Beschreibung

Highway Creation examines the transformative impact of the Interstate Highway System on American society and its economy. This book explores how the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 spurred unprecedented mobility and economic development. It reveals that prior to this system, a fragmented network of poorly maintained roads hindered both interstate commerce and personal travel, underscoring the vital role of infrastructure in shaping a nation's trajectory.

 
The book delves into the historical context, economic transformations, and social consequences of highway creation, illustrating how this massive undertaking reshaped urban planning, spurred suburbanization, and influenced commuting patterns. It emphasizes that the Interstate Highway System was more than just a construction project; it acted as a catalyst for economic growth and societal change.

 
Each chapter builds upon the last, beginning with the political climate leading to the 1956 Act, then moving to the economic impacts, and finally assessing the long-term social consequences. Highway Creation offers a comprehensive understanding of a pivotal moment in American history by integrating economic data, historical records, and case studies. By connecting to fields such as urban planning and political science, the book provides valuable insights for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in the forces that have shaped modern America, addressing the lasting legacy of the Interstate Highway System and its relevance to modern transportation needs.

    Intrinsic motivation—doing a thing for its inherent satisfaction rather than external rewards—is the key to success and satisfaction in any endeavor. A legendary performance coach shares his simple, proven, and fun methods for cultivating and keeping it.To be productive and optimistic about our personal and professional lives, we want to feel that we can understand and influence what is happening around us today, and that we have a reliable insight into what will happen tomorrow. We also require a rich, supportive, and secure social life. As more of us work remotely and the frequency of our in-person contact decreases, this desire for connection and trust has only become more important; the social drive is so strong that our body temperature drops when we feel excluded.To satisfy our psychological needs in today’s professional world, we must pursue them consciously and purposefully—but unfortunately, most of us don't know how to do so effectively. Instead, we waste our time on ineffective coping strategies that often make us feel even worse. The true solution to becoming happier, healthier, and more productive is to become intrinsically motivated: To stop wasting time on activities that don’t really contribute to our careers or our company’s success, eschew the dog-eat-dog culture of modern business, and find ways to take pleasure in what we do—and to do it well.Intrinsic Motivation by Stefan Falk is a comprehensive guide to achieving this goal. Filled with methods and techniques he developed at McKinsey & Company and through 25 years as a senior executive and performance coach working with elite athletes, top executives, special operators in the armed forces, and leaders from all walks of life, this audiobook will revolutionize your approach to success at work and beyond.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
