3 most valuable books about motivation

I have chosen and recommend these positions, not only because they are bestsellers, but because after reading and implementing their "content," I completely changed my approach to motivation. 👉 Previously, I believed in one of the biggest principles that says "if you have motivation, you will act." Jeff Hayden, in his bestselling book "The Motivation Myth - You Don't Even Know How Much You Can Achieve," challenges this theory. 👉 You've probably wanted to motivate yourself and looked for a way to make that state of "excitement" or simply desire last all the time. The truth, however, is that continuous search for motivation always ends in failure because even if you have it for a while, it will eventually disappear like camphor. Discovering passion won't help with this phenomenon either. Passion, of course, uplifts, but not permanently, not to mention that some activities associated with it can be uninteresting. The author proposes a change in thinking and ceasing the search for the Holy Grail. Instead, he suggests moving forward by finding the tiniest reason that leads to action. Because true motivation is the result of achievements, not the cause. I won't reveal everything, but I can only say that this book is a true game-changer when it comes to motivation. 👉 The second position, "Drive - The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us" by Daniel H. Pink, also strongly changes the perspective on this subject. Above all, it challenges the most well-known scheme, namely the "carrot and stick" often referred to as "if-then." D.H. Pink proposes three new elements of motivation: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. While we have long known about the connection between purpose and motivation, the first two are interesting and can be utilized in work. I especially encourage managers to start using them in their teams because the benefits are guaranteed. The book also contains many examples for both individual motivation and workplaces such as offices or companies. 👉 The third position, "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins, is a very convincing story of a transformation from "zero to hero." The author, through his own example, shows how much we can change ourselves, despite a difficult childhood of poverty, discrimination, and physical abuse. As an icon of the American armed forces (Navy SEALs) and one of the best endurance athletes in the world, he shows how to find strength within oneself, accept pain and fear, and reprogram one's mind to achieve set goals and become a better person. 👉 This book will definitely inspire you to take action, and there are also many mental techniques that you can apply to achieve high business and personal goals. I also recommend watching Goggins on YouTube to get into his energy. 👉 If you know of other interesting books on motivation that have had a strong impact on you, let me know in the comments.
