"Motivation in medical education book" guides those who work in the field of education in general and medical educators in particular about types and theories of motivation and how to spire their students. With the emphasis on throughout simplicity, this book is invaluable to all educators who will surely benefit from refreshment of their knowledge and practice. We attempted in this book to cover the majority of motivational theories that included extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, Maslow´s theory, ARMS theory, Herzberg´s theory, self determination theory, social cognition theory, etc. Does motivation have any effect on the formulation of the curricula and on the academic performance of students? These questions are presented in two chapters, and the whole issues in the book are summarized in a separate one. At the end of the book, some tips and advice for better motivation are touched. These easy -to-access structure and outstanding rich theoretical and philosophical contents ensure that this book is more than ideal point-of-care tool and is truly essential reading for all members of the education family including those interested in medical education.
