposes "Motivation 3.0," emphasizing intrinsic motivation, which he believes is more effective in the current era. This new model is based on three elements: Autonomy (the desire to direct our own lives), Mastery (the urge to improve in meaningful areas), and Purpose (the need to contribute to something greater than oneself).

In conclusion, Pink’s "Drive" highlights the significance of intrinsic motivation in enhancing satisfaction and productivity. He advocates for environments that support autonomy, mastery, and purpose, transforming how motivation is perceived and applied in personal and professional settings.
