Thank you for the extremely detailed video, I don't ordinarily watch 30min videos without pausing, however the points you were bringing were clicking in my head,. I've been there before and I am there right now. I will check out the other video as well, thank you again.
Man, YOU'VE BEEN CHANGING MY LIFE! I know you just started posting a few months back. But the quality of your videos is insane! Best content for my pivot years in starting to work on my own. Amazing editing. Just.. deep appreciation! ❤ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK Best wishes from Triest, Boštjan
Great great video, I really like your content as a whole please keep it going! Could you please do a video or point out a video on how to do difficult things that you do not feel like doing. You have covered it in this framework, but a deeper dive might be very useful for increasing productivity as day-to-day we often sadly have to do tasks that suck, like the study that you mentioned. Of course, ideally, we can change this over time, but day to day it can be difficult to just get rid of these talks if that makes sense. So a video on how to do these soul-sucking tasks would be amazing.
Dopamine Enigma Unveiled seriously blew my mind. Learning about dopamine optimization and detox completely changed how I approach productivity and focus. Has anyone else here tried applying these techniques? The section on unlocking peak mental performance was a game-changer for me!
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
5 intrinsic motivators that keep you motivated, keep you in the flow state: 1) Curiosity: The insatiable urge to learn, a book you cannot put down. 2) Purpose. You make sacrifices because the work is something you care about/passionate about. 3) Mastery: Pursuit of excellence and continuous improvement, the musician who practices after the concert. 4) Autotelicity: The Love of the work you do it just because you love it even if you did not get paid. 5) Autonomy: The feel of being in control of the when, how, and what of your work. To sum up: You need to be in control of a passionate objective in which you want to become supremely accomplished.
Past 8 days I'm so productive because of this video. I just used 1 hr youtube in the past 9 days and spent more than 70 hrs studying I'm entering flow I'm enjoying it ty to you I do not scroll any more . This video was really helpful. I've already seen it 3 times may be in future I'll see this again . Im really thankful to you.
Dropped out of my PhD 10 years ago and joined industry. Your success story is inspiring me to start my own research lab. I don't know how I'll make it work but I'm super excited!
There's so much value distilled and compressed in these 25 minutes of content, that it's evident a lot of work and effort has been put into it. So thank you for making this available.
Finally, a video where how my brain is operating is totally explained. I knew there was more to what I was going through, rather than just being labeled just can’t follow through.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧠 There's a hidden motivation switch in the brain stronger than money, praise, or fame. 00:14 🚀 Flow states can be accessed at will, leading to greater productivity and engagement. 00:42 ⏰ Many struggle with procrastination and lack of motivation daily, feeling disappointed at the day's end. 01:25 🔄 The issue is not just a lack of motivation but lacking the right type of motivation. 01:54 ⛽ There are two types of motivation: extrinsic (external rewards) and intrinsic (inner drive). Extrinsic motivation is temporary, while intrinsic is more lasting and self-sustaining. 02:49 🌟 Intrinsic motivation is like fusion energy; it's efficient, self-sustaining, and makes hard tasks feel easy. 03:17 🚀 Extrinsic motivation can jumpstart endeavors, but intrinsic motivation provides the sustained push. 03:30 🔧 To enhance motivation, focus on five intrinsic motivators: curiosity, mastery, autotelic purpose, autonomy, and purpose. 04:27 🧩 Curiosity drives an insatiable need to learn, while purpose provides a deeper meaning to the work. 05:38 🎯 Mastery is the pursuit of excellence; autotelic activities are done for their inherent pleasure. 07:03 🔑 Autonomy provides a sense of control in one's work, ensuring the work feels like one's own. 07:46 🔄 Identifying and aligning intrinsic motivators can lead to significant career and personal shifts. 08:55 💡 When all intrinsic motivators align, they release performance-enhancing neurochemicals and reduce cognitive load. 09:26 🌀 Intrinsic motivators enhance focus and drive, leading to flow states, which further amplify motivation. 09:53 🔄 Intrinsic motivation feeds flow, which in turn feeds back into intrinsic motivation, creating a virtuous cycle of unstoppable drive. 10:08 🚀 Titans of industry like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have sustained motivation for decades due to this cycle. 