Intrinsic Motivation: Learn to Love Your Work and Succeed as Never Before

by Stefan Falk

Intrinsic motivation―doing a thing for its inherent satisfaction rather than external rewards―is the key to success and satisfaction in any endeavor. A legendary performance coach shares his simple, proven, and fun methods for cultivating and keeping it.

To be productive and optimistic about our personal and professional lives, we want to feel that we can understand and influence what is happening around us today, and that we have a reliable insight into what will happen tomorrow. We also require a rich, supportive, and secure social life. As more of us work remotely and the frequency of our in-person contact decreases, this desire for connection and trust has only become more important; the social drive is so strong that our body temperature drops when we feel excluded.

To satisfy our psychological needs in today’s professional world, we must pursue them consciously and purposefully―but unfortunately, most of us don't know how to do so effectively. Instead, we waste our time on ineffective coping strategies that often make us feel even worse. The true solution to becoming happier, healthier, and more productive is to become intrinsically To stop wasting time on activities that don’t really contribute to our careers or our company’s success, eschew the dog-eat-dog culture of modern business, and find ways to take pleasure in what we do―and to do it well.

Intrinsic Motivation by Stefan Falk is a comprehensive guide to achieving this goal. Filled with methods and techniques he developed at McKinsey & Company and through 25 years as a senior executive and performance coach working with elite athletes, top executives, special operators in the armed forces, and leaders from all walks of life, this book will revolutionize your approach to success at work and beyond.

This is such a corporate bro book. Take some dude who seems charismatic, bullet point compilations of words/phrases that have been used over and over again in every career-focused book + Psych 101 concepts about motivation and then throw in some random bolded phrases for good measure, some meaningless acronyms (because corporate America loves an acronym), and a sentence or two of a random personal anecdote to be "relatable" and voila.

Hard pass.

It took me 5 minutes to read this book because there is literally no substance. I knew I was going to hate it after reading the introduction 2 months ago because it sounded like it was going to be a "come drink the Koolaid" type thing, and it was. It took me 2 months to start the actual book portion because I was dreading it. I was right to dread it. A lot of the advice is terrible and sounds like what the CEO would tell the employees who are being exploited for their labor to try to make them think their job doesn't suck.

So glad I don't work in this type of environment. No wonder everyone I know who works in corporate America hates it.

Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

Trải qua những năm còn ngồi trên ghế nhà trường, chúng ta ai rồi cũng phải bước vào con đường sáng xách túi đi chiều xách túi về để bán mình cho tư bản. Không ít lần mình nghe mọi người kêu than về việc chán đi làm, mệt mỏi vì quá nhiều công việc ập tới mỗi khi ngồi xuống trước bàn làm việc, và cả sự bức bối với những điều khó ưa chốn công sở.

Mình là người ghét việc phải ngồi liền 8-9 tiếng ở văn phòng và trải qua phần lớn thời gian trong sự rảnh rỗi cực độ hoặc bận rộn cực độ, không có 1 sự cân bằng. Mình thích làm ít giờ nhưng hiệu quả, thời gian còn lại của ngày dùng để phát triển bản thân, chơi với các em bé con và nghỉ ngơi.

Nếu anh em cũng đã từng một lần như vậy, hãy đọc cuốn này nhé. Mình đã dành trọn vẹn 2 tuần, mỗi ngày chỉ đọc 1-2 chương ngắn và hoàn thành em nó trong sự vui vẻ hài lòng, vì mình đã chọn lựa được 1 vài phương pháp và áp dụng được chúng vào công việc của mình.

Một trong những chương mình thích nhất là chương 6 và 10 của phần thứ nhất, khi tác giả hướng dẫn về cách ‘Tạo quỹ thời gian và theo dõi thời gian mỗi ngày’ và ‘Xác định mục tiêu quan trọng nhất cho mỗi ngày làm việc’. Các bước rất rõ ràng và dễ hiểu – sự vất vả trong công việc đã đủ rồi nên cái gì mà khó hiểu quá thì thôi chúng ta hãy bỏ qua – mình nghĩ ai cũng có thể áp dụng theo được.
Phần 2 cũng khá ổn và thích hợp cho chúng ta cải thiện cách tư duy và quản lí cảm xúc của bản thân tốt hơn – đáng đọc, nhưng phần 3 thì mình chỉ ưng ý với vài phần thôi.

Nếu nói 100% cuốn này phù hợp với mình thì cũng không đúng, nhưng 70% thì hợp lí và từng ấy mình nghĩ cũng đã quá đủ.

