Good Morning, SuperForest!
A few days ago, I shared with you a pretty spectacular piece of video goodness in Jeremy Rifkin’s “The Empathic Civilization”. What I didn’t tell you is that I had originally seen another similarly crafted RSA animation when I was first introduced to the video series. You already saw the first one that goes into an explanation of humans and empathy, this next one sort of goes hand in hand with it and takes things a bit further by asking the question,
“What motivates us?”
Again, in order to answer this question, the speaker goes into detail about fascinating scientific discoveries that challenge our perceptions of what it means to be human. This time, the findings point to one thing in particular: As it turns out, we aren’t as endlessly manipulable and predictable when it comes to motivations as you would think. And though economics and profit never have really been strong areas of interest for me, personally, the concept of “purpose” always has, which is the message that makes this ten minute video so wildly captivating.
Hope you have a happy Monday, SuperForest! We’ve got a brand new day/week ahead of us, and that gives us the perfect opportunity to reflect on what drives us, on how we motivate ourselves, and of course, on how we are motivating others.
With love,
Carla
