As for this episode, we're two English teachers who rise and grind! 🤣This week we're talking about motivation at large: the shallow one and the deep one. Why the video "Rise and Grind" or the Holstee posters seem shallow to Jedrek? What is the difference between a platitude and a deep thought? We analyze several words of wisdom. Next we're mentioning the latest book by WIll Storr "The Status Game" and Jedrek has some doubts whether status is our ultimate motivator. And later we end up discussing a matter relevant to Masha and her first book-in-the-making: why would anyone like to quit a paradise out of their own will and what is the value in persevering?
