429 - The Science of Motivation

In today’s episode I talk about the Science around Motivation. We tend to talk about motivation a lot because most of us are sort of either struggling to have enough of it or we think we don't have enough of it. But is motivation really a problem?

Key Points:

· What causes motivations in our brain chemistry

· The role dopamine plays in our motivation

· How to get motivated when you aren't focused

· How rewards can fuel motivation

Notable Quote:

“But if we're struggling to feel motivated, if we're having a tough day of focus, we just don't want to do things anymore. What we need to do is train our brains to focus on the reward of that task.” – Gregg Clunis
