Story
Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than 15 million people earn their keep by persuading someone else to make a purchase. But dig deeper and a startling truth emerges: Yes, one in nine Americans works in sales. But so do the other eight. Whether we’re employees pitching colleagues on a new idea, entrepreneurs enticing funders to invest, or parents and teachers cajoling children to study, we spend our days trying to move others.

In business, the right behaviors matter. But getting it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us into behaving in ways we would rather forget?

Everybody has regrets, Daniel H. Pink explains in The Power of Regret. They’re a universal and healthy part of being human. And understanding how regret works can help us make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and bring greater meaning to our lives. Drawing on research in social psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Pink debunks the myth of the “no regrets” philosophy of life.

We live in a hierarchical world where experience has traditionally been the key to promotion. But that period is over! Straight, clear-cut career trajectories no longer exist. Industries disappear, job descriptions change, and people's interests and passions evolve. The key to riding this wave, entrepreneur James Altucher advises, is to constantly be curious about what's next, to be comfortable with uncertainty so you can keep navigating the rough waters ahead, and most importantly, to pursue the things that interest you.

Innovation is the main event of the modern age, the reason we experience both dramatic improvements in our living standards and unsettling changes in our society. Forget short-term symptoms like Donald Trump and Brexit, it is innovation itself that explains them and that will itself shape the 21st century for good and ill. Yet innovation remains a mysterious process, poorly understood by policy makers and businessmen, hard to summon into existence to order, yet inevitable and inexorable when it does happen.

Publisher's Summary
The New York Times best seller that gives listeners a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing.
Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does - and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation - autonomy, mastery, and purpose - and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.
What the critics say
"Pink makes a convincing case that organizations ignore intrinsic motivation at their peril." (Scientific American)
"Persuasive...Harnessing the power of intrinsic motivation rather than extrinsic remuneration can be thoroughly satisfying and infinitely more rewarding." (Miami Herald)
"These lessons are worth repeating, and if more companies feel emboldened to follow Mr. Pink's advice, then so much the better." (Wall Street Journal)

This book helped me understand more about myself
This is one of the best books I've ever read. It helped me understand more about myself, about what drives me, what drives other people and how I should interprete that. I work in a team of very dedicated and focused people who help each other a lot, like unusually a lot. This was one of the strange things I have experienced in this team. For a long time I was wondering why people in this team have such a good attitude toward each other and why the average tenure in this team is way longer than in other teams. From this book I learnt that people with similar values, with similar interests that drive them, stick together, and stick for a prolonged time. This is very similar to why couples stick together in life.
Now this book also explains how to discover yourself, how to start analyzing your own behavior: why certain things make you mad, why others motivate you. It's all about what you value and whether or not the surroundings and circumstances satisfy these values. Unlike the basic needs for certaincty and uncertainty, these values cover the upper level of needs, i.e. the need to feel significant, desire to grow, and eventually need to contribute back to the society. All these three needs can be satisfied with the values we choose. This is why it is very important to identify the right values. The book helps with this.
I should not forget mentioning that the voice of the author is incredible which sounds very authoritative. One of the reasons why I could absorb the content of this book is because how easy it was to listen for his narration as if he was talking directly to me.
One of the best books and best narrations I've ever listened to, hands down.

Motivation 3.0
In this book Daniel focuses on the evolution of motivation due to our surroundings and our natural strong desire purpose, creativity and autonomy. This is a must read if you're running your own company, managing one, or if you're looking for some clues as to what your purpose is.