10:20 🧠 Figures like Einstein and Marie Curie were driven by their intense intrinsic motivations, leading to groundbreaking discoveries. 10:35 🏆 Athletes like Michael Jordan and Serena Williams' achievements highlight the power of intrinsic motivators when maxed out. 11:04 🔍 Curiosity: An urge not just to know but to deeply understand. Where the mind drifts often reveals one's curiosity. 11:46 🎯 Mastery: The endless pursuit of improvement. It's about acquiring new skills and the biochemical pleasure from progression. 12:56 💖 Autotelicity (Audicity): When work feels like play and what you're doing feels like the most important thing. 13:23 🌎 Purpose: Tying your work to a cause or mission greater than yourself, leading to increased persistence and motivation. 14:05 🤲 Autonomy: The sense of ownership and freedom in your tasks. It's about having a say in your actions without external constraints. 14:47 📊 To harness the power of these motivators, identify where you currently stand with each and optimize them. 15:27 📚 Curiosity can be enhanced by seeing direct results from learning and immediate feedback. 16:52 🎼 Mastery requires deliberate practice, pushing oneself to the edge of their comfort zone. 18:01 🎮 For Audicity, focus on what you're naturally good at; strengths lead to flow and eventually love for the activity. 19:10 ❤️ A clear purpose boosts both motivation and job satisfaction. It's crucial to identify tasks that align with one's life mission. 19:24 ✍️ For autonomy, reflect on the degree of freedom and ownership you felt in the past month to evaluate its presence in your life. 19:38 🧠 The feeling of autonomy at work relates to the degree of control and choice one has. 19:52 🔄 Two ways to increase autonomy: perceptual and literal. 20:05 🖼️ Shift your perspective and view current tasks as a stepping stone in a bigger plan. 20:33 📈 Even low-autonomy jobs can be framed as learning opportunities for bigger future goals. 20:47 💪 Gain "Fu autonomy" by acquiring skills, networks, and knowledge that offer flexibility and choice in one's career. 21:14 🏃 Having options boosts confidence, allowing you to leave unsatisfying roles without fear. 21:29 🔍 Concentrate on areas of your work that you can fully control to feel more autonomous. 21:56 📊 Aim to boost each intrinsic motivator and adjust based on life's changes and challenges. 22:25 ❤️ High intrinsic motivation leads to greater work passion, even amidst life's hurdles. 23:05 ⛓️ Relying solely on extrinsic motivation can make you a slave to external rewards and fears. 23:19 🚀 When intrinsic motivation takes over, you're less influenced by external pressures. 23:46 🧘♂️ Strive to become a "Zen Warrior" - detached from externalities but deeply engaged in your work. 24:01 🌊 True motivation arises when you immerse yourself in the flow of work, irrespective of external influences.

Love this Rian! Purpose is extremely powerful. It took me years to find mine and I attribute my addiction to cheap dopamine to this. When you constantly desenstize your brain with these instant gratification activities, it becomes harder to pick up on the things in your daily life that you actually love to do. Learning to control myself has recovered my brain's reward system and this made me find my purpose. Like you explained in the video, this truly unlocks unlimited motivation. It seems to others like I'm working all day but it feels to me like I'm playing all day.
I've read and loved Steven Kotler's "The Art of Impossible", and this is a brilliant, concise and clear refresher of the motivation stack. It's much easier to have it here, so clearly and succinctly presented, it makes the amazing work you both are doing and sharing with the world even simpler to understand and put into practice. A BIG thank you for sharing your expertise in these content rich and very practical videos. 🙏
You are probably the only TH-cam channel that made me watch all of your previous videos because every video you do is meaningful. Now I never skip a video because you are the best source of information about productivity there is on TH-cam.
I love “TH-cam University” but this is one of the best videos I’ve seen. Excellent, inspiring, needed as I launch my new biz and working harder than ever. I feel affirmed that my purpose and desire for mastery are high. My curiosity and autonomy fluctuate as I have to learn things I don’t always want to and do often feel under pressure. Autotelicity feels lowest but definitely present at times. Sometimes sheer willpower and discipline + remembering extrinsic motivators are needed to start, then the momentum increases in these intrinsic motivators to keep going.
I almost skipped over this video and I am so grateful I didn't. Amazing context, insight, and advise. I was immediately struck with how I could implement this in myself, my family's life, and for my staff. Thank you for the time spent on this video, it's changed my viewpoint on incentives and productivity as a whole.
