Why do we do what we do? (with Prof. Richard Ryan)

What motivates us to do our best in some areas of life, while in others we only give the bare minimum to get the job done? And how can individuals, as well as business leaders and coaches, develop environments that inspire people to give and be at their best? In this insightful episode of Being Human, Prof. Richard Ryan joins host Dr. Chua Sook Ning to talk about three fundamental needs that drive our motivation (relatedness, competence, and autonomy) and what life looks like when those needs are fulfilled compared to when one or more is lacking.  Richard Ryan is the University of Rochester Professor Emeritus of Psychology, and also a clinical psychologist and co-developer with Edward Deci of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), one of the most influential theories of human motivation.
