Get Motivated with Dan Pink
Dan Pink has deeply influenced the way we think about work and the way I think about Great Work. His first book, Free Agent Nation, spoke to the growing trend of people leaving organizations and finding their own way. His next book, A Whole New Mind pointed to core drivers on why the world of work is changing and can no longer rely on just efficiency and process. He then wrote and designed a manga comic, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko – a somewhat unrecognized gem on the six secrets for meaning and impact at work.

- Two things that have freed Dan to do his own Great Work
