Book Review: Punished by Rewards

A few weeks ago, I read a book called ' Punished by Rewards ' and wrote a detailed review on it. I hadn't thought of posting it here back then, but just this afternoon, I was studying about motivation for my A level psychology exam and could not help but notice the stark contrast between the perspective in my textbook and that of this book. Anyway, I closed my textbook, reread this review, and decided to post it here because the world needs to know more about this. I would love to hear your comments and feedback about this, so you can leave them below if you wish. I studied the book quite thoroughly (and wrote loads of notes on it) so if you have any questions, feel free to leave them below and I'll try my best to answer them. Here's the review now. Title: Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A’s, Praise and Other Bribes Written by: Alfie Kohn - American author and lecturer in the areas of education, parenting, and human behaviour.
