Motivation Triggers

The science of getting started: from complete apathy to full sprint. Stop saying “I’ll do that later…”


Humans, at our best, seek to take the path of least resistance. Often, this results in doing nothing at all. And it feels great. But we need to be able to switch to another gear. And you’ll learn how here.


Understand the psychology of motivation (and procrastination) and how to take advantage of it.


Motivation Triggers is an insightful look at motivation: how it works, and how you can interrupt our inclination to be lazy and procrastinate. You’ll learn to attack motivation from both a physical and psychological perspective. This book will teach you how to give your brain what it wants… while lighting a fire under you and pushing you to reach your goals.


Learn to trigger motivation and action on command.

Quotes

  • Jasminehas quoted5 months ago
    Influence is not the same as force—it’s more about appealing to natural forces already underway. You can coerce someone with aggression, but you can never make anyone want to do something they don’t want to do—otherwise the entire field of advertising would be unnecessary!

    The concept is simple: motivation has to come from within.

    Any manager dealing with an uninspired and apathetic workforce knows this—you can’t force motivation any more than you can force love or interest or care. It has to be genuine.
  • Jasminehas quoted5 months ago
    Most activities, when you think about it, are a blend of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators—we may act because of our deeply held values and principles, but these themselves may have been heavily impressed on us by our history and our particular environment.
