Alfie Kohn's book, "Punished by Rewards," offers a fresh perspective on motivation, challenging the widespread belief that rewards are effective tools for behavior change. Kohn delves into the potential negative consequences of relying on rewards, arguing that they undermine intrinsic motivation and hinder long-term growth. Supported by research and real-life examples, the book prompts readers to critically evaluate the impact of rewards on autonomy, creativity, and overall satisfaction.
