Overview

PEAK: Unlocking Human Motivation by Professor Dr. Joseph Rodriguez offers a groundbreaking framework for understanding what truly drives people to act, grow, and transform. For decades, motivation has been framed in terms of rewards, punishments, or fleeting incentives. But Joseph drawing on his rich background as a psychologist, kinesiologist, coach, martial artist, and philosopher, reimagines motivation as a spectrum that leads to the highest state of human potential. His PEAK model organizes motivators in order of power and effectiveness: Pressure - Coercion, obligation, or fear-driven motivation that compels action but rarely sustains growth. Ego - The pull of status, pride, or recognition that fuels effort but risks burnout or emptiness. Award - External rewards, incentives, and affirmations that can inspire, yet often fade once attained. Knowing - The deepest motivator: alignment with meaning, purpose, values, and truth. Through engaging explanations, self-assessment tools, strategy profiles, and real-world applications, the book provides a practical guide for coaches, educators, parents, leaders, and anyone seeking to inspire lasting motivation in themselves or others. Readers are invited to discover their dominant motivators, navigate mixed motivations, and learn how to ascend toward ""Knowing,"" where action becomes effortless because it flows from clarity and purpose. Part workshop, part philosophy, and part field guide, PEAK is more than a book, it is a journey. Like climbing a mountain, each stage of motivation has its terrain, challenges, and lessons, but the summit reveals the view that transforms everything: motivation as not something done to us, but something lived through us. Joseph's model is practical enough to use in classrooms, boardrooms, and training mats, yet profound enough to awaken a new understanding of human behavior and potential. Whether you are raising a child, coaching a team, leading a company, or seeking your own direction, PEAK gives you the tools to climb beyond rewards and rise into purpose.
