IN EPISODE 198: To find and keep our motivation, we need wisdom, not just willpower. In Episode 198, Ayelet Fishbach explores the mind game of motivation. We talk all things motivation: Whether it's better to set easy or ambitious targets, why it makes sense to "count down" to a goal, how rewards affect learning and performance, how to stay motivated after getting negative feedback, and how to control our temptations.  ABOUT AYELET FISHBACH: Ayelet Fishbach is a Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. Her work examines social psychology, management, and consumer behavior and has been regularly featured in the media in outlets like the New York Times, Financial Times, WSJ, CNN, and NPR. Ayelet's latest book is Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation.

Ayelet Fishbach is a Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business, and the author of GET IT DONE: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. She is the past president of the Society for the Science of Motivation and the International Social Cognition Network. Her groundbreaking research on human motivation has won numerous awards and is regularly featured in the media, including the New York Times, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, and NPR. Ayelet earned a bachelor's degree with distinction in psychology, a master's degree summa cum laude in psychology, and a PhD magna cum laude in psychology, all from Tel Aviv University. In this episode we discuss the following: To increase motivation, find pleasure along the way. And setting a goal to do something is generally more motivating than setting a goal to stop doing something. To increase motivation, we can monitor progress by looking back and looking ahead. When we start out, we can look back and take encouragement from the small progress we've made. When we've almost completed our goal, we can look forward, and take encouragement from how little we have left. When our goals are in harmony with each other we're more motivated than when we have conflicting goals. For example, rather than thinking about work-life goals as conflicting, we can think more abstractly about how the goals complement each other. Including other people in our goals can be more motivating, whether that's explicitly involving them in our goals, or just acknowledging that others have an interest in us achieving our goals whether they realize it or not.  Follow Ayelet: X: https://x.com/ayeletfishbach LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayelet-fishbach-b32a8b4/ Website: https://www.ayeletfishbach.com/ Follow Me: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/

The start of the New Year always rings in new possibilities. However, setting and achieving goals for yourself and by yourself is harder than it seems. There are a multitude of obstacles including questions like knowing which tasks and ambitions to prioritize, where exactly to start, and how best to carry on when facing roadblocks and distractions. One truth remains though, we are likely to follow through with goals and pursuits that we are highly motivated about.On this episode, behavioral scientist, Chicago Booth professor, and leading expert on motivation, Dr. Ayelet Fishbach, Ph.D., discusses ways to think about and apply motivation to our lives and what people need to know about leveraging social support to stay motivated in our goal pursuit. Motivation is defined as a psychological force that enables action and a key to mastering Executive Function is to close the gap between one's intentions and one's actions.About Ayelet FishbachAyelet Fishbach, PhD, is the Jeffrey Breakenridge Keller Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business and the author of GET IT DONE: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation.

It is a mistake to frame motivation as a muscle, according to today's guest, Dr. Ayalet Fischbach. If you set your goals well, they will pull you like a magnet. In this conversation, we cover why numerical goals can backfire, the best practices for choosing a goal, how to monitor progress and cope with setbacks, and why social support is critical.

Today I talked to Ayelet Fishbach about her book Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation (Little, Brown Spark, 2022) The key to motivating yourself is to change your circumstances. You can do so by the goals you set, how you accept feedback in pursuing them, the flexibility you show in making progress, and how well you leverage social support. Each of those four aspects has its own pitfalls, and today's interview explores in depth a number of challenges. To harness the value of intrinsic motivation, can you stay attuned to the values and benefits that matter to you most? Likewise, can you demonstrate patience—not giving in to temptation or ceasing to engage because you don't trust that the benefits you count on will actually be there at the end of the journey? Dr. Fishbach offers insights on all of these issues, and more, in a manner that recognizes the vulnerabilities people contend with daily. Dr. Ayelet Fishbach is an award-winning psychologist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and the past president of the Society for the Science of Motivation. Her scientific findings are regularly featured in the media, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, CNN, and NPR. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc. (https://www.sensorylogic.com).

