An important new ideas book about motivation from an influential and bestselling author

He shows the limits of carrots and sticks and explores the hard-headed power of autonomy, mastery, and purpose to help us work smarter and live better.' Chris Anderson, author of THE LONG TAIL and FREE. 'A very important, convincingly argued and mind-altering book.' Po Bronson, author of What Should I Do With My Life? 'His book is inspiring; if you think of your work as art, rather than drudgery, you'll do it well.' The Guardian