Due to the fact that I’m trying to learn game development and programming this is exactly what I’ve been needing I love programming and creating things sometimes even more then gaming and stuff my main barrier to entry was focus and learning how to work without getting distracted so i can pour myself into what I love to do great videos and needless to say they will be of great use
You are probably the only TH-cam channel that made me watch all of your previous videos because every video you do is meaningful. Now I never skip a video because you are the best source of information about productivity there is on TH-cam.
I’ve found this channel just yesterday and already watched 4 videos and I love it! It’s such a profound wisdom packaged in easy to digest form and presented really well. No fluff, no bs. And it comes from a guy who’s into personal development for years upon years and you speak directly to my problems. Sometimes I feel like I have all this potential and I just can’t work. You give me hope to get unstuck in life. Thank you
If you are one of those people who thought the video was too long then you still have much work to do. I am curious and find it fascinating. I saved it to listen again. Rather than wanting it to be shorter, I wanted it to be longer. If you cannot commit to a relatively short and enlightening commentary you may not have what it takes to even start a goal let alone completing one. The answer to why you have difficulty is found within the lecture. But first you have to hear it, and really want to. I appreciate the author’s effort and insight. There is much wisdom here.
00:04 There is a hidden brain switch that unlocks unlimited motivation. 02:12 Intrinsic motivation is the key to unlimited motivation. 06:20 Lack of autonomy led to dissatisfaction and decreased motivation in Academia. 08:24 Intrinsic motivators release neurochemicals that enhance focus and drive, leading to flow state. 12:52 Autotelicity, Purpose, and Autonomy are the key intrinsic motivators. 14:55 Identify and leverage your intrinsic motivators in your work. 18:38 Purpose and autonomy are key factors for motivation and job satisfaction. 20:25 Boost autonomy by shaping your life trajectory and acquiring Fu skills, network, and knowledge. 23:53 Develop a zen warrior like trait of detachment and engagement
Yeah like "i had no motivation in academia, but then i used these concepts to build that motivation i needed so much!" Oh yeah, how?! Show me! "I changed to business!" Oh fvck off

I am so glad I came across this video. I was feeling extremely down. Lack of autonomy + negative leadership has gradually brought down other drivers. Work has become so painful that I started having anxiety attacks.
Wow.. I really resonate to this, this really helps me to understand about myself more. Without this, I don't think i can escape the burnt out cycle man. Thanks for the good work.
That's insane! Everything you are saying I experienced in my dreams. And now I am stumbling on the facts and putting together the meaning of things I did not know but subconciously. Vivid dreams are indeed a window, a realm into the human soul. Specially recurring vivid dreams.
It’s very interesting how most of the footage of Rían talking has the camera position portray the footage as a person-person conversation even though the viewer isn’t quite speaking. This conversation like footage induces a state of micro flow, which is key for the viewer to focus on the video even after watching it. The video was likely designed that way, which is amazing. Also, happy birthday to Mihály Csíkszentmihályi
Thank you for putting light on the two types of motivators. You put into words what I’ve been observing but didn’t have words for yet . Again, thank you 🙏
Maybe it's something you wanted, didn't know it existed but now you are most certain you needed it, even tho it's probably not gonna be that only piece that was lacking in your life :(

Rian, you are an absolute Godsend! Thank you so much for creating this. It’s exactly what I needed to understand. I’m highly purpose driven, but felt stuck in soul-draining jobs which affected my mental health and wellbeing for nearly a decade, so when I say this video really helped me get through my stuck state, it really has. I’m so grateful you shared this with us. Really interested in this and will look into it further. Thank you once again!
I feel like you are basically talking about myself here, Rian. I am full of ideas, eager on executing them, but very often at some point of pursuing any given project I feel like one of the motivating elements is lacking and I can’t force myself to continue. Super interesting video and ideas.
One of the best videos I have ever seen. I am so grateful for this video man. Thank you. I immediately feel much more motivated. I felt so lost and now I write down my 5motivation points, analyze them and this already helped me to get better and be more productive.
I know exactly what you're talking about! You've articulated it well! It's always been a challenge, for me, to specifically define these things in myself. Personal environment has a lot to do with this.
Very interesting. I noticed I can get into flow for MMA/BJJ etc and for school only on the early morning hours such as 2am until sunrise. Personal experience tells me the time of day, setting/environment, and rituals assist me as well.❤
This is my second video from Rian Doris and it actually... overburdens me more than I was. I just stopped it before "Mastery" section with one thought: "This is too much for me". The tension in background music. The tension in voice. Pace on which the information is thrown at me is unberable. Don't get me wrong - the things being said here are very interesting and meaningful. I just feel like the video is for some superhuman flow masters with no health issues and no family or finantial problems. As someone not so young, heanthy and free as the Rian makes impression he is, I feel like this video is not for me.
