The Power Of Meaningfulness

NOTE FROM JIM:

What generates your drive and energy, and gets you to persevere?

I'm a fan of Dan Ariely and his work in behavioral economics, a discipline that merges psychology and economics. Dan is a professor at Duke.

In a recent TED presentation, Dan shares insights from his research about the things that motivate us.  Is it money, acknowledgement, or is it something else? 

In just 20 minutes Dan offers helpful lessons with powerful impact for application at home and at work.
