  Great presentation visually, although the content is nothing new; the big issue is a majority of managers and businesses will never fully understand motivation and how to harness it - too bad as we tend to stifle a tremendous amount of potential.

  Nothing new here...these concepts are at the very foundation of the non-profit world. Unfortunately, many non-profits are unable to effectively "take money out of the equation" so those who have the day-to-day joy of working in relative autonomy on creative projects also find themselves earning barely enough to get by. I suppose this is further proof of Pink's hypothesis, though...

  Also, if you haven't been to a D. Pink talk - go to one, you'll enjoy the presentation and probably the content too. I did. :)

  Rewards and affluence are not just 1 dimensional, namely monetary wealth.

  If you liked this, check out the Wired article where Daniel Pink and Clay Shirky interview each other. Pink's views on motivation in the workplace and Shirky's thoughts on technology moving from self indulgence to generosity, combine into a thought provoking conversation ranging from Gilligan's Island to Wikipedia.

  Interesting how you get socialist part wrong.
  
  When you mention "self directed" that's exactly the opposite of socialism which is centrally directed. The fact that people aren't self directed in socialist systems is one of the biggest reasons they fail. Freedom from having to worry about money and freedom to master what you want to do is key here.
