Forty years after motivational theories were embraced by academics, people still want to become more motivated, yet motivation is lacking in many people today. This means that people are still sabotaging and limiting themselves when it comes to the things that are most important in their lives. In Mastering Self-Motivation, Michael Provitera provides helpful suggestions, guidelines to follow, explanations on what you need to do today to begin living a better tomorrow, and offers inspirational stories coupled with solutions that can empower you to achieve personal excellence. Provitera is a motivational and organizational behavior expert and management consultant to corporate clients. In 2013, he gave a motivational keynote presentation at Barry University in Miami Florida in which he described how people unintentionally hold themselves back in their lives. He encourages people to be the front runner in everything they do by showing how geese fly in the V-format and are able to soar with 70 percent less effort than flying solo, to seek a better life for themselves, to take calculated risks in a word he coined “Motrapreneur,” and pursue their career of choice with passion and courage. In Mastering Self-Motivation, Provitera shows how you can bounce back if you face obstacles, combining popular motivational concepts, tried-and-true application to day-to-day tasks, and compelling research to present what really matters when it comes to motivating oneself for personal excellence. He combines the most powerful concepts ever derived from motivational scholars and guru’s alike, and shows people how to spend more time working on themselves to become more knowledgeable and make the right choices at the right time and in the right place. He provides practical advice on motivational techniques, reinventing oneself, making changes, and building a satisfying career, urging people to spend as much time as possible with family and friends. He describes specific steps people can take to combine professional growth and development with happiness to tap into their own unique motivational fingerprint to turn their dreams into reality.Written to be an enlightening and inspiring book, Provitera’s book is a compelling call to action and provides a roadmap for your life journey. Mastering Self-Motivation is one of the most important books you can read for creating the success that you are destined for in your lifetime.

I almost get lost reading it. It looks like a collection of articles or concepts not necessarily linked to each other. it's confusing and not very logical.

How to Master Self-Motivation

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2022

Love this book! My first admin class was with Dr. Provitera at BarryU. His motivational videos were inspiring and motivational. As the course went on I found out he had books he published. As I made my way to Amazon, I found this one that automatically caught my attention since I am all about self-motivation and becoming a better me. This book has a lot of helpful techniques and insights that you can adapt to your day to day life. Also real life examples that you can relate to.

Improving Self-Motivation

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2011

Although this is a small book, it is powerful in that Dr. Provitera has capsulized for the reader important information available in the field of self-motivation. He provides 28 pages of Endnotes of other authors who have analyzed and summarized systems for personal success. This book would particularly benefit young adults, students of institutions of higher learning or those who have been in the work force for several years and desire to improve their occupational or vocational status. In addition, Dr. Provitera provides a workbook at no extra charge to go with his manual, which he believes will help the reader understand his concepts more fully. He also invites readers to contact him regarding three questions he poses at the end of Chapter Eight. Perusing his website [....] provides more fully his background and most of the media tools available for self-promotion.

This reviewer heard CEOs speak the other day on Book Events and with such a lack of jobs available for new and even old employees, the main asset they look for in new employees, and especially degreed ones, is the ability to jump beyond the job requirements and improve it based on their own initiative. In other words, how can an employee make the job more efficient in the same amount of hours for the same cost? This manual helps an employee understand how to meet such standards. I recommend this book especially for individuals who are seeking new insights in the areas that are covered.

Wishful Thinking

A Very Positive Resource for Self-Exploration and Motivation

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2018

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book on self-motivation as I am at a cross-roads in my own life regarding my own life's goals and how best to achieve them. The author has nicely combined his experience in corporate and university settings to create a foundation for how to motivate others towards excellence. I greatly appreciated the end notes that allowed me to further explore some of the many pieces of literature Dr. Provitera researched in writing this very positive book on how to "get off the couch," if you will," and get on with the business of creating the life you had always imagined for yourself. Finally, it was very nice to read the thoughtful dedication this husband and father shared at the beginning of this highly positive read.

This book, Mastering Self-Motivation, is one of the most practical guides ever published in field. This book is a classic from one of the masters. I whole-heartedly recommend this book to the academic, the student, and anyone searching for the elemental secrets of success. Dr. Provitera has combined extensive scholarly research with clear, crisp writing that will truly inspire you. The direct and colorful style of instruction in this book as well its deeply substantive content makes it a lot of fun to read. Dr. Provitera makes learning about how to succeed in business and life a highly inspiring and rewarding guide to success. The author even provides you with a free online workbook to help you hone the skills you learn. If everyone would read this book, there would be a lot more smiling working people in the world. Great book. It is well worth the money. You will go back to it again and again for inspiration.
