Quick Overview

There's a drawing competition in school. Everyone is super focused on making sure they WIN the competition. A lot of us think that healthy competition is required for growth. In a competitive world, we are told that it isn’t enough to be good at something - we must TRIUMPH OVER OTHERS. Social Scientist Alfie Kohn says that competition itself — which simply means requiring one person or group to fail in order that another can succeed — is inherently counterproductive. This book aims to show that doing something because we love doing it is a much better approach than doing it solely to WIN.
