Several months ago, I was asked to write on the subject of motivation, and this is the first step. I’m going to meander around for a while, throwing disconnected things (including some that are there just to serve as examples later) onto a pile, then I’ll try to tie it together. Less of a sequence, more of a “bundle,” so to speak.
I’m not sure yet how it’ll work out, but we’ll see relatively soon.
thanks—can see how this would make an interesting part of the bundle. loved that you tied this in with mindfulness meditation. given some (behaviouralists) would say that motivation comes from avoiding suffering (or gaining reward) mindfulness meditation makes a sharp relief to that due to it’s recommendation NOT to avoid or to strive toward. be interested to see how you see that in connection with motivation.
