Awesome textbook  June 15, 2011
by H. Landrum


Motivation provides an overarching organizational scheme of how motivation the inducement of action, feelings, and thought leads to behavior from physiological, psychological, and environmental sources. The material draws on topics that are familiar to students while maintaining a conversational tone to sustain student interest. This textbook was great at defining the many motivating factors in one's life and how they are put into action. Highly recommended.