This is the one !!!!!! Lol, this is one of those videos which you watch and just think to yourself "damn, I didn't know that was the thing bothering me for soo long" It's super clear now that I'm going to have to refine these intrinsic drives of mine. Watching this was probably the best spent 25 minutes of my day. Thanks Mr.Dorris, greatly appreciate it💯
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧠 *Understanding Intrinsic Motivation* - Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation: Extrinsic motivation (money, status) is temporary, while intrinsic motivation (curiosity, purpose) sustains motivation. - Intrinsic motivation's power: It's like fusion energy, self-sustaining and efficient, fostering an upward spiral of skill development and accessing Flow State. 03:30 🎯 *Five Intrinsic Motivators* - Curiosity: The insatiable desire to learn; activates dopamine and drives attention and pleasure in learning. - Purpose: Finding meaning beyond oneself in work; leads to greater persistence and boosts oxytocin and serotonin. - Mastery: The pursuit of continuous improvement; releases dopamine and endorphins, fostering a loop of skill improvement. - Autotelic (Audacity): Loving activities for themselves; blurs lines between work and play, key to achieving Flow State. - Autonomy: The feeling of control; enhances focus and positive emotion, driven by a sense of agency in decision-making. 11:18 🚀 *Boosting Intrinsic Motivators* - Curiosity boost: Immediate feedback and leveraging learning lead to a high curiosity motivator. - Mastery elevation: Deliberate practice, skill identification, and seeking challenges foster a strong drive for improvement. - Audacity enhancement: Emphasize strengths over mere interests; strengths trigger flow and foster love for activities. - Purpose alignment: Articulate a clear purpose and connect it with daily tasks to increase motivation and job satisfaction. - Autonomy increase: Design a broader life trajectory, make current roles part of a self-designed journey, and develop "Fu" skills for more options. 21:14 🗝️ *Building Autonomy for Intrinsic Motivation* - Exercising autonomy: Developing autonomy outside of work can mitigate the lack of autonomy at work. - Focus on controllable aspects: Enhance autonomy within the smallest part of your work and allocate time outside work to fully own an activity. - Boosting intrinsic motivators: Elevating one motivator can energize the rest, aiming to increase each by five points yearly. 22:11 🔄 *Balancing Intrinsic Motivators* - Constantly upgrading motivators: Intrinsic motivators may shift based on work requirements or life's natural shifts. - Identifying motivation dips or surges: Understanding intrinsic motivators helps pinpoint reasons for fluctuations in motivation. - Sustaining motivation: Aim to reach and maintain a balanced state of high intrinsic motivation, aligning motivations even during life's turbulence. 23:05 🌟 *Transformation with Intrinsic Motivation* - Increased excitement for work: Elevating intrinsic motivation leads to anticipating work like a child awaiting Christmas morning. - Effortless engagement: Working hard becomes natural and effortless when driven by intrinsic motivation, akin to playing a video game for hours. - Diminished reliance on extrinsic motivation: As intrinsic motivation grows, dependence on external rewards diminishes, leading to an untouchable state of engagement. 24:01 🧘 *Zen-like Engagement with Intrinsic Motivation* - Detached engagement: Growing intrinsic motivation creates a state of detachment from external success metrics while engaging deeply in the work itself. - Autot motivation: Pursuing the experience of the work itself over future rewards or advantages, embodying a monk-like warrior focused on mastery, purpose, audacity, curiosity, and autonomy. - Resistance to suffering: Increasing intrinsic motivation brings immunity to external influences, pursuing intrinsic values over external approval or rewards. Made with HARPA AI
Hands down, best video I've seen all year. So many give the advice of having intrinsic motivation, but no one ever entails what that means or how to get there. I really appreciate what you've shared, and you have a way with words, amazing articulation and vocabulary.
why judge, amazing you watched it. focus on yourself and you will do better. glad its helped you but your way behind in life if you need to say i dont undertand why other people dont watch this when its been great for me. where is your numbers on people that havent fully watched it?????? and good luck in life :) focus on yourself in a good way
I can also identify the joy of creating order (so I like spreadsheets). Or the joy of getting a good overview of figuring sth out so you _understand_ - thing a phone bill, your provider switching mode of invoicing and the payment intervalls (w/o any proper explanation). Figuring out taxes and tax excemptions. (So "creating order, overview and understanding is not the same as curiosity). There is also the reward system that kicks in to drive us to COMPLETE things. (the film industry uses that as cliff hanger). This is when you start with the unloved task of creating order in a desk and after a while find yourself in a cleaning frenzy. There is also the sense of accomplishment of having tackled an unloved task. Letting yourself FEEL the relief when it is done. the joy of ticking off things (from a to do list), creating a spreadsheet, etc. Solving a sudoko or crossword puzzle.
