Events

Join Left Bank Books and St. Louis Business Journal for a rooftop luncheon with best-selling author and workplace visionary Daniel Pink. Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate people--at work, at school, at home. It's wrong. As Daniel H. Pink explains in his new and paradigm-shattering book Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today's world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink explores the mismatch between what science knows and what business does--and how that affects every aspect of our lives. Daniel Pink is the best-selling author of A Whole New Mind, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko, and Free Agent Nation. He provides analysis of business trends on various television networks and lectures to corporations, associations, and universities around the world on economic transformation and the new workplace. Tickets to this event are $50, available through Left Bank Books (call 314.367.6731 or stop by the store), and include lunch and a copy of Drive, which Daniel Pink will sign at the event. Please purchase tickets by January 15.
