An extraordinary guide for using the secrets of motivation to help everyone in your organization love what they do.

In his groundbreaking book Alive at Work, psychologist Dan Cable offered leaders a fascinating peek into the neuroscience of motivation and offered them the tools to help employees love what they do.

Now, with Totally Alive, Wardley and his coauthor, Dan Cable, kick it up a notch: How do you scale happiness, enthusiasm, and engagement across a team, a department, and an entire organization? This capability is increasingly important as companies look to grow, respond to crises, and transform their businesses. To rise to these challenges, employees need to be agile, caring, and purpose-driven.

Using cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology, Wardley and Cable offer a three-part framework for building teams of agile, adaptable, curious, and highly motivated people. This includes:

  • Reset: Reduce the threat response by creating a safe environment for employees
  • Ignite: Create events or experiences that create flashes of insight and motivation
  • Fuel: Sustain people's motivation through repeatable actions, which will eventually result in new habits

Packed with fascinating research, on-the-ground stories, and new scientific findings&#8212along with tools, assessments, and exercises-Totally Alive is the guide you need to build an exceptional organization, full of people who are motivated to perform at their very best.
