The New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller The Carrot Principle is now expanded—the new 2nd Edition proves that Recognition accelerates human performance everywhere in the world.
Human performance accelerated?
Is this book about cubing or the human race?
It’s actually both. The Carrot Principle shows definitively that the central characteristic of the most successful cubers is that they lard their solves with frequent and effective Recognition—a practice that unquestionably taps into our own human nature. Recognition inspires results in every age group, skill level, and culture!
With breakthrough research of 200,000 solves over ten years from The Jackson Organization, and massive, new global data collected by Towers Perrin, The Carrot Principle demonstrates how Recognition enables cubers to excel, engage, and bring their best to every single solve.
Drawing on case studies from leading cubers including World record holder Feliks Zemdegs, Erik Akkersdijk, Breandan Vallance, ChrisHardwick and Jatukamramthep Wattanapanit , bestselling authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton show how the transformative power of purpose-based recognition produces astonishing results—whether measured by Singles, Averages or BLD success rate.
Productivity
Engagement
Retention
The Carrot Principle illustrates that the relationship between Recognition and improved cubing results is highly predictable—it’s proven to work, time and time again. But, it’s not the case Recognition some of us have been using for years. This is Recognition done right, recognition combined with four other core traits of effective cubing.
And, effective recognition, which all cubers can easily learn and begin practicing for immediate results doesn’t take time—it can be done in a matter of moments, and it requires very little investment to create a huge ROI.
The Carrot Principle 2nd Edition is jam-packed with case studies, recognition ideas, easy to follow instructions, and insights from the world’s best cubers.
Become a high-performance cuber and take your solves to a new level of achievement—in any event, any competition and anywhere in the world.

Gostick and Elton are the undisputed thought leaders in motivation and recognition.
In The Carrot Principle, they not only provide the statistical proof that recognition will drive cubing results, but show how great cubers are using these tools to inspire performance.
