What top educators have said about Release Your Inner Drive

“Release Your Inner Drive is an excellent guide to understanding how to improve.” – Mary Myatt, education writer, speaker, founder of Myatt & Co

“By using a lot of the techniques in this book I have become a more successful person… The techniques are simple but they have had a massive impact, it’s almost hard to believe.” – Jordanne Whiley, MBE, winner of 9 Grand Slam tennis tournaments and Paralympic medalist

“This advice is evidence-based and has been distilled from high-quality research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. I have never come across a clearer explanation for students of how to handle the complexities of motivation, mindset and performance.” – Jonnie Noakes, Head of Teaching and Learning at Eton College

“Seductively readable and yet also impressively evidence-based, this beautifully produced book represents an exceptional distillation of research around motivation. It’s a tough art to keep the message simple without straying into the simplistic badlands, or risk patronising a hyper-vigilant teenaged audience, and the authors carry this off remarkably well. Time-starved teachers will find much classroom-ready material to use here too.” – Dr Barry Hymer, Emeritus Professor of Psychology in Education, University of Cumbria
