Motivation is one of the most critical drivers in personal and business success. Why? Because, without motivation, nothing gets done. Motivation is a book for doers—and for those who want to be doers. It teaches you how to envision an outcome, define goals, and communicate objectives in a way that drives people to accomplish them. Inside you’ll learn:

*Which popular methods of motivation do (and don’t) work
*How to define personal and professional goals in a way that is inspiring
*How to recover lost motivation in yourself and in others

Motivation outlines the process of motivation and, most importantly, how to apply it to your business and your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars An encouraging guide on how to motivate yourself (and everybody else)
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2010
"Nothing is more important than motivation," says business author Tom Gorman. "Without it you can't do anything, build anything or be anything." Gorman provides a handy tour of the basic models of human motivation. He explains how to manage your ability to get up and go with joy and satisfaction. He also describes some ways to motivate others. Gorman's discussions about discovering your core purposes and the motivation that flows from implementing those goals are the book's most valuable aspects. His basic manual, written in a clear if somewhat choppy style, is a very serviceable summary of popular work about motivation placed in context by his reflections, rather than by original research. Nonetheless, getAbstract finds it useful, particularly for those who are new to the discussion.
