The motivation myth

Book • 2018
In "The Motivation Myth," Jeff Haden challenges conventional wisdom about motivation, arguing that it's not something we inherently possess but rather something we cultivate.

He emphasizes the importance of focusing on small wins and consistent effort to build momentum and achieve larger goals.

Haden's approach emphasizes the intrinsic rewards of work and the power of positive emotions in driving success.

The book offers practical strategies for improving productivity and well-being.

Ultimately, Haden's message is about finding joy in the process of achieving goals, rather than solely focusing on the outcome.
