We dangle goodies (from candy bars to sales commissions) in front of people in the same way that we train the family pet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince its publication in 1993, this groundbreaking book has persuaded countless parents, teachers, and managers that attempts to manipulate people with incentives may seem to work in the short run, but they ultimately fail and even do lasting harm. 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\u003cbr\u003ePromising 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\u003cbr\u003eRewards 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeasoned with humor and familiar examples, \u003cem\u003ePunished by Rewards \u003c\/em\u003epresents an argument that is unsettling to hear but impossible to dismiss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-188428\"\u003eAlfie Kohn\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperOne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781328450524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 132845052X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FAM\"\u003eFamily \u0026amp; Relationships\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FAM034000\"\u003eParenting | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PSY\"\u003ePsychology\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PSY012000\"\u003eEducation, Training \u0026amp; Supervision\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SEL\"\u003eSelf-Help\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SEL021000\"\u003eMotivational \u0026amp; Inspirational\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eALFIE KOHN's books include \u003ci\u003eNo Contest: The Case Against Competition\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBeyond Discipline.\u003c\/i\u003e Described by \u003ci\u003eTime \u003c\/i\u003eas \"perhaps the country's most outspoken critic of educational fixation on grades and test scores,\" he has traveled across the country delivering lectures to teachers, parents, and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperOne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46011816214703,"sku":"9781328450524","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_18950d6c-b2bc-4be6-bbe1-934507fb6886.jpg?v=1761661993","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/es\/products\/punished-by-rewards-the-trouble-with-gold-stars-incentive-plans-as-praise-and-other-bribes-9781328450524","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
