This is an easily digestible primer on the science of motivation and how to effectively use it to one’s advantage, either with oneself or as a manager. SPOILER: Don’t confuse this with a guide to manipulation, the key to success is to make things truly meaningful for the individual. The old “What’s in it for me?” tactic.

The ideas are thought provoking and well-defended but there is such a sense of arrogance from the author that it is hard to enjoy the work. I felt myself almost wishing someone would come along and poke holes throughout his whole argument.

A detailed look at the life and death of the man who wrote the soundtrack for Labor. The author does a great job of laying out the story of Joe Hill almost as a flashback to show the chain of events that landed him in jail. He sandwiches the life between the specifics of the end. A good history of the man and the movement he championed.

While described as a collection of essays (and poetry), it’s more like blog posts from the author’s website. Perhaps that snobbery on my part and those two are one and the same anymore. Kohout’s writing is honest and accessible, and her topics are varied yet interwoven. A lot of her stances and views on nature and conservation feel fairly privileged, but it made me think that the time and freedom to ponder such things is fairly privileged. As with many things, it is incumbent upon those with the means to drive the conversation of conversation. Am I doing enough? What else could I be doing? I have the ability and opportunity to explore options that many people do not to conserve or serve a greater good. Do I make the most of it? A great read to start the year.
