Reviews

Although there are dozens of research-based books on motivation among children and youth (especially the lack of it), none captures the essence of the phenomenon as accurately and practically as this one does. It's proactive - preventative rather than reactive - and enlightening. It should required reading for aspiring teachers and veteran educators alike, and is beneficial for anyone who works with young people. Chris Holmes, Former Missouri Teacher of the Year (2015)
