The surprising truth about what motivates us

I found this interesting video about motivation. The video is just a 10 min. clip of a longer lecture by Dan Pink's talk at the RSA.

I'm big on just listening to lectures and stuff while working. Keeps the brain moving just a little bit more for me.

Here's a good one on striving to be creative, history of people and their creativity, and the pressures of maintaining your creativity. It's from a writer, but still very much worth listening to as that is still an art in and of itself. Nice Tom Waits reference in there as well:)

First one is inspirational. Gives me hope that if I just keep pushing, no matter the goal, I can achieve some level of success.
