I’ve attended numerous conferences and trainings on various topics such as: technology, teaching strategies, and leadership. Daniel H. Pink’s book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, has been mentioned and recommended at several of those events. I always make a list these books, but this is one that I haven’t had a chance to get to. A few week’s ago, I read Kevin Brookhouser’s book, The 20Time Project, and Drive is mentioned and highly recommended here also. I took it as a sign that I need to finally get my hands on it and read what it is all about. Finding a solution or possibly multiple solutions on how to motivate students and teachers is a topic that I find highly interesting and believe that the more knowledge-able I become in this area, the more effective educator I will become.

I love the graphic visual you gave with the book reflection. This more than anything makes me want to read the book. I agree that finding ways to help motivate our students and fellow teachers is the number one way to help people embracing learning.
