3 quotes from Punished by Rewards

  • 'The more we reward people for doing something, the more likely they are to get hooked on the reward and lose interest in the activity itself.'
  • 'When we use rewards to manipulate behavior, we are actually undermining intrinsic motivation and the natural joy of learning.'
  • 'True engagement and commitment come not from carrots and sticks, but from autonomy, mastery, and purpose.'

Author : Alfie Kohn

The author of this book, Alfie Kohn, is said by Fortune to be America's most biting critic of money as a motivator. Kohn analyzed and summarized hundreds of studies and used strong experimental evidence to put forth the argument that rewards actually impair people's internal motivators and make people behave worse. Kohn complained of the long-term harm of rewards to people and teaches people to use the three factors of incentives to truly stimulate their internal motivators.
