Motivation

Motivation/Avoiding Burnout

Discussion Questions

Intrinsic motivation refers to motivation that comes from inside an individual rather than from any external or outside rewards, such as money or grades. The motivation comes from the pleasure one gets from the task itself or from the sense of satisfaction in completing or even working on a task.
The Candle Problem


Daniel Pink, author of Drive, on the power of intrinsic motivation
