Motivation is often misunderstood as a force driven by a system of rewards and punishments. However, the latest research shows it's much more dependent on cultivating meaning, purpose, task mastery, and freedom of choice. In this course students will uncover the keys inside themselves to ignite the power of their motivation at school and their life. Research on motivation from the fields of psychology, behavioral economics, and neuroscience is discussed and then tools are provided that enhance the drive to achieve in a balanced and healthy manner. Students will learn how to cultivate the psycho-physiological factors that increase motivation, while reducing those aspects that depress it.
This Motivation workshop is adapted specifically for graduate students from Stanford's Wellness Ed curriculum.
If you are not able to commit to this multi-session workshop, consider attending Aneel's wellness teasers or check out the Wellness Network to find other campus resources to support your health and well-being.
