Excellent book. Gorman writes on the science, philosophy, and inspiration behind what motivates people. This is not some cheesy get-fired-up book; it's a logical, positive message on understanding motivation and how find more of it. I'm glad I discovered this book and encourage you to read it as well.

Tom Gorman has given a really good analysis on motivation, packaged in a small book (literally between A5 and A6 pages) with short, sharp, punchy chapters.

I particularly appreciated the toolbox at the end, which leaves you with actionable practices to put the learning to work.

An encouraging guide on how to motivate yourself (and everybody else)

“Nothing is more important than motivation,” says business author Tom Gorman. “Without it you can’t do anything, build anything or be anything.” Gorman provides a handy tour of the basic models of human motivation. He explains how to manage your ability to get up and go with joy and satisfaction. He also describes some ways to motivate others. Gorman’s discussions about discovering your core purposes and the motivation that flows from implementing those goals are the book’s most valuable aspects. His basic manual, written in a clear if somewhat choppy style, is a very serviceable summary of popular work about motivation placed in context by his reflections, rather than by original research. Nonetheless, getAbstract finds it useful, particularly for those who are new to the discussion.
