This is a very readable book which explains complex theories in an amusing and 'down to earth' way. I would recommend this book not only for personal use, but also, as a source for University students as an introduction to the theories of motivation.

"Energise: The Secrets Of Motivation" by West and West (2019) is such a fantastic book for developing a beginners understanding of the role of motivation in explaining and predicting people's everyday behaviours. The conversation style format of the book and the considered use of layman terms to describe key concepts is genius! A truly delightful read.

Being able to motivate and inspire others to change is an essential element of almost all healthcare and public health professionals. Energise: The Secrets of Motivation presents the underlying science and theories of motivation in a practical, applied, and easy to understand format. The book, written as a conversation between Robert West (motivation expert) and his grown son (a musician) uses humour and storytelling to convey complex concepts in an interesting and compelling way.
This is an absolute must-read for all healthcare and public health professions and especially for any responsible for leading change.