In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Nick Epley, Director of the Center for Decision Research at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I was introduced to Nick by the amazing Ayelet Fishbach, who has been on The Brainy Business twice before. Nick studies social cognition—how thinking people think about other thinking people—to understand why smart people so routinely misunderstand each other. He teaches an ethics and well-being course to MBA students called Designing a Good Life (sounds like a perfect fit around here, and we do talk about this in the episode). His research has appeared in more than two dozen empirical journals, been featured by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Wired, NPR, and more.  As Nick will share with us today...you may not realize it, but you were born with an extraordinary ability to understand what others think, feel, believe, want, and know. You are a mind reader! It's a sixth sense you use every day, in every personal and professional relationship you have. Today, Nick will share a bit of what scientists have learned about our ability to understand others and the surprising mistakes we so routinely make. Show Notes: [00:45] In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Nick Epley, director of The Center of Decision Research at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. Nick studies social cognition. [02:52] You may not realize it, but you were born with an extraordinary ability to understand what others think, feel, believe, want, and know. You are a mind reader.  [05:02] Nick shares about himself and his background. He is a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago.  [07:32] There are systematic gaps between our beliefs about someone else and reality. If we can understand what those gaps are we can understand why they exist.  [09:38] The quality of our social relationships is a critical determinant of our happiness, probably the most important. Other people are the single biggest source of our happiness as well as our misery.  [11:55] One of the big barriers to people being more social in their daily lives is that they underestimate how social others are.  [13:35] We get that risk-reward trade-off with other people wrong. We think it is riskier to reach out and engage than it is.  [15:05] Failing to realize that other people are social is a barrier to us. [17:43] One of the common things we find is that people are often surprised at how much they learned, how enjoyable the conversation was, and how much they have in common with the other person.  [20:22] Conversations have a magnetic quality to them. It draws people together and surprises people.  [22:02] If you don't like small talk…stop having it. When you take an interest in other people they reveal interesting stuff and take an interest in you.  [24:18] Take an interest in another person - that is how you have good conversations.  [26:26] If you care about somebody then you ask them questions that matter to them. Treat other people like they are good friends.  [28:09] When people imagine having a meaningful conversation with a stranger, they think the other person is not going to want to hear about it or care about it. When they get into it and open up to each other it generally goes way better than people expect.  [29:56] Having a culture where people are open, honest, and willing to engage and connect with one another, they feel connected to the place because they are connected to each other is the kind of culture that every organization wants to have and helps get the job done.  [31:56] People's reluctance to reach out and engage with others is exactly the kind of barrier that organizations would want to get rid of.  [33:38] The things that basic psychology has to teach people in business is the same thing we have to teach people in their everyday lives.   [36:02] If you are bringing people into your organization, think about interviewing with your culture in mind.  [38:46] When you make connection activities routine, common, easy, and part of the habits so people aren't thinking about it, you design it with the context so it just happens this way that is how they spread through organizations and you sustain them.  [41:30] Often organizations don't choose to make these types of opportunities a priority.   [43:52] Typing and texting lack the emotion and the thinking behind those words that you get from a person's voice.  [45:32] Share kind thoughts with other people.  [46:35] Think about somebody you feel grateful to and write them a note. Try to connect with a stranger. [49:17] Melina's closing thoughts [50:36] Take the time for real human connections, even small ones each day and see what happens.  Thanks for listening.

