Daniel Pink to Speak at Park School

Submitted by on February 13, 2010 – 8:24 pmNo Comment


AUTHOR AND CNN AND NPR COMMENTATOR DANIEL PINK TO SPEAK AT PARK SCHOOL

Wednesday, March 3, 7:30pm

2425 Old Court Road, Baltimore

Pink will discuss his new book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us


From  Daniel Pink, the author of the bestseller A Whole New Mind, comes a new book about what motivates us, and how we can learn to work smarter and live better. Many believe that the best way to motivate is with external rewards—the carrot-and-stick approach. Pink will explain why that’s a mistake and that the secret to high performance and satisfaction at work, at school, and at home is the need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better for our world.  Publishers Weekly said: “Pink’s analysis and new model of motivation offers tremendous insight into our deepest nature.” Drive is on The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journalbest-seller lists.

Pink is the author of the long-running New York Times and BusinessWeek bestseller A Whole New Mind, and The Adventures of Johnny Bunko and Free Agent Nation. He has written for The New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, and Wired, where he is a contributing editor. He has provided analysis for CNN, CNBC, ABC, NPR, and other networks in the U.S. and abroad. Pink lectures on economic transformation and the new workplace at corporations, associations, and universities around the world.

The event is free and open to the public.  Books will be available for purchase. For information:
