Deci, who challenges traditional thinking and shows that this method actually works against performance.

In the 1970s, Americans rediscovered rural areas and, in increasing numbers, took up residence there. Many people, it seems, want to be where earlier generations wanted to be from. With the repopulation of rural areas, the diversity and distinctiveness of an earlier rural America is fading. Broad outlines will remain, but many details will disappear. This book records and interprets that detail as it has been served by Calvin L. Beale, chief demographer of the U.S. Department of Agriculture since the late 1950s.

Beale has devoted his professional career--and also much of his spare...

The past three decades of research on human motivation have presented theories of cognitive decision-making that fail to account for numerous behavioral paradoxes such as the disproportional rise in motivation following the reduction in anxiety.