In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Cassie Holmes. Her fantastic book Happier Hour was named a "must-read" of 2022 by Forbes AND by the Next Big Idea Club. The Washington Post also profiled it as one of their best health books read and recommended by experts in 2022.  Cassie is a Professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. Her research examines how focusing on time (rather than money) increases happiness, how the meaning of happiness changes over the course of life, and how much happiness people enjoy from extraordinary versus ordinary experiences. Across these inquiries, her findings highlight the joy that stems from interpersonal connection and paying attention to the present moment. Cassie's academic research on the role of time in cultivating well-being has been published in leading academic journals, including Psychological Science, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, and the Journal of Consumer Research, and earned her the Early Career Award from both the Association of Consumer Research and the Society of Consumer Psychology. Cassie was identified by Poets & Quants as one of the best 40  business professors under 40, and popular accounts of her research have been featured by NPR, The Economist, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and Scientific American. Happier Hour is based on her wildly popular MBA course, “Applying the Science of Happiness to Life Design.” It is so good and I can't wait to have you hear about some of the insights from her -- it will change your life for the better I'm sure. Show Notes: [00:41] In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Cassie Holmes, who you met a few weeks ago when she was on the "panel" episode with Dr. Ayelet Fishbach sharing how to have the best and happiest 2023 possible. [02:45] Her new and widely acclaimed book, Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most, is based on her wildly popular MBA course, “Applying the Science of Happiness to Life Design.” [04:18] Cassie shares about herself, her background, and what she does. She studies happiness and in particular the role of time. [05:22] When we feel happier, it makes us better in the work environment. [08:02] She wrote Happier Hour after the success of her course so she could share her learnings with even more people. Readers can apply the insights and experience the benefits just like her students. [10:10] You can have this huge impact from changing a couple of little things if you put a little focused effort forward.  [12:21] Our time is so important. Maximize the amount of time that feels worthwhile and minimize the time that feels like a waste.  [15:12] Cassie shares a day of her life early in her career when she experienced time poverty. She wanted more time so she could slow down and experience the time she was spending.  [17:15] Time poverty is that acute feeling of having too much to do and not enough time to do it.  [19:25] With too little discretionary time people are less happy. When we have too much discretionary spent in time that doesn't feel worthwhile, that undermines our sense of purpose and we feel less satisfied.    [21:45] It is not about how much time you have available. It is really about how you invest the time you have available. [24:20] Discretionary is what you want to do as opposed to nondiscretionary is something you have to do.  [26:35] On average people are most satisfied from social connection. The least happy activities tend to be commuting, work hours, and housework.  [28:25] After tracking your time for a week you have a fantastic data set where you can find which activities made you feel most satisfied.  [31:05] If it is not something you have to do and you are not enjoying it, that is an opportunity to reallocate that time to things that are worthwhile.  [33:49] Simply being outside had its own significantly positive effect.  [36:28] Experiencing awe can increase one's sense of time affluence.  [38:40] You don't have to have your discretionary time all in one block.  [41:14] It is not the amount of time you spend on a particular activity that determines happiness. It is really the quality and your engagement in the activity that determines it.  [42:27] Ordinary experiences can bring us as much joy as extraordinary experiences if only we are paying attention and savoring and cherishing them.   [44:33] It is not just the amount of time you spend that determines its impact, it is really how you mentally engage in that time.  [46:55] The most worthwhile investment is in cultivating relationships. The single biggest predictor of having a satisfied life was having strong supportive relationships with family or friends that feel like family and that requires investment. [49:01] She was living her dream life and she found herself charging ahead because she was in her head thinking about other things she had to do. It was pulling her out of the moment.   [51:24] The goal is to pause in those moments and smell the (literal or metaphorical) roses. If we are rushing because we are time poor through it all then we might as well not spend the time in the first place.  [53:13] Cassie explains why she doesn't make New Year's resolutions.  [55:41] Melina chooses a word and theme to help her through the whole year. [58:10] Why change something that is working.

In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Mike Rucker, author of the brand new book, The Fun Habit, which just came out a couple of days ago on January 3, 2023. Mike is an organizational psychologist and charter member of the International Positive Psychology Association whose work has been published in the International Journal of Workplace Health Management and Nutrition Research. His ideas about fun and health have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Fast Company, The Telegraph, Psychology Today, Forbes, Vox, Thrive Global, Mindbodygreen, and more. He was named one of ten digital changemakers by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society, and currently serves as a senior leader at Active Wellness. And, not surprisingly, today's conversation is all about fun! We also talk about framing and word choice and how fun and change really do go together. It's a great chat that I can't wait to share with you. Show Notes: [00:41] In today's conversation, I am joined by Dr. Mike Rucker, author of the brand new book The Fun Habit.  [02:32] Mike shares about himself and his background. He is an organizational psychologist by trade but focuses more on behavioral science.  [02:44] His new book, The Fun Habit looks at living a life more joyfully through actively pursuing the activities you engage in rather than pursuing happiness.  [04:04] From 2009-2016 he optimized his life and tried to extrapolate as much happiness as he could.  [06:33] He found out that the more he tried to chase happiness the unhappier he was and he wanted to figure out why.  [09:08] We can have more longevity with certain tasks if we add a component that makes it pleasurable for us. We do mundane things – with a little creativity, we can reframe them.   [12:07] If we take control over how we spend our time and we bias it towards fun things, ultimately we are going to perceive the world in a more positive and optimistic light.  [14:41] If you don't take time off the table for yourself you are not showing up as the best version of yourself.  [16:42] When our lives are overly habituated and we are always doing the same stuff we store those memories as single units. [18:58] Most people live this habituated life and that becomes comfortable, but you forget that you can have a little bit of time for yourself. [20:42] Disruption is a great opportunity for change.   [21:42] The initial step is to sit down and brainstorm what you would like to do more for fun. This could include past hobbies, things you authentically feel connected to, and things you long to do. Par your list down to 8-15 things so it is actionable. [23:34] An important second step is to make sure it is not an exercise of adding things to your already busy life. Mike suggests doing a time audit.  [26:16] We need to swap out the “low-hanging fruit” activities for ones that light us up more.  [27:15] First create space in your schedule. Once you have that, use the list you made to integrate things that are more fun into your life.  [28:29] A lot of times the biggest impact is looking for a way to change an activity so it is better, or adding something on. [30:56] When you hear about fun interventions at work you need to make sure everyone can come in and have fun at the activity in a safe place. Leaders need to be setting an example.   [33:07] Fun in the workplace generally unites you around a common goal. Cohesion comes from wanting to accomplish something together.  [35:16] Because our brains work in micro-moments and microdecisions, we really need to be looking at the little things. (Change is more than just the big stuff that requires a project team.) [38:00] People who have a best friend at work are more loyal, happier, engaged, and better employees. Helping to incorporate fun and allowing people to connect is valuable.  [40:45] You can either empower the individual so that they can have more fun and more vitality when they come back to the office or you can create it from an empathic standpoint where you are creating opportunities for organic fun.  [41:37] Fun is not the same for everyone.   [42:56] If the outcome of whatever you are trying to do can still be the same but allow people to do it in a way that feels comfortable to them, you are going to have more fun every time.   [44:10] Melina's closing thoughts [44:54] We are a species that is meant to have fun. We should take the time and make the effort to bring fun back into our lives.  Thanks for listening. Don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Android.