Đâu rồi ạ, những cánh tay chán đi làm vẫn giơ cao mỗi ngày và chỉ chực chờ hô nghỉ việc vì mất động lực của anh em đâu rồi ạ?
Hãy đọc cuốn này và biến công việc thành niềm vui, hoặc ít ra là không phải sự mệt mỏi nữa nha 🥹🫶🏻✨

I was intrigued by this book because intrinsic motivation is what drives our discretionary effort at work -- are we willing to give more because it motivates and feeds us in some way. The book is laid out in clear chapters with tools and tips so made it easy to follow. Some of the content was very light (such as the chapter on diversity) and when I read it started as a pamphlet at McKinsey Consulting where he was working it started making sense to me why some of it felt light. Overall, I am not sure if this book is for everyone - some of his tips I found kind of revolting and some of them helpful. There is a huge push toward "tough love" and "managing up" and just kind of "sucking it up" for the job. I am not sure if this leads to greater intrinsic motivation - but rather could help you survive any job you are in.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

ĐỘNG LỰC NỘI TẠI
Stefan Falk

/non-fiction/ /self-help/ /personal-development/

“Nếu thế giới nội tâm của bạn đủ mạnh, nó có thể thay đổi những thực tế của thế giới bên ngoài”

—
Cuốn sách khiến mình thay đổi suy nghĩ rất nhiều về cách chúng mình bị tác động bởi ngoại cảnh và tầm quan trọng của quản trị tâm trí đối với việc phát triển bản thân (mở rộng ra là thái độ đối với cuộc sống, hạnh phúc hơn trong công việc và đạt tới thành công)

Mình đang trong giai đoạn có rất nhiều băn khoăn và mông lung về công việc và con đường tương lai. Mình vẫn biết mình không yêu thích công việc hiện tại, nhưng dạo gần đây mọi thứ có vẻ bắt đầu vượt khỏi tầm kiểm soát, và mình bắt đầu đổ lỗi rất nhiều cho môi trường hoặc con người nơi mình đang làm việc. Trong những ngày siêu mệt mỏi như thế thì mình được chị Trang giới thiệu và gửi tặng cuốn sách này. Mình cũng đọc thử và kết quả là… em ý đã góp phần rất lớn trong việc định hình lại tư duy và giúp mình sống sót (cũng như là tận hưởng công việc hiện tại hơn)

“Làm sao để yêu công việc của bạn và đạt tới thành công”

Cuốn sách được chia làm 3 phần, lần lượt là những nội dung giúp bạn học cách yêu thích mọi hoạt động, định hình số phận và làm chủ các trở ngại trên con đường đi tới thành công và hạnh phúc trong công việc

Bên cạnh các kiến thức về quản trị tâm trí, tác giả còn đưa ra rất nhiều ví dụ dễ hiểu và các phương pháp/bài tập cụ thể để chúng mình có thể áp dụng vào cuộc sống. Với cách sắp xếp từng phần từ dễ dàng thực hiện - hơi khó thực hiện - khó thực hiện, mình sẽ biết là ‘à phần này mình sẽ áp dụng được ngay, còn phần này phải đi từ từ từng bước như này nè’

Trong quá trình vừa đọc vừa ghi chú, mình nhận ra một số ‘keyword’ được tác giả nhắc đến rất nhiều trong sách, đặc biệt trong số đó là “tư duy chủ đích”. Nội dung sách nhấn mạnh về cách bạn có thể quản trị tâm trí và học cách yêu thích mọi thứ mình làm. Từ việc chủ động hơn trong suy nghĩ, chúng mình sẽ thay đổi hành vi và là người làm chủ tình huống. Từ đó mà mình sẽ bớt việc lười suy nghĩ và đổ lỗi cho hoàn cảnh (những tác động từ bên ngoài)

Mình rất thích cuốn sách này, vì em ý đã thay đổi hoàn toàn suy nghĩ của mình về ‘môi trường làm việc không phù hợp’. Mình từng đổ lỗi cho hoàn cảnh hay người khác vì những lý do rất ngớ ngẩn rồi bào chữa là tại vì những chuyện đó đó cho nên mình vẫn đang dậm chân tại chỗ và có cảm giác thất bại như hiện tại. Nhưng rồi đọc sách và mình nhận ra là, lý do cốt lõi là mình quản lý bản thân mình không tốt (không chỉ trong suy nghĩ mà còn cả hành động thiếu tính kỷ luật nữa). “Động lực nội tại” giúp mình nhìn nhận về môi trường công sở theo một góc nhìn khác (nơi hiệu quả công việc và lợi ích tập thể nên được đặt cao hơn cảm xúc cá nhân), và những bí kíp giúp mình cải thiện mối quan hệ với đồng nghiệp và định hướng lại con đường của bản thân

