Drive : the surprising truth about what motivates us by Pink, Daniel H.
Call Number: WKR TR153.8 PIN
ISBN: 9781847677693
Publication Date: 2011
We've been conditioned to think that the best way to motivate ourselves and others is through external rewards like money or fame, or by the fear of punishment - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, Daniel H. Pink says in his transformative new book. The key to high performance and satisfaction is intrinsic, internal motivation: the desire to follow your own interests and understand the benefits in them for you.
Mindset by Carol S. Dweck
ISBN: 9781400062751
Publication Date: 2006-02-28
World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea--the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success--but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals--personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area. Praise for Mindset "Everyone should read this book."--Chip and Dan Heath, authors of Switch and Made to Stick "Will prove to be one of the most influential books ever about motivation."--Po Bronson, author of NurtureShock "A good book is one whose advice you believe. A great book is one whose advice you follow. I have found Carol Dweck's work on mindsets invaluable in my own life, and even life-changing in my attitudes toward the challenges that, over the years, become more demanding rather than less. This is a book that can change your life, as its ideas have changed mine."--Robert J. Sternberg, IBM Professor of Education and Psychology at Yale University, director of the PACE Center of Yale University, and author of Successful Intelligence "If you manage any people or if you are a parent (which is a form of managing people), drop everything and read Mindset."--Guy Kawasaki, author of The Art of the Start and the blog How to Change the World "Highly recommended . . . an essential read for parents, teachers [and] coaches . . . as well as for those who would like to increase their own feelings of success and fulfillment."--Library Journal (starred review) "A serious, practical book. Dweck's overall assertion that rigid thinking benefits no one, least of all yourself, and that a change of mind is always possible, is welcome."--Publishers Weekly "A wonderfully elegant idea . . . It is a great book."--Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., author of Delivered from Distraction

Elite athletes employ simple strategies and techniques to improve performance. How better to gain an insight into these tried-and-tested methods, than to hear directly from the elite athletes and coaches themselves? This insightful program takes us trackside to the training grounds of eight sportspeople from around the world, who share their personal insights and stories of performance training. We learn how to plan an effective training schedule and discuss the importance of psychological preparation.

The basis of good nutrition is balance: our intake needs to be balanced with our needs. Physical exercise increases the need for all the essential nutrients, particularly energy-giving fuels and water. In developing a nutritional plan, we need to be aware of the composition of different foods, and the demands placed on our bodies by different types of exercise. If we choose to use nutritional supplements, it's important to understand the potential pros and cons.