Today's episode is all about temptation bundling, and before we talk about what that is, can we take a minute to celebrate the milestone that is this episode?! This is the 250TH EPISODE of The Brainy Business podcast!!!  What an amazing way to kick off 2023. I would love to say that I planned it that way, but it was more serendipitous than anything (I think that's how we know it was meant to be).  One thing that has allowed me to write, record and set up 250 episodes (along with everything else I do each week) is temptation bundling, which is the focus of today's episode. This one originally aired as number 136 in January 2021, and there is a reason I chose to have it back again to kick off the year.  Temptation bundling is a great way to help you reach goals by making something mundane, boring or hard more enjoyable and likely to be completed. Don't get me wrong, I love creating the podcast. It is fun to learn and share and I do enjoy it. However, it has plenty of mundane stuff that needs to be done to keep it moving, so a little temptation bundling is very helpful in getting this and so many other aspects of my life and work moving forward when it might be easier or more tempting to put it off. Listen in for all the ins and outs of temptation bundling and how you can use it for your own life and work. Show Notes: [00:39] Today's episode is all about temptation bundling, but first, we must celebrate 250 episodes! [01:49] Temptation bundling is a great way to help you reach goals by making something mundane, boring or hard more enjoyable and likely to be completed. [02:54] One of my favorite things about temptation bundling is how simple it is.  [04:42] Temptation bundling is taking something you should do but may have a longer-term reward and may not be super appealing at the moment…and bundling it with something you really want to do right now.  [06:53] A slight change in routine can upend newly formed habits and make it hard to start up again if you aren't careful.   [08:11] Pretty much anything can be a candidate for the bundle. What you set up doesn't need to be what someone else would want or need. [09:46] Temptation bundling uses a “now” activity to achieve a longer-term goal and overcome time discounting.  [10:16] Don't feel like you need to bundle things simultaneously. Most multitasking doesn't work well.  [11:05] Start by looking for something you love to do in your spare time. If you had a free day, what would be at the top of your list? [12:52] It is important to have that reward tied to the action you need to take now to be successful.   [13:39] Temptation bundling is everywhere. You just have to find the cheese to your own personal life broccoli and you will be achieving goals left and right.  [13:49] Melina's closing thoughts [14:33] It doesn't matter if this is in the “manufactured happiness' category. Our brains look at natural happiness and manufactured or synthetic happiness in pretty much the same way. [15:08] One of my other favorite things about temptation bundling, is that it allows you to get more done. Thanks for listening. Don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Android.

Most of us have a love-hate relationship with New Year's resolutions. We love that feeling of a fresh start. But we hate how our commitments seldom make it to Valentine's Day. So what if this year we had an expert teach us how to do it right? Ayelet Fishbach is that expert. She's a social psychologist at the University of Chicago and author of the book, Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. In this interview, we talk about how to choose goals that energize us and how to pair them with incentives that keep us motivated. We also discuss a system for working on multiple goals simultaneously. Finally, we learn about the power of social support and how we can get it.

