Drawing from hundreds of studies, Kohn demonstrates that we actually do inferior work when we are enticed with money, grades, or other incentives—and are apt to lose interest in whatever we were bribed to do.\u003cbr\u003e             Promising goodies to children for good behavior, meanwhile, can never produce anything more than temporary obedience. Even praise can become a verbal bribe that gets kids hooked on our approval.\u003cbr\u003e             Rewards and punishments are two sides of the same coin—and the coin doesn’t buy much. What is needed, Kohn explains, is an alternative to both ways of controlling people. Hence, he offers practical strategies for parents, teachers, and managers to replace carrots and sticks. Seasoned with humor and familiar examples, \u003ci\u003ePunished by Rewards\u003c\/i\u003e presents an argument that is unsettling to hear but impossible to dismiss.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57320294285694,"sku":"NW9781328450524","price":14.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781328450524.jpg?v=1778576229","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/punished-by-rewards-25th-anniversary-edt","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
