Episode notes
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation
- Two types of motivation exist: extrinsic (external rewards) and intrinsic (internal drive).
- Intrinsic motivation is more sustainable and powerful than extrinsic motivation.
Rían's Motivation Shift
- Rían Doris lost motivation while pursuing a neuroscience PhD due to low intrinsic motivators like mastery and autonomy.
- Switching to business, where these motivators were higher, reignited his drive.
Intrinsic Motivation and Flow State
- Intrinsic motivators release performance-enhancing neurochemicals and lower cognitive load.
- This enhances focus, drives flow state, and further compounds intrinsic motivation.