Đọc xong sách thì mình hơi thắc mắc là ‘nếu niềm vui khi đi làm chủ yếu phụ thuộc vào cách mình nghĩ và hành động, thì liệu có tồn tại một ‘môi trường làm việc lành mạnh’ không?’. Và câu hỏi này của mình đã được tác giả trả lời ở phần cuối của cuốn sách trong phần “cách thiết kế của nơi làm việc giúp mọi người trải nghiệm cảm giác tự chủ” (nơi mình có thể gây ảnh hưởng, định hình và phát triển trong công việc)

Cuốn sách này thiên về các công cụ và nguyên tắc để giúp bạn làm chủ môi trường bên trong bạn (tâm trí bạn) nên nội dung chủ yếu xoay quanh chuyện công sở (dĩ nhiên). Ban đầu thì muốn giới thiệu em ý với cả thế giới nhưng sau khi đọc xong thì mình thấy cuốn này rất hợp với những bạn đang làm việc văn phòng (dạng công ty, doanh nghiệp, tổ chức đồ các thứ á). Hoặc những bạn học sinh, sinh viên đang muốn tìm hiểu về cách giải quyết những cảm xúc tiêu cực một cách hiệu quả và quản trị tâm trí

Không biết so sánh như này có bị khập khiễng không nhưng “Động lực nội tại” giúp ích cho mình nhiều hơn “Dám hạnh phúc” và “Dám bị ghét”. Có lẽ vì những phương pháp, bài học trong sách rất dễ hình dung và áp dụng vào thực tiễn - khi mình đã làm việc trong môi trường công sở khá lâu và hầu hết mọi vấn đề mà mình đang gặp đều là xuất phát từ công việc. Cảm giác bớt trừu tượng hơn và thực tế hơn rất nhiều

“Bí quyết để quản trị áp lực là quản trị tâm trí
…
Nơi làm việc không có ý nghĩa gì, ngay cả khi đó là một nơi tuyệt vời, nếu bạn không làm chủ được tâm trí để khai mở động lực nội tại của mình cho mọi kiểu công việc”

This book explores world of corporate excellence, offering a treasure trove of valuable advice. It's brimming with such helpful guidance that at times, the pace feels brisk to encompass it all. It's a must-read for young professionals just beginning their careers, as it provides valuable motivation tips and practical insights for advancing projects and igniting motivation.

Furthermore, it serves as an invaluable resource for effectively conveying information to ensure it catalyzes action. In summary, I recommend this book to anyone seeking to bolster their business knowledge and propel their career forward.

[cqmdh]

Cả quyển thích nhất câu: Luyện tài dễ hơn rèn đức rất nhiều, với chương cuối cùng.
Nhiều bí kíp có thể áp dụng trong duy trì các mối quan hệ người người, chứ ko chỉ áp dụng mỗi trong công việc. Trình bày rất cụ thể, có ví dụ thực tế chi tiết, nên để có thể tiếp thu trọn vẹn thì cần ghi chép trong khi đọc cực nhiều. Dù thế nào thì tinh thần của quyển sách vẫn là lấy con người làm gốc, xét tới cùng vì lợi ích của các bên liên quan, để suy xét xem việc đó có đáng để hy sinh bản thân và các mối quan hệ hay không. Sửa mình vẫn là cốt yếu.

The tone is too condescending and too business. As the author said, it was from a circulating booklet. Well, it should stay that way.

[Carolyn Bragg · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the approach and message of this book! Of all the business methods, self-help, and steps-to-success books I have read over the years, this one finally bypassed all of the clutter and went the heart of the matter. Essentially, it says:

Decide to love the work you do. Create excitement (within yourself) about every part of your day. Do it consciously and effectively. Adjust the work to more fully flow with your talents, and love the work you do.

Of course, there is more explanation and guidance to understand the concept and nuances--because we all view ideas based on our past experiences--but it points right to what gives me joy, and what I have only been partially applying in my life.

The five keys for using this as motivation (which I don't have room to list here), include mastery of the mind. Which is a fancy way of saying "Decide what you really want to do, plan it, fully commit to it, and do it."

What many people have trouble with is considering a decision to be final (unless something drastic happens). This is the part that requires mastery of the mind. Once you fully commit to something, there should be a feeling of freedom from uncertainty and doubt. Self-control isn't restrictive, it's just like carefully writing software to achieve a good purpose.

