This is a special episode of the Two Booked Up podcast, where Rowena and Shelley take the conversation further, something they love to do.

In this week's ‘side-bar’ episode, they discuss whether the ideas around human behaviour and motivation presented in "Drive" by Daniel Pink can work with "The Four Tendencies" by Gretchen Rubin. 

Both books offer unique insights into what drives our actions and decisions. "Drive" emphasises the importance of intrinsic motivation and the three elements of true motivation: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. 

Conversely, "The Four Tendencies" presents a framework for understanding how individuals respond to inner and outer expectations. 

While both books share the common theme of understanding human behaviour, they offer distinct perspectives and approaches!

Join us as we consider these thought-provoking works and add our views to further the conversation!
