Daniel pinks book talks about removing the the meaningless fluffy stuff. A man rewarded kids for doing some thing they killed to do, playing in his yard.

Researchers awarded the kids for playing with markers. When brought back a week later, the kids that were rewarded were lesss likely to play with the markers than the kids (cid:449)ho (cid:449)ere(cid:374)"t re(cid:449)arded last (cid:449)eek.
