Today’s book: Drive by Daniel H. Pink—an eye-opening look at the real forces that fuel motivation—and how to unlock them in yourself and others.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

• Carrots and sticks don’t work long-term. External rewards and punishments can crush creativity and true engagement.
• Autonomy fuels motivation. People thrive when they have freedom to choose how they work and live.
• Mastery drives excellence. We’re deeply motivated by the urge to get better at things that matter.
• Purpose gives energy. Working toward something bigger than yourself lights up drive and resilience.
• Focus on intrinsic motivation. Align your goals with autonomy, mastery, and purpose—and you’ll tap into sustainable energy.

Lasting motivation isn’t bribed, it’s built. What’s one way you can fuel your autonomy, mastery, or purpose today?
