What I Discuss With Dr. Ayelet Fishbach Many books have been written about influencing and motivating others but very little is documented on the science of motivating yourself. Dr. Ayelet Fishbach shares how you can set and achieve goals for yourself whether they are at home, at work, or in relationships and why it is harder than it may seem. We discuss how to know where to start, what to do to tackle obstacles, how to intentionally decide which tasks to focus on and how to get help from others to accomplish the goals. What Ayelet learned from being raised in an Israeli kibbutz and how it shaped who she is today. Advice on how to overcome chronic loneliness. The framework for goal mastery. How to set a goal. How to keep the momentum going. How to juggle and prioritize goals. How to use and help people in your life to reach your goals. The difference between Do versus Do not goals. What is suppression and why is it notoriously hard to do? What we can learn from the loss-aversion principle. Why incentives matter. Why human beings are wired to choose immediate gratification over benefits we have to wait to receive? Why intrinsic motivation is the best predictor of engagement.

One reason it's hard to choose our objective is that we are often planned for our future self
