Description

The basic strategy we use for raising children, teaching students, and managing workers can be summarised in six words: “Do this and you’ll get that.” We dangle goodies (from candy bars to sales commissions) in front of people in much the same way we train the family pet. Drawing on a wealth of psychological research, Alfie Kohn points the way to a more successful strategy based on working with people instead of doing things to them., ‘Do rewards motivate people?’ asks Kohn. ‘Yes. They motivate people to get rewards.’, Seasoned with humour and familiar examples, ‘Punished By Rewards’ presents an argument unsettling to hear but impossible to dismiss.,

We’re Moving to a New Platform!

Hello there,

We’re excited to share that we’re in the process of moving to a brand-new platform designed to offer you an even better experience.

That said, we still have a lot to move—thousands of articles, blogs, and other content—which is taking a bit longer than we’d hoped.

While we continue transitioning everything over, you’ll be redirected to the new platform for sections like Events, Jobs, the Directory, Shops, and Membership, which are already up and running.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this process.
