Blind Insights - Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation


Listen Later

What makes you want to get out the bed to work or be productive? Many people will think hard about this and not even consider the differences between the tangible and internal fruits of their labour. Winning bread for a family can be fulfilling for you internally, but the work result is extrinsic, there are external factors motivating you to work. What does intrinsic motivation do differently and why does it matter for the individual and for economy? David and Tim discuss new movements in the workforce, and how society could benefit from replacing meaning from work, with meaning in work.
