20 分钟We explore an essential ingredient of human behavior: motivation.
Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season shes tackling topics that affect her own life like stress, perfectionism and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
Hi Matt here one area of study that fascinates me is motivation.
A while back I spoke with my colleague Suu Kyi Huang about what helps us to get ourselves and others motivated to initiate and complete tasks.
I found our discussion about needs and emotions really interesting.
Further, Suchi shared ideas about when it.
Is useful to compare ourselves to others.
I put some of her advice to use in a friendly competition where I and others are striving to be more healthy and it really helped me to achieve my goals.
So I invite you to listen in to this think fast talk smart best of episode on motivation so much of our communication is about motivation, motivating others and motivating ourselves.
I'm Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast talk smart, the podcast.
I am really excited to speak with Suu Kyi Huang, an associate professor of marketing at Stanford GSB.
Suchi's research focuses on motivation, science and shared goal pursuit.
She studies things such as competition, healthy eating, and dynamic feedback.
Hi Suchi, welcome to the podcast.
I am super excited to have you here.
