But that nature is now being revealed and expressed on a scale that is demographically unprecedented and, until recently, scarcely imaginable. The consequences could rejuvenate our businesses and remake our world.””Part 3 The Type I ToolkitType I for Individuals: Nine Strategies for Awakening Your Motivation 153Type I for Organizations: Nine Ways to Improve Your Company, Office, or Group 162The Zen of Compensation: Paying People the Type I Way 170Type I for Parents and Educators: Nine Ideas for Helping Our Kids 174The Type I Reading List: Fifteen Essential Books 185Listen to the Gurus: Six Business Thinkers Who Get It 195The Type I Fitness Plan: Four Tips for Getting (and Staying) Motivated to Exercise 201Drive: The Recap 203Drive: The Glossary 209The Drive Discussion Guide: Twenty Conversation Starters to Keep You Thinking and Talking 212Find Out More-About Yourself and This Topic 217Acknowledgments 219Notes 221Index 231
