In this new podcast, Dr. Jordan makes a strong case for why, when young adults are starting their careers, the 1st step is to prioritize fulfillment because we all tend to get better at things we care about most. Learn the value of autonomy, flow, understanding your micro-motives and identity capitol, fixed and growth theory of motivation, and that we are not fulfilled by being excellent at something, but being deeply engaged with things that we choose.

In this podcast, Dr. Jordan describes how to teach girls that it is the pursuit of fulfillment that leads to excellence and also learn how to become aware of their intrinsic motivation. Also included is how being so future-directed (doing things because it looks good on college applications and to be accepted someday into a top college) causes kids to lose playing sports for the love of the game and learning for learning’s sake.