Among other things, the book goes forward with clear logical methods that help individuals, leaders, and businesses, work smarter by creating a culture focused on the best value for the effort (cost), and whether activities or attitudes are in the best interest of the work (business).

Many of the ideas are not new, but the focus of this book is--as the title states--your motivation and the inherent value of loving your work. I recommend this book to students, educators, parents, and business people of all kinds. There are valuable insights for every person and type of group or organization!

5/5 Enthusiastic Stars!

Stefan Falk's "Intrinsic Motivation: Learn to Love Your Work and Succeed as Never Before" is an insightful manual for igniting your own drive and enthusiasm for your job. The book's central thesis is that the source of lasting motivation is within the individual and that the path to fulfillment is in pursuing work that speaks to one's deepest values and interests.
Falk starts off by defining the two types of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. True motivation, he contends, comes from a sense of purpose and fulfillment in one's job, not from temporary incentives like money and praise.
The author goes on to offer concrete suggestions for awakening one's own inherent drive, such as reevaluating one's priorities in life, establishing a sense of purpose, and finding pleasure in one's work. He also offers advice for overcoming procrastination and self-doubt, two of the most typical mental blocks to motivation.
Falk's insistence that you should do employment that reflects your ideals and interests is one of the book's strongest points. He claims that we are more likely to feel motivated, productive, and fulfilled when our work has personal significance. He includes several real-life case studies of people who followed their passions to great success and fulfillment and teaches readers on how they, too, might do the same.
Self-awareness and introspection are also stressed throughout the text. Falk suggests that his readers take stock of their personal beliefs, abilities, and motivations before settling on a career choice. He also stresses the significance of fostering one's own inspiration and contentment rather than looking to others or circumstances for these things.
Overall, "Intrinsic Motivation" is an informative and interesting read that can help readers better understand what drives them and how they can find more satisfaction in their profession. Anyone who wants to be more driven at work and experience more job satisfaction should read this book.

This book is suitable for peoples who are working, or they are going to work in the future. These thinking are written by a student, and i haven't working yet, i just have a plan to work in the future but it has too far. Therefore, i rate this book is so low, and it's a different opinion from me.
Firstly, author Stefan Falk create a guiding principle for all chapter of this book, that's "make people become more and more love thier jobs". This word appear so many times in this book, all lessons, skills, and method are surrounding it. That's which i remmember when i closed the book and apply it into my life. I admit it so helpful in sometime, especially in stressful or dangerous situaion. Besides, i'm sure it will become a powerful if i know how to use it correctly.
Secondly, there are so much evidence from CEO,businessman, director, high staff or low staff,.. And so many other people. All of them had used solutions and method from author, and they gained successful and become better version of themself. I admired them, i try my best to become like them!
Moreover, author has shared many stories from his life, his client, and about the path of evolution of himself. I see that those stories are very realistic, closer to our life, and especialy is eassy to do it! Therefore, i have motivation and good habit from the day i finished this book. Although i didn't absorb the main topic, which author want to share for all people, that's way to love our working, i still gained for my own lessons, that's ways to live and take advantage from my live. For my futurre, my life!
Finally, if you are working, and you are confused with your jobs, i recommend you should read the books "Instrict Motivation" of Stefan Falk. I'm not sure you'll be changed now, but you will be better than you think!

Stefan Falk's INTRINIC MOTIVATION delivers long-lasting benefits as well as an immediate, great read. Drawing on years of experience as human, management consultant, and thinker, Falk discusses the essential habits of living your excitement in doing whatever you undertake with focus, attention, and commitment to thoroughly enjoy what you are doing -- and thus, live life fully and wholeheartedly. Unlike many how-to guides, Falk has walked the talk, enthuses and inspires with stories of others who are working with passion and excitement, oriented more to their curiosity, passions, and drives than to what is offered in terms of status, money, and worldly success. The timing for this book could not be better as we're collectively figuring out who we want to be and what we want to make of our vastly different worlds. Thoughtout, I felt like I was having coffee with a very smart, very personable mentor. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.

[Erik Nelson · Rating 3 out of 5]

his book is solid and has good information on intrinsic motivation. It had some sharp behavioral-science nuggets, and I especially liked the example of the bank account that locks your money for savings and the research showing that even just having the option of a locked account nudged people to save more.

But much of the book leaned on psychology ideas that are explained more clearly and with stronger evidence in other sources. The author also sometimes gives advice that feels overly rigid—like “never do…”—without the nuance or balance most situations call for.

