What Makes You Feel Good About Your Work? [Video]

It’s not money that motivates us to do the work we do, says behavioral economist Dan Ariely in his talk from TEDxRiodelaPlata 2012.

And it’s not joy.

We need meaning in what we do to stay motivated. We

thrive by making constant progress and feeling a sense of purpose.

Adding motivation isn’t difficult, but removing motivations can be remarkably easy.

I loved watching the video and hearing about the outcomes from the LEGOs, shredder, and origami experiments.

The video is 20 minutes long, hope you enjoy it, too!
