This book is imformative. However, it needs to go more into detail...theories and what some philosophers believe that causes the person's different behavior and mood stages per-say. But it help in my class and doing my research on the internet helped as well (got an A)

I got this as a college book required for a class and it turns out to be very well written, easily understood, and surprisingly easy to read. It covers all past and present theories of motivation and the final two chapters deal with emotions, because emotions are still difficult to explain even by professionals. Overall, a good buy.

This text is quite well written, very easily read and applied.
The format is easy on the eyes and explanations of motivation are easily understood in the context of psychological, biological and environmental motivation.

I am surprised by "K. Pring"'s review. This book is well written? It is very much the opposite. Deckers defines the same words in many different ways in separate chapters. His definitions and examples suffer from extreme tautology, and the book shows a clear bias for evolutionary / behavioral psychology. The same ideas, phrases and sometimes sentences are repeated exhaustively. The only concise writing is in the chapter summaries. He makes assumptions without evidence. We have had to read the whole book except one chapter, and so far it is very disappointing. One of the worst textbooks I have had.

First, I'd like to ask Amazon why they always send me a second request to review products I've purchased. I have already reviewed this product once at Amazon's request. In any event, I am very happy with the textbook I purchased. It was labeled as 'used,' yet it arrived quickly and it was in pristine condition. I'm very pleased about that for a book that was supposed to have been used. It was like brand new.
I would definitely use this bookseller again.

The timely delivery of this text book saved me from having to download and print this book for class. This book was great at defining the many motivating factors in ones life and how they are put into action.

Book arrived on time and was as promised in excellent condition.
This was a book for college course. Saved money by not having to
buy it through campus bookstore.

The condition of the book was good. It was very helpful in class. The book has information, theories and models that can be applied to the course which I am taking. The price of the book was high, which is the norm for all academic books.

I would love to leave a review for this product but unfortunately I have not received it and am getting the run around about how long it takes via USPS from the seller. I would recommend that you have at least 2 month before you need the product before you consider buying from an AMAZON seller.

My book was in almost perfect condition at 1/3 the price. It arrived on time and the seller even sent me a message when she mailed it out. I'll be back to this seller again!!!