The biggest problem for me was that it spent too much time on leadership stories about big corporations led by Ivy-educated executives needing self-help—and not nearly enough about the kinds of work most people actually do.

That said, the author isn’t just a writer, and he writes well. It’s a good book overall, and I feel a little bad giving it only 3 stars.

Review:

I really appreciated how realistic this book is. It doesn't sugar coat things and tell you how successful it will be if you just do this or that or the other. I really appreciated seeing the common mistakes people make. I also really appreciated seeing how to be as an employee and an employer. I don't really know how to talk too much about this book. It's packed with a lot of information. I feel more comfortable with being organized with work. I also feel like if I were ever to find myself in a leadership role, I'd know how to take care of my employees. I'd know how to make them feel heard and appreciated thanks to several pieces of advice in this book.

DNF: 17%

I'm sure there are people who enjoyed this book (or even finished this book) but I will never be one of those people. For a book that claims to be able to teach you to love anything you do, it's very hard to love reading this.

I had a feeling from the introduction that I wasn't the right audience for this but I persisted as long as I could. The vibe is very corporate bro, negative-thinking-is-a-personal-failing. And Stefan's coaching style is not one I respond positively to. To cap all that off, it didn't feel like it was saying anything new. In fact, he seemed to make up acronyms for no reason, which only confused me and made me run away sooner than I might have otherwise.

Y'all can skip this.

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and the author for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is a treasure-trove of ideas for getting unstuck and moving forward. What I found as I read these quick chapters is that some stood out immediately as great ideas I wanted to try right away, while others sounded less relevant to my immediate circumstances, and a few seemed truly unpleasant. I really appreciate this level of variety - this seems like a book one can dip in and out of in different seasons of life and find a few ideas to refresh perspective right away. And what a fun conversational world this will be if we all adopt his suggestion about sharing part of your day with others (kids especially) in a way that makes being a grown up seem like a good and fun thing. We could all use more of that.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this book.

If you're picking up a book entitled Intrinsic Motivation you're likely hoping to find ways to motivate yourself or others. The author offers a tough love approach to the topic with tools that range from easy to implement to those that will require a real change and digging deep into what you're willing to do to get what you want. Ultimately, the reader will probably ask themselves the most important question, what is it that is motivating to me and what is demotivating to me and how do I put myself in position to get more of what I want and avoid what I don't want. The author's strategies about managing up and such can then be helpful.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is not a book about the psychology of intrinsic motivation. In fact, only 1/3 of it relates to that.

It is essentially a brain dump of the author's coaching and c-suite insights detailed in short chapters. If you are looking to be a better manager/leader in the work environment, then you may find it helpful.

This is one of those books that has over a hundred tips/strategies to implement which makes it hard to read cover to cover. It is better to look at the table of contents and just reference the parts which you need.

The content is 5 stars as it is based on battle-tested frameworks. However, I could only give 4 because it didn't deliver on its title.

[Christina · Rating 5 out of 5]

I remember hearing about Stefan Falk when I was in the military and remember his books being highly recommended for professional development. This topic of intrinsic motivation is TOUGH. How do you become intrinsically motivated? How do you get others to? THAT is the big question. This book really makes you stop and think about the little things that you're doing and what may be stopping you from true happiness/success/fulfillment. I recommend this to other military members and now professionals in my 2nd career life, post military.

*ARC Review*

I enjoyed this book! As someone who is on the verge of leaving grad school and starting "real life", I was excited to pick this book up. It gave me some good skills to keep a level head as I start my first professional role. I was glad to see some of the science behind intrinsic motivation and the antidotes were engaging. I didn't necessarily agree with everything the book had to say, but that is the beauty of it! I can take what I want and create a method that works for me.

[Scott Robertson · Rating 2 out of 5]

A few good points, but disappointing overall
I did find a few good points in this book, but overall it was very disappointing. I agree with the concept of recognizing and achieving intrinsic motivation - recognize what I do well and relish in the act of doing it/delivering it. However, while that concept was stated, the bulk of this book was productivity 101 rather than how to 'learn to love your work and succeed as never before'. This book does not live up to its own hype.

The Motivation Is Coming From Inside The Self!

I really liked this book on motivation.

It had some great tips on how to move forward with projects and get motivated.

I also thought it was a really good book on how to present information to others to make sure that it gets actioned on.

A really good book to further your business and career.

Would very much recommend!

This book on motivation was on motivation and about increasing company profits and output and dealing with difficult people. I often found myself reminding myself what the book title was actually about as the content seemed a bit loose around it main takeaways - be excited about life, find something challenging and exciting in every day, and tips on increasing productivity.
