Motivate The Unmotivated

Finally, a book that gives you applicable, implementable techniques for how to boost motivation in all areas of your life-as well as the lives of others. You know "what" you should do in order to motivate yourself and others. So why don't you do it? No one has ever systemized the "How" to what you already know you should do. This book does! To experience consistent results in ourselves and others we need to do one thing: connect actions to outcomes before they are experienced. It's the value that is recognized when this happens that drives our behaviors and ensures our continued investment in a task or project. Most unmotivated people would never say they are lazy and it turns out most simply lack awareness of the relationship between their actions and their desired ends-and sometimes, they aren't even sure what it is they value. In order to motivate the unmotivated-whether that's ourselves, others, or both-we need to strengthen the synapse between actions and outcomes. The main character of this book is you and the supporting character is anyone in your life that you would like to motivate. To make it easier we will introduce you to a character we call Unmo. We all have an Unmo in our life that we would love to see be a bit more motivated. This book was written to show you how as a "how-to" book. This is for the motivator who has someone in their life that they are looking to help. This is not for someone trying to manipulate someone to do what they want (although this system can do that). We have found that the biggest take away from the system and techniques taught in this book is how it helps in ANY relationship. This is for you're wanting or needing to motivate the following... Employee - Child - Manager - Customer - Sibling - Boss - Spouse - Team - Friend - Parent - Client - Pet (literally) The system in this book is simple and you can see it below but the power of this book is the techniques we will teach you how to Motivate the Unmotivated in a symbiotic way that takes less energy and time from you but leaves lasting results for them.

“Clinical psychologist Price offers one of the most significant books of the year in this new look at an old problem—the underperforming teenage boy… Price’s book brings an important voice to a much needed conversation.” —Library Journal (Starred review) On the surface, capable teenage boys may look lazy. But dig a little deeper, writes child psychologist Adam Price in He’s Not Lazy, and you’ll often find conflicted boys who want to do well in middle and high school but are afraid to fail, and so do not try. This book can help you become an ally with your son, as he discovers greater self-confidence and accepts responsibility for his future. Why are some teenage boys unmotivated? Why do they spend endless hours playing video games or glued to their phones and social media sites instead of studying? Is this a sign of laziness or something more troubling? As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Adam Price has found that teenage boys are extremely sensitive to the stress of our competitive achievement-oriented culture—one that has created a pressure cooker for today’s adolescent. In He’s Not Lazy, Dr. Price, a renowned expert on ADHD and learning disabilities, explains how to help a boy who is not lazy, but rather, is conflicted about trying his best. Dr. Price will guide you to discover hidden obstacles to your son’s success, set expectations, and empower him to accept responsibility for his own future. He’s Not Lazy will help you become your son’s ally, as he discovers greater self-confidence and becomes more self-reliant. Rather than reacting to pressure by shunning academic responsibilities altogether or propping up fear-based rebellion with justifications like “I am not going to be one of those nerds who have no life,” or “Tests don’t measure intelligence or help you learn, so what’s the point of studying for them?” your teenage son can work with you using the guidance in this book.

Have you noticed that the traditional methods for motivating students rarely seem to work?Stickers, merit marks, reward charts, praise assemblies, certificates etc. are used in almost every school all over the world and yet most teachers struggle to get reluctant students involved in lessons.

This volume covers the current status of research in the neurobiology of motivated behaviors in humans and other animals in healthy condition. This includes consideration of the psychological processes that drive motivated behavior and the anatomical, electrophysiological and neurochemical mechanisms which drive these processes and regulate behavioural output.

A top leadership consultant says: Stop trying to motivate people! Find a powerful alternative to the carrot and stick in this science-driven guide. It's frustrating for everyone involved and it just doesn’t work. You can’t motivate people—they are already motivated, but generally in superficial and short-term ways. In this book, Susan Fowler builds upon the latest scientific research on the nature of human motivation to lay out a tested model and course of action that will help leaders guide their people toward the kind of motivation that not only increases productivity and engagement but that gives them a profound sense of purpose and fulfillment. Fowler argues that leaders still depend on traditional carrot-and-stick techniques because they haven’t understood their alternatives and don’t know what skills are necessary to apply the new science of motivation. Her Optimal Motivation process shows leaders how to move people away from dependence on external rewards and help them discover how their jobs can meet the deeper psychological needs—for autonomy, relatedness, and competence—that science tells us result in meaningful and sustainable motivation. Optimal Motivation has been proven in organizations all over the world—Fowler’s clients include Microsoft, CVS, NASA, the Catholic Leadership Institute, H&R Block, Mattel, and dozens more. Throughout this book, she illustrates how each step of the process works using real-life examples—and offers a groundbreaking answer for leaders who want to get motivation right!
