Punished By Rewards by Alfie Kohn is a well known work of social criticism and applied psychology that challenges one of the most common assumptions in education, parenting, and management. First published in the early 1990s and later reissued in an anniversary edition, the book argues that rewards are not a benign or effective way to motivate people. Kohn examines grades, praise, incentive plans, bonuses, gold stars, and similar systems, contending that they function as tools of control rather than supports for genuine growth. His central claim is that rewards may secure short term compliance, but they often weaken intrinsic motivation, reduce creativity, and shift attention away from meaningful learning or ethical commitment. Drawing on research and examples from schools, workplaces, and family life, Kohn builds a broad critique of carrot and stick thinking. The book belongs to the tradition of critical works on motivation, but it is also a practical challenge to everyday habits that many people treat as common sense.
