Today, we're talking about \"Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us\" by Daniel H. Pink.


He explores the science behind human motivation, which is something that's valuable to know as individuals, as leaders, and as teachers—learning about what drives us, but also what drives and motivates our students and those that we work with. It's really important to understand the psychology behind motivation and I thought this book would be a good introduction to that topic.
