The author of a new book talks about the importance of motivation. She says it's important to look back at your progress rather than just what you've done so far. Progress increases motivation, and can be harnessed in different ways. The best way to stay motivated is to see how far you have come over time.
University of Chicago professor Ayelet Fishbach has spent the last two decades studying the science of motivation. She has developed a framework for turning idle ambition into forward-moving action. That framework is the subject of her new book, “Get It Done,” which our curators chose as one of the best non-fiction titles of the year. Today, one of those curators, Daniel Pink, chats with Ayelet about sure-fire techniques you can use to achieve your goals.
