Description

16 Desires — Discover What Drives You

What drives people to do what they do?

Power. Romance. Curiosity. Independence. Tranquility. These are just five of the 16 fundamental human desires identified by psychologist Steven Reiss.

16 Desires turns the psychology of motivation into a beautifully illustrated, hands-on exploration.

Sort and rank the cards to discover what drives you. Compare your desires with friends, partners, or family. Discover what you share, where you differ, and why people can see the same world so differently.

But don't stop with individuals. Explore the motivations of animals, fictional characters, groups, organizations, and entire cultures. What does a company want? What drives a political movement? Which desires shape a society?

Each Art Deco-inspired card illustrates a fundamental desire, its everyday expressions, and its opposing tendencies.

18 cards total: 16 desire cards plus 2 flavor cards.

No complicated rules. Just a new way to examine the motivations behind behavior. Find yourself and others by working their motivations.

Discover what drives you—and everything around you.
