Reviews / Votes

'Two distinguished experts on human motivation have teamed up to show you how to navigate your way to success and happiness. There are lots of books on that topic, but the difference is that this book is based on scientific theory and research, so it presents techniques that are scientifically shown to work.' Robert J. Sternberg, Professor of Human Development, Cornell University 'This book presents an integrative, empirically-based framework for understanding motivation and its role in optimising human functioning. The addition of practical tools for enhancing the effectiveness and well-being of self and others makes this volume an essential resource for academics, students, and professionals in human relations.' Fred W. Vondracek, Emeritus Professor of Human Development, Pennsylvania State University 'This is a timely and practical discussion of the pathway to well-being. The authors synthesize a vast range of scientific literature to create a veritable handbook on how to thrive. It is a must read for anyone interested in creating a more meaningful life for themselves and others.' Shonna Waters, Vice President of BetterUp and Adjunct Professor, Georgetown University 'An intriguing, must-read book for anyone interested in promoting psychological and social well-being and pursuing a meaningful life. 'Social Purpose' is a cornerstone in understanding motivation and optimal human functioning, and in adopting restorative practices for threats to humanity that require broad-scale cooperation and socially responsible leadership.' Anastasia Kitsantas, Professor of Education, George Mason University 'The authors are two respected experts in the field of human motivation but their book is much more than an academic treatise. Motivating Self and Others: Thriving With Social Purpose, Life Meaning, and the Pursuit of Core Personal Goals will enlighten and inform everyday people and business professionals as well as students and academics.' Laurel Johnson, Midwest Book Review
