Zwei Professoren der Harvard Business School fassen hier die Gedanken der letzten 200 Jahre sowie die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse zusammen, um eine ganz neue Theorie über das Wesen des Menschen aufzustellen. Sie veranlassen den Leser, vier voneinander getrennte und verschiedenen emotionale Triebe zu untersuchen, die sein Verhalten lenken und seine Entscheidungen beeinflussen - nämlich den Erwerbstrieb, den Bindungstrieb, den Lerntrieb und den Schutztrieb. Dabei konzentrieren die Professoren ihre Studien auf den wohl faszinierendsten Schauplatz menschlichen Verhaltens - den Arbeitsplatz. Durch die Kombination von Bio- und Sozialwissenschaften wird viel Aufschlussreiches und Interessantes über das menschliche Verhalten zu Tage gefördert. So, wie der technologische Fortschritt wesentlich für das 20 Jahrhundert war, so werden - nach Meinung der Autoren - die Fortschritte der Biowissenschaften ma geblich für das 21. Jahrhundert sein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat universal characteristics make us human? Are there biological drives that motivate us as human beings? Why do we choose to do what we do?\u003cbr\u003e At last we have the answers to these and other timeless questions about human nature.\u003cbr\u003e In this groundbreaking book, Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria, two Harvard-based researchers, take a multidisciplinary approach that bridges the gap between the latest findings from evolutionary biology and insights about human behavior derived from social science. Driven compellingly sets forth the authors' scientific theory for understanding human nature and behavior.\u003cbr\u003e Lawrence and Nohria conclude that the way we act is a result of the conscious choices we make. These deliberate choices are fueled by the internal battle constantly raging among our four innate, subconscious, brain-based drives: \u003cbr\u003e The drive to acquire objects and experiences that improve our status relative to others\u003cbr\u003e The drive to bond with others in long-term relationships of mutual care and commitment\u003cbr\u003e The drive to learn and make sense of the world and of ourselves\u003cbr\u003e The drive to defend ourselves, our loved ones, our beliefs, and our resources from harm.\u003cbr\u003e Driven offers a workable model to help make sense of the human experience-- at the dinner table, the card table and the conference table-- and reveals the common heritage of humans, no matter how diverse our cultural or social backgrounds.\u003cbr\u003e The authors-- knowing that humans will always be contentious and never reach the idealized goal of total balance and agreement-- urge us to attend to the well-being of our souls. If we attempt to balance our four drives, we can find the way forward to the next stage of our evolution as human beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarwin with an MBA.. -- Terry Burnham, coauthor, Mean Genes\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What Drives You?\u003cbr\u003e The Drive to Acquire?\u003cbr\u003e The Drive to Bond?\u003cbr\u003e The Drive to Learn?\u003cbr\u003e The Drive to Defend?\u003cbr\u003e Learn what two Harvard researchers-- Paul Lawrence and Nitin Nohria-have discovered about what drives us to make the choices we make.
