Delivering Happiness
Tony Hsieh
The problem with making an extrinsic reward the only destination that matters is that some people will choose the quickest route there, even if it means taking the low road.

This is not a psychological problem; it comes from the main property of information. The dark side of the moon is harder to see; beaming light on it costs energy.
