Title of Book on Motivation

I just spent an hour unsuccessfully googling (including this site) for the title of a book that I think was referenced here a month or so ago. 

It was a compendium of psychological studies in motivation.  I believe it highlighted people's need for choice, challenge, control in their lives. 

Any idea what this title is?  I'd like to buy it.

"Punished by rewards: The problem with A's, Praise, Gold Stars" and something else.  By Alfie Kohn?

Probably not the right book, but it's got overlap ...

What's the problem with gold stars?  Does it have to do with the bar of perfection being too low?

Read the book and you'll find out.  (I'm about halfway through, and it's excellent.  The books' arguments aren't just idle musing, either; he backs them up with real-life studies.)