One of the ways we find our groove is through knowledge – sometimes new ideas, sometimes repeated ideas that are presented in new ways. Sometimes, it's just reminders of old ideas that deserve a new look. And we love the fresh ideas that we've read about this year in the very notable Behavioral Science books of 2022. Kurt and Tim sit down, in this episode, to discuss the highlights of the books they've read in 2022. To save you some time, they have compiled a summary of why they liked each book, and what you can expect to get from reading it. We'd love to hear about your favorite books of the year.

There are all sorts of ways to struggle with getting things done. Maybe you're a procrastinator, maybe you're somebody whose energy flags in the middle of a project, maybe you're too stubborn and don't know when to quit, or maybe you're somebody who sets too many goals and gets burned out. Whatever your situation, we all struggle with motivation. The good news is that there's a whole crew of scientists who study best practices for getting things done, including today's guest, Ayelet Fishbach, PhD.Fishbach is one of the most eminent players in the field. She is the Jeffrey Breakenridge Keller Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. She is also the author of Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. In this episode we talk about:The crucial first step of setting goalsHow to pick the right goals for youWhether it's more effective to have a goal that is positive – where you're aiming to achieve something specific – or negative – where you're aiming to stop doing somethingWhether to-do lists workWhether incentives workBest practices for monitoring your progressThe importance of celebrating milestones The importance of negative feedbackWhy the 10,000 steps per day goal makes motivational sense even though it's been proven to be scientifically arbitrary And how to know when to let go of a goalFull Shownotes: www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/ayelet-fishbach-525See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.

Staying Motivated to Get Things Done How do we stay motivated when we're pursuing our goals? And what can we learn from motivational science to help us both at work and at home? We're joined today by one of the most important voices in motivational science, Dr. Ayelet Fishbach. Ayelet is the author of a new book entitled Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. In this episode, Ayelet will talk about some of the biggest myths or misunderstandings about motivation--some that I think you'll recognize. She'll talk about the importance of how we frame goals and how putting a number to them makes a big difference. She'll explain the planning fallacy and how that impacts us individually and with our projects. Ayelet will help us better understand if we should reflect on the progress we've made--or how far we have to go yet. And throughout the discussion, we'll apply the learning to goals like project delivery, team motivation, earning a certification, exercising, losing weight, and even parenting! It's a conversation I'm looking forward to sharing with you. Learn more about Ayelet and her book at https://AyeletFishbach.com/.

It's harder today to keep motivation strong and sustained, due partly to the decrease in organized and structured work environments. Many people are encountering a negative impact on their ability to reach their own goals, given higher levels of distraction.

NUGGET CONTEXT Ayelet speaks about how we should think about “glass half full or empty” when it comes to motivating ourselves or others around us. Do we look at the ground we have traversed or the distance ahead? She speaks about the nuance involved here and when each of the approaches might make sense for us to motivate ourselves or others around us. GUEST Ayelet Fishbach, Ph.D., is the Jeffrey Breakenridge Keller Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business and the author of Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. She is the past president of the Society for the Study of Motivation and the International Social Cognition Network. She is an expert on motivation and decision making.  In the podcast conversation, we start with her journey from the sharing economy of the Israeli Kibbutz which is based on the principles of equality, public ownership and voluntariness. From there she goes to the other extreme which is the University of Chicago which is all about Capital Markets and incentives drive human behaviour. We then dive into her recent book and talk about the various elements of motivation – how we think about goal setting, psychological reactance and what it can teach us about parenting, motivating ourselves during the long middle, mining the silent graveyard of failure, the power of joint goals as illustrated by Madame Curie and much more.  Published in June 2022.

NUGGET CONTEXT Ayelet speaks about the fact that we often have celebrations at the beginning of a journey and at the end of the journey and it is the long messy middle during which we often struggle to find the motivation to keep marching forward.

NUGGET CONTEXT Ayelet speaks about how there is much more information in failures and in us mining the graveyards of failure than trying to overanalyze the factors behind success. Her assertion is that there is greater heterogeneity in failure that leads to richer information that could be helpful than the relative homogeneity of successes. She also goes on to speak about how we think about sharing positive and negative feedback with people.

