Publisher's Synopsis
How to Motivate Yourself: The Science of Getting Things Done
Motivation is the key to success. It's what makes you want to get up and go, even when you don't feel like it. Everyone needs motivation from time to time, but not everyone knows how to find it or keep it. Progress is the desire to move towards a goal. When you feel like you're making progress, you're more likely to be motivated to continue working on your goal. You can increase your sense of progress by setting goals that are challenging but achievable, breaking down your goals into smaller steps, and tracking your progress. This book will give you some insight into motivation and how it works for both adults and teenagers, as well as provide some tips on how you can increase your own level of motivation. Many aspects of motivation are explored in many sciences, such as biology, psychology, sociology, and political science. Motivation receives content both from the object to which the activity is directed and from the need that is satisfied to achieve it. Different conditions and how they are implemented can lead to a confrontation of motivation. The natural choice of motives for action depends on a person's personal development stage. A complex set of components can describe the essence of motivation: the type of need, the form, and the degree of actualization, the scope and content of the activities performed. In social psychology, a distinction is made between verbal, demonstrative, and actual motivations, encouraging the individual to meet real needs. Sociology examines the motivations determining aggressive behavior, fear of reality, career advancement, sexual behavior, and other activities. ByPaul Hesch
