She was planning to kill the baby. Ron, a teen-age punk. He stole for kicks -- and almost found himself on the short end of a murder rap. Rock, a retired detective. He stopped to help a lady in distress -- and then he was dead!
Payoff
"Payoff investigates the true nature of motivation, our partial blindness to the way it works, and how we can bridge this gap. With studies that range from Intel to a kindergarten classroom, Ariely digs deep to find the root of motivation--how it works and how we can use this knowledge to approach important choices in our own lives. Along the way, he explores intriguing questions such as: Can giving employees bonuses harm productivity? Why is trust so crucial for successful motivation? What are our misconceptions about how to value our work? How does your sense of your mortality impact your motivation?"--Baker & Taylor.
