Excerpt from Book

When you're in an ideal situation, your drivers cause you to engage in behaviors without putting much thought into it, and things turn out just fine. They come naturally to you, and importantly, they are self-reinforcing . In other words, you receive some kind of psychological benefit simply by engaging in that particular behavior. You engage in behavior "X" and find it to be enjoyable, relatively intuitive, and/or that it delivers other desired results. It feels good to do things aligned with your drivers. It isn't "work," it's drive . Ultimately, drivers are those things that make you feel "driven." And just as you innately seek out the things that will give you that feeling of "drive," you'll avoid the things that seem likely to take it away. You avoid the behaviors and patterns of thinking that that don't feel right or make sense to you, that seem needlessly difficult, and/or that you just don't like, because being in those situations drains your energy. Again, in an ideal situation, you can get away with this. No one faults a painter for an aversion to financial details, just as no one faults the tax auditor for a lack of artistic creativity. However, situations are not always ideal. Occasionally, we encounter situations where we are forced to deal with those things contrary to our drivers. These things require extra effort, willpower, and attention, because they are misaligned with our drivers . We can deal with them, but after the fact, it feels like you have been "drained" of all your energy and willpower. The more and more you are forced to go against the grain of your natural drivers, the less and less willpower you will have to keep up the charade. If you've ever bit your tongue for what seemed like forever in an argument - only to either pop off or simply give up and walk away - you've experienced "drain" firsthand. This is the "reason" behind why we do what we do - we seek to experience the feeling of drive, and avoid the feeling of drain.
