This book draws on the author's experiences as a staff psychologist in, and a consultant to organizations. It is written with a "mentor voice" that is highly personal and rich in examples, including enduring influences of mentors on researchers in the field. The book contains lots of anecdotes about, and from, the major thought leaders in the field of motivation. In doing so, the subject matter "comes alive".
