Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. PinkMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Mostly enjoyable, easy to absorb and very well organised. The first two sections of the book are coherently structured in the best way possible, you can list the takeaways and they will stay with you longer. This is because each distinct point is obviously distinct yet connected with the larger theme. The organisation is stellar and some of the best I’ve found in nonfiction.
The ideas themselves are interesting, the research quoted feels credible to some degree. The first bit that explores the different types of motivation from a psychological perspective is probably the most compelling, the business applications offer cool insights into how this has been adapted to actionable ideas in the real world. Together, these sections are interesting to absorb. As with most non-fiction books, I think there is room for discontent that the reader needs to recognise and research in their own time before making up their mind.
The last section was the least enjoyable. The book recommendations were welcome, but the rest felt like it could’ve been better presented and organised.
I did appreciate the chapter summaries that the book concluded with. That is very useful for revisiting ideas.
