Episode Synopsis "Get Motivated"

Motivation is important – and it isn’t just about the proverbial “carrot on a stick” idea. Whether it is the energy it takes to get to class in the morning or the drive we have to finish a major project, motivation is what pushes us to behave in certain ways. Right now, you might be motivated to listen to your newest playlist on iTunes, but if you are in a General Psychology course, you should probably listen to this episode instead.
