Advice Goddess Radio, LIVE, Tonight, 7-8pm PT, 10-11pm ET: Dr. Edward L. Deci On How To Be Self-Motivated And Best Motivate Others
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.
Many people seem to think that the most effective motivation comes from outside of us, that motivating is something one person does to or for another. The studies done by my guest tonight, psychologist Dr. Edward L. Deci, find that self-motivation, not external motivation, is at the heart of creativity, responsibility, healthy behavior, and lasting change.
This is essential to understand whether we are trying to motivate ourselves or looking to encourage others to successfully motivate themselves.
On tonight's show, Dr. Deci will tell us what research shows about we go wrong in our thinking on motivation and how we can become more self-motivated -- and thus happier and more successful in every aspect of our lives.
Dr. Deci's book we'll be discussing tonight is Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Self-Motivation

Don't miss last week's show with Dr. Matthew Hertenstein on the behavioral "tells" that reveal who we are.
This show draws on scientific research to reveal some surprising ways we use tiny bits of behavior and mannerisms to correctly predict others' intentions and actions.
It also lays out areas that the research finds we are not so good in making predictions, like in discerning whether others are lying. You'll learn the few signs that actually do suggest that somebody is lying as well as finding out other ways we are prone to err in our assessments of others' skills and intentions.
My guest, psychologist Dr. Matthew Hertenstein has taken a research-driven look at all of this in "The Tell: The Little Clues That Reveal Big Truths About Who We Are."