Bro there's alot of people I've listened to on TH-cam... I fact all on productivity... You Alex Homzi, Iman Gadzi etc... But you on another level sh*t wtf bro... God bless you
Rian… I’ve only recently come across you page over the last few weeks and your content is so intriguing! Glad I found you as you have so much knowledge and understanding 🙏

some of us just try to save time so we can overconsume n hoarde other info, but not have a system to apply em to be able to change things due to info overload, FOMO,FOBO. (I'm trying to get outta that rut). - I keep summary N listen while background tasking both. as summaries lack full inspiration,epiphanies,relatability n motivation,ability to convince via a deeper understanding of why behind simple steps as storytelling format does. - BOOKS: that's why people read,re-read or listen,re-listen to books. - DIGITAL HOARDING: n I can hoarde summaries but i wouldn't easily be re-reading them as i can't put em all in a to-do list ,as they're not as interesting esp if i don't organize them well,which i procrastinate on or esp if i think ik it, then forgetting n not acting on them. Esp without prioritizing what I need to improve on first n then adding em to list. - MULTI-FORMATS: so i got both summaries n video so i can re-listen ocassionally till i fully understand or if I forget n it can re-motivate n remind me despite extrinsic motivation, it's deep. So i can re-check in any format if I'm behind on organizing n dreading cluttered notes). - FOCUS: as video is deep n it takes no Multi-tasking or comment distractions while listening to video n focus to get it. Which most don't do, so they copy summaries,it helps but isn't as impactful as storytelling. - INFO OVERLOAD: n most of us wanna save time as we're overdoing the overconsuming to next video than actually applying. But re-listening more high quality stuff lowering on doing too much is what saves time n energy books like slow productivity,rest etc may explain it better. - FOCUS BREAK: i came back to comments n my concentration broke n i was confused so I'll probably re-listen half of it.
I've achieved autonomy in being a father and husband. I work on communication everyday with the intent to work on it until I leave this earth. I have noticed that my relationships improved exponentially and keeps me focused on the complete mastery of communication to change the environment. #BeGreatonPurpose
Wow, nice, happy I found this channel - that was actually one of my first desires to study psychology, I also ended up entrepreneur with education in economy and sociology, later gamification, but what's more important is I've found some of those principles by seeking and meditating, looking at my life - but that's on a different level in terms of depth and categorization in different smaller and more easily understandable topics, so much value , thanks for that! ❤💯
- Intrinsic motivation, which comes from within, is more powerful and sustainable than extrinsic motivation, which comes from external rewards. - The five intrinsic motivators are curiosity, mastery, autotelic purpose, audicity, and autonomy. - By identifying and maximizing these intrinsic motivators, individuals can tap into unstoppable levels of motivation and achieve peak performance.
it has exploded. in only 4 months with 11 videos, it has 70k subs already and pulling hundreds of thousands of views. We can say we were here first when it hits 1M subs 😎
You should waste less time trying to pad your Ego by fishing for likes on stupid TH-cam comments, and work harder on developing basic English competency. 😂
This video is amazing- what all career counsellors need to understand. This is so helpful for understanding why I am not happy in my current job. Thank you Ryan and Team - let’s all strive to get the most out of our time on the planet
Best video on motivation I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched hundreds…this is the type of video you need to get your notebook and pen for. Excellent content, subscribed!
This content and knowledge are amazing, really. However, I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I've been watching and listening to both you and Huberman about these kinds of topics, and I feel like there are so many things that incorporating them into my life feels impossible and unrealistic. And I'm saying that as the most productive and improvement-driven person I know, who also has OCD. I mean, right now I'm alone as my GF is abroad, so it's a bit easier to follow some of these, but I wonder how all these guides to flow state and deep work can actually be fully implemented while having a life, girlfriend, wife, kids, and having to work from an office (and hence, never being able to concentrate on these workdays, etc.) I don't know; the only comments I see are praising ones, which you guys totally deserve, but I wonder if people can really utilize all these overwhelmingly many steps/guides.