NUGGET CONTEXT Ayelet speaks about the case of Marie Curie. She wins the Nobel Prize in 1903 with her husband Pierre Curie for discovering Radioactivity. (She wins another Nobel Prize in 1911 for isolating pure Radium). Their eldest daughter, Irene Curie, won the Nobel Prize with her husband Frederic Joliot Curie. They were the second couple to win the Nobel Prize together, the first one being Marie and Pierre. Ayelet speaks about the power of joint goals using this as a reference case in point.

Join us on Tuesday, May 17 @ 6pm EST for an exciting conversation with professor and author, Dr. Ayelet Fishbach, discussing her work on motivation and her latest book, GET IT DONE: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. Dr. Fishbach is the Jeffrey Breakenridge Keller Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business. She is the past president of the Society for the Study of Motivation and the International Social Cognition Network. Also an expert on motivation and decision making, Dr. Fishbach's groundbreaking research on human motivation has won the Society of Experimental Social Psychology's Best Dissertation Award and Career Trajectory Award, and the Fulbright Educational Foundation Award.

When I initially read a review of Ayelet Fishbach's new book, "Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation," I was skeptical. Does anyone really need another book on motivating others?However, it doesn't take long after digging into this book to discover that she's presenting research -- both her own and other studies -- in a well-organized, thoughtful manner that unveils useful insights that can be implemented immediately by anyone who manages a team.In our discussion, Fishbach, who teaches at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, talks about why goals need to be different than chores; the importance of self-selected goals; how inexperienced and experienced (expert) workers take negative feedback differently; and what she thinks about the increased movement to help others find purpose in their work.You can start with this interview and her book, but Fishbach offers a treasure trove of other insights about effectively managing others on her website. Poke around a bit and I'm confident you'll be a better manager for it.

Kelly catches up with noted University of Chicago scholar Ayelet Fishbach to discuss her new book “Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation.” “We thrive in groups and fall ill when alone.”“We often fail to learn from failure.”“Even the illusion of progress increases motivation.”

When we set goals, we're excited, engaged and motivated to complete them. But after a while, the momentum can slow, we lose enthusiasm and we start cutting corners. The “middle problem” is something we can all relate to. And it's one of the topics we discuss on this episode with Dr Ayelet Fisbach PhD.  Ayelet teaches us about staying motivated, without cutting corners. How our identity, flexibility and patience actually affect our goals. And perhaps, most importantly, why we should set ourselves uncomfortable goals and learn from our failures. Talking with Ayelet on Behavioral Grooves was a true privilege for us. She is one of the few researchers on the planet who blend motivation and goal setting into their work, and her groundbreaking research has won her a bunch of international awards. She is the Jeffrey Breckenridge Keller Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and also the recent author of Get it Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation (https://amzn.to/3f3ooh4).

In her insightful new book GET IT DONE: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation (January 4, Little Brown Spark), scientist and University of Chicago Booth professor of behavioral science Dr. Ayelet Fishbach takes on the questions that plague us most: What happens when the person you most want to influence is yourself? How do you know where to start? How do you carry on in the face of roadblocks and distractions? How do you decide which tasks and ambitions to prioritize? We were joined today by Dr. Ayelet Fishbach to discuss her new book, GET IT DONE: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation (   Dr. Ayelet Fishbach, a leading motivational scientist at University of Chicago, has dedicated much of her extensive career to answering some of the biggest questions on the topic of motivation. Setting and achieving goals—at work, at home, and in relationships—is harder than it seems. Countless books and articles have been written on the subject of motivating others, but most are not penned by serious behavioral scientists at the forefront of this discipline. As Angela Duckworth says, “I don't know anyone, scientist or otherwise, who knows more than Ayelet Fishbach about the psychology of goals.”   For more on Dr. Ayelet Fishbach : https://www.ayeletfishbach.com/https://wsp.wharton.upenn.edu/book/future-of-the-office/ More about Houston Money Week visit: www.Houstonmoneyweek.org http://www.cheatsheet.com/personal-fi…​ Financial Advisor Magazine Articles: http://www.fa-mag.com/news/advisors-s…​ http://www.fa-mag.com/news/on-it-s-80…​ You can also listen to this episode and others by podcast at: http://directory.libsyn.com/shows/vie…​ or www.moneymatterspodcast.com #MoneyMattersHouston​​ #ChristopherHensley​​ #HoustonMoneyWeek​​ #ayeletfishbach
