  • Genuine motivation

    Some of you know I’m writing a book on human motivation.  Before I tell you what it’s about, which I’ll do soon enough, let me tell you what it’s not about — via this poster from the brilliant and hilarious people at Despair, Inc.

      Awesome, do you have a date for it yet?

      Dan….I am looking forward to it! I finished Matt May’s galley copy of hisbook….I was very impressed. I think Matt’s timing is great. Both of you have a very nice writing style. I will keep my eye open for your release date…..Mike

      The posters there are hilarious, but thanks for not writing about *that* type of motivation…

      I’ll be looking for your next book – I’ll buy it in hardcover even! :-D

      Jan 2010…perfect. Just in time for me to start my dissertation. Or start putting off my dissertation. Motivation will be needed.

      Love this. I’ve told my husband a thousand times that a picture with the word MOTIVATION or COURAGE hanging on my wall is not going to motivate me or instill courge within. Looking forward to the book.
