The Motivation Code

I love a good personality assessment! This book is a wonderful companion to the assessment – take the assessment first at motivationcode.com.

I think the real difference with Motivation Code and other assessments is that it's not highlighting how you're wired (emotionally, behaviorally, etc) so much as what drives you motivationally. It's left me with some great food for thought.

This book was not for me. Yet another book that focuses on productivity but keeps the aim to those in 9-5 jobs. If you are an entrepreneur or freelancer this book doesn't help you out nearly as much.

I took the free assessment and basically it told me things that my horoscope has told me for years and far less than my Human Design coaches. FAR LESS.

I think that this book could be good for someone that hasn't done hardly any self-development or for managers trying to produce better results from their team. And for those that are not open to broader areas like Astrology, Numerology, Enneagram, and Human Design for charts.

If you do already have any of those charts, especially if you have your Enneagram or Human Design, don't buy the book. It will not tell you anything new.

I do wonder if this gives enough actionable steps for everyday folks to follow-through on. Because as someone that only got Key Contributor traits on the assessment it felt very light on advice on how to use that information. Especially if you are not in a job that matches your motivations!
