These little gems set the stage for the more meaty content.While the first few chapters set the stage, the overall book is decidedly not anecdotal. Aside from the fact that WMM is based on an 850k person study, the book contains several chapters on what Gostick and Elton term "Job Sculpting" with worksheets in the actual book that will walk you through your own Job Sculpting process.Job SculptJob Sculpting addresses questions often posed such as, "Should I quit my job just because there are aspects of it that I dislike?" "As a manager, I know my team members struggle to be motivated with certain aspects of their work, how do I keep them going?" Job Sculpting is a smart approach to what otherwise might seem like a dead-end situation. "I quit" might be the answer for some, but overwhelmingly, Job Sculpting can transform a painful situation to something much more desirable—a better outcome for both the employee and the company.In the final chapters, What Motivates Me breaks the 23 Motivators into 5 different categories termed Identities. I like the approach Gostick and Elton take here: Each Motivator is discussed, then an in-depth look at the Identities is presented. It clearly defines the Identity and which Motivators it contains, outlines it's characteristics, shows where one might thrive, and ends with solid strategies for how one might add value, and pitfalls they might fall into.What Motivates Me is an excellent professional mirror. It's a fun and easy read that contains fascinating insights while also being actionable. It'll help you feel good about your own personal strengths and sculpt your job into something you can really, well, be motivated by.Everyone has their strengths, and that's a good thing. A quote by Dr. Steven Reiss (pg 17) sums it up nicely. "Individuals differ enormously in what makes them happy—for some, competition, winning, and wealth are the greatest source of happiness, but for others feeling competent and socializing may be more satisfying. You can't say some motivators, like money, are inherently inferior."Amen, Dr. Reiss. I couldn't have put it better myself.----Bonus: Each book also contains a code to take your own test to determine what motivates you. It's a breeze to take. Afterward it presents you with your own personal in-depth report. Pretty amazing stuff. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What Motivates Me is a refreshing look into strengths and ... *by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2015* What Motivates Me is a refreshing look into strengths and leadership qualities necessary for individuals to bring into the work place. I have actively participated in various personality assessments in the past but the emphasis the authors place on professional motivators to positively influence peoples satisfaction in the work place is unique. The book is engaging to read, insightful and thought provoking, all of which encouraged me to take the online Motivators Assessment. My results were enlightening and affirming of what I have been experiencing in my career path and my struggle for fulfillment in my current role. The book does not simply stop with the assessment but rather provides meaning discussion and suggestions as to avenues to pursue for greater satisfaction in our chosen career path. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Changes what it means to find the "right job for me" *by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014* I have read all of Adrian Gostick's and Chester Elton's books, and this is simply their best work ever, which is a high bar given their past contributions. This book changes what it means to find the "right job for me." Too many books focus on the "follow your passions" theme without 1) helping readers really understand what motivates them, and 2) providing them with the tools necessary to succeed. What Motivates Me does precisely that. It provides a valid assessment (based upon 850,000 interviews) that readers can use right now to really understand their motivations, and job-sculpting strategies to help leverage those motivations. The ideas and tools introduced in this book will be relevant not just for today, but for decades. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8034258-what-motivates-me-put-your-passions-to-work](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/8034258-what-motivates-me-put-your-passions-to-work) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