I agree with you brother! It's really easy to do these when we're alone or when we are in control. I think that's where our Autonomy is low because we're struggling to find control when things don't go our way because of external relationships. It got me thinking, maybe that's also the reason why Huberman is not in a relationship (as far as I know hehe) he's really in the flow and has all those intrinsic motivations because his Autonomy level is high.
@@maika9659 yeah I mean, I’m doing my best, really, but all these things, that really feels impossible. And Im not even the most “friendly” person, I don’t hang with friends much or with family, and every day of my life is structured in some way, but i still can’t see myself incorporating these things, only of course, part of them, that i gathered. But yeah, I guess that it might only work if you don’t have kids, family, girlfriend/wife…
@@maika9659ideally relationships should increase feelings of autonomy for both people idk at least not feel like the "my wife is a ball and chain" stereotype
I love doing hard things. I have been doing them since forever. But when my sweet heart took a hard hit, my world got crumbled down where my attempt to do hard things got harder as I couldn’t perfectly accomplish and worse, I couldn’t slow down or relax which lead to a burn out !!! My point is adapt according to the emotional changes too !!!
Chief, thanks a ton! I seriously just learnt more in 5min than I ever did from hours of talks by Bob Roth and his whole lot of so called TM champions! And here's the real kicker, u did it for free and I didn't spend $1500-2600 for a mantra!
I love the information and clarity that all of your videos have given me. You really have high intrinsic motivations. It's shown from the quality of this video production: your script copy, relatable storytelling, the background music that boosts excitement, and the fast-paced changing scenes every 5 seconds. As a new marketer that helps holistic evidence-based healthcare service providers, I learn so much from you. Your videos are good inspiration and case studies that science and health can be fun to learn and possible to teach in lay terms. Really looking forward to all your videos. It optimizes my growth in my own marketing business.
Amazing video @riandoris !Thank you!Many modern structures of work are not conducive to the development of those intrinsic motivators. Work was never created to satisfy intrinsic human motivators in the first place. Many people complain for work cause they are constantly asked to conform and comply under no meaningful purpose, doing boring/frustrating tasks, while someone is telling them what to do and when.They do not even bother with curiosity.So applying the wisdom you shared in organizational development, work culture, job design and people management ....those are real challenges. If i want to build a business to create and sell products and/or services for profit and i need to hire people to help me make that profit and i know that people need work in order to pay their bills, how should i design jobs and how should i manage those that i hire in order to keep them motivated in a sustainable way so to be productive enough, so to help me make profit, which is the reason that i hired them?
Best Moments for me with time stamps. Hence I can come back to this video to rewatch my time stamp key points. Intrinsic Mindset 1:28 You lack a specific type of motivation 2:26 intrinsic is from inside. You win with or without an extrinsic reward [Wow]. You play a song to listen and enjoy it, not to wait for it to end. 2:48 intrinsic fuel is fusion = energy from our stars. It everlasts. It works better than extrinsic. It leads to upward spirals. Extrinsic may get you started. But intrinsic keeps you going. Autotelicity 3:30 autotelicity = wow this is a noun 5:37 mastery = do it just enough to get the job done? no. Mastery is the musician who keeps playing after the concert is over. 6:04 autotelicity = Greek = self-purpose 9:46 virtuous flow cycle begins. Being intrinsically motivated means you get into flow and they compound each other. 12:52 Autotelicity = you dont have to, you want to work. It is at the heart of flow state. It is the stand in word for flow. Leverage 15:21 leverage from learning. You learn a new idea. Use it straightaway in next task. 21:58 measure each motivator on a scale of 1 to 10. boost each one up. 23:11 As intrinsic motivation goes up, extrinsic goes down [wow. Purpose of video. How to crave doing hard things? Intrinsic motivation must be higher] Phenomenal Mindset 24:00 Zen Warrior. You have detachment of a monk yet engagement of a warrior. You're detached from trappings of external world, yet obsessed with work itself without being swayed by what others think. You get into a sublime mode of consciousness. This is autotelic motivation. Alliteration Conclusion 24:45 Wow what a way to end the video = Alliteration. Chase mastery over money. Purpose over position. Autotelicity over Applause. Curiosity over Conformity. Autonomy over Approval. Thank you for this excellent video Rian. By taking time stamp notes, this gives me a chance to come back to re-watch my key points. This is the power of TH-cam.
