Audiobooks by Daniel H. Pink

Der New York Times Bestseller. Sind wir nicht alle davon überzeugt, dass wir am besten mit äußeren Anreizen wie Geld und Prestige oder durch „Zuckerbrot und Peitsche“ zu motivieren sind? „Alles falsch“, sagt Daniel H. Pink in seinem provokanten und zukunftsweisenden Hörbuch. Vergessen Sie alles, was Sie darüber zu wissen glaubten, wie man Menschen motiviert. Das Geheimnis unseres persönlichen Erfolges ist das zutiefst menschliche Bedürfnis, unser Leben selbst zu bestimmen, zu lernen, Neues zu erschaffen und damit unsere Lebensqualität und unsere Welt zu verbessern. Daniel H. Pink enthüllt die Widersprüche zwischen dem, was die Wissenschaft weiß, und dem, was die Wirtschaft tut – und wie genau dies jeden Aspekt unseres Lebens beeinflusst. Er demonstriert, dass das Prinzip von Bestrafung und Belohnung exakt der falsche Weg ist, um Menschen für die Herausforderungen von Heute zu motivieren, egal ob in Beruf oder Privatleben. In „Drive“ zeigt uns Daniel H. Pink: die drei Elemente der wirklichen Motivation: Selbstbestimmung, Perfektionierung und Sinnerfüllung; kluge sowie überraschende Techniken, um diese Elemente in die Tat umzusetzen, Menschen, die diese neuen Ansätze zur Motivation bereits erfolgreich in ihr Leben integriert haben und uns damit entschlossen einen außergewöhnlichen Weg in die Zukunft zeigen. Daniel H. Pink, studierter Sprachwissenschaftler und Jurist, beschäftigt sich als Sachbuchautor vorrangig mit den Themen Psychologie und Arbeitswelt. Als Journalist erschienen seine Beiträge im Technologie-Magazin Wired, als brillanter Formulierer steht er hinter den bahnbrechenden Reden des Ex-Vizepräsidenten Al Gore. Seine Werke, etwa Drive sind Dauergäste auf der New York Times-Bestsellerliste. Die Originalausgabe erschien unter dem Titel „Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us“.

When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing

Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets of good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home. Everyone knows that timing is everything. However, 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 his latest breakthrough book, Pink shows that timing is really a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married? Pink distills the newest research on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives. **Please Contact Customer Service for Additional Documents**

To Sell is Human: The Surprising Truth About Persuading, Convincing, and Influencing Others

A ground-breaking new business book from the New York Times No.1 Bestseller. We're all in Sales now. Each day millions of people earn their keep by convincing someone else to make a purchase. They sell planes to airlines, oil shares to sheiks, cars to drivers. They sell consulting agreements, magazine subscriptions, time-shares, double glazing, broadband, fitted kitchens, car insurance, life insurance, pet insurance! Some work in fancy offices with glorious views, others in dreary cubicles, but most look exactly like you. In fact, each and every one of us spends time trying to persuade others to part with resources - money, time, attention - though most of the time we don't realise we're doing it. Parents sell their kids on going to bed. Spouses sell their partners on mowing the lawn or putting the cat out. We sell our bosses on giving us more money and more time off. And in astonishing numbers we go online to sell ourselves on Facebook, Twitter and in Match.com profiles. In this new book from the bestselling author of Drive, Dan Pink explores the ways in which we can all improve our sales skills, in every area of our lives and identifies the three personal qualities and four essential skills necessary to move people. Relying on science rather than platitudes and analysis instead of exhortation, Dan builds on his own sales experience and on the profiles of some of the world's best salespeople - and makes us look again at our own sales skills.

To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others

From the bestselling author of Drive and A Whole New Mind comes a surprising--and surprisingly useful--new book that explores the power of selling in our lives. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one in nine Americans works in sales. Every day more than fifteen 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. Like it or not, we're all in sales now. To Sell Is Human offers a fresh look at the art and science of selling. As he did in Drive and A Whole New Mind, Daniel H. Pink draws on a rich trove of social science for his counterintuitive insights. He reveals the new ABCs of moving others (it's no longer "Always Be Closing"), explains why extraverts don't make the best salespeople, and shows how giving people an "off-ramp" for their actions can matter more than actually changing their minds. Along the way, Pink describes the six successors to the elevator pitch, the three rules for understanding another's perspective, the five frames that can make your message clearer and more persuasive, and much more. The result is a perceptive and practical book--one that will change how you see the world and transform what you do at work, at school, and at home.

Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation. 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.