Would cutting out all screen time help with intrinsic motivation? I have a habit of watching videos to help myself but don’t actually execute. I think I get a dopamine hit from watching.
I already was in flow state. It was weird cause I am an IT Engineer. I reach that state when I am programming something listening to hard tech music ultra loud It felt like I was flying I lost any consciousness of what was around and I just programmed and slammed the project But what is weird is that usually hard tech music distracts me when I try to work on something and I don’t feel focused but it is the ultimate flow music for me at the same time
the people who would benefit from this video are the people who will not be able to watch said 25min video, since that is a long time commitment and will probably just get saved into a playlist and forgotten.
Powerful Video. Thanks for sharing. I loved absorbing this content. ❤ If you don't get this video, you're not ready. Autonomy over Approval! Mastering the Flow Cycle. Powerful Video. ❤❤❤
This is freaking awesome! Thank you for this, I probably have not researched enough about this but this is the first time that I hear it laid out like this!
This is so much better than all the motivation videos in my feed. Due to the fact that you can actually get something out and have something you can practically do in the next week to impliment the information I love you content 🙌 19:53
Wow wow wow.. this is probably the best video I’ve ever watched on this subject, beautiful broken down and tbh so much value in such little time.. Thank you so much.. I love the last two minutes of this as well, a true meaning to living in your purpose enjoying the journey not so much chasing the destination and not focused on external validation and status. Thank you soo much ❤️

Brilliant. Never thought of it that way. Thank for the video, enjoyed every second of it! I’m not sure what’s wrong with people and their negative views… this is a video in which a perspective is being offered.
If I hadn’t found intrinsic motivation after understanding such a framework, I would’ve concluded to be intrinsically demotivated, fortunately that’s not the case… loved it.

Rían here. Thanks for watching. Ever feel like you're not living up to your full potential? Like there should be more-more focus, more drive, more achievement? Turns out, there's a specific type of motivation that unlocks all of that...and science shows it's far more powerful than the usual suspects like money, praise, or fame.
With the science-backed techniques in this PDF, you can use this type of motivation to complete a month’s worth of work in less than a day.
Thank you for the extremely detailed video, I don't ordinarily watch 30min videos without pausing, however the points you were bringing were clicking in my head,. I've been there before and I am there right now. I will check out the other video as well, thank you again.
Man, YOU'VE BEEN CHANGING MY LIFE!
I know you just started posting a few months back. But the quality of your videos is insane!
Best content for my pivot years in starting to work on my own.
Amazing editing.
Just.. deep appreciation! ❤
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Best wishes from Triest,
Boštjan
Great great video, I really like your content as a whole please keep it going! Could you please do a video or point out a video on how to do difficult things that you do not feel like doing. You have covered it in this framework, but a deeper dive might be very useful for increasing productivity as day-to-day we often sadly have to do tasks that suck, like the study that you mentioned. Of course, ideally, we can change this over time, but day to day it can be difficult to just get rid of these talks if that makes sense. So a video on how to do these soul-sucking tasks would be amazing.
Can you please make a Playlist for all your videos?
Hi Ryan, in one of your videos you mentioned going to a meditation retreat. Which one did you go to? Can you recommend one? Thanks
Dopamine Enigma Unveiled seriously blew my mind. Learning about dopamine optimization and detox completely changed how I approach productivity and focus. Has anyone else here tried applying these techniques? The section on unlocking peak mental performance was a game-changer for me!
where was that in the video?
There's a book called Hidden Time Wealth, and it talks about how using some secret techniques, you can overcome procrastination and accomplish anything in life. It's not just a bunch of empty promises; it's the real deal.
5 intrinsic motivators that keep you motivated, keep you in the flow state:
1) Curiosity: The insatiable urge to learn, a book you cannot put down.
2) Purpose. You make sacrifices because the work is something you care about/passionate about.
3) Mastery: Pursuit of excellence and continuous improvement, the musician who practices after the concert.
4) Autotelicity: The Love of the work you do it just because you love it even if you did not get paid.
5) Autonomy: The feel of being in control of the when, how, and what of your work.
To sum up:
You need to be in control of a passionate objective in which you want to become supremely accomplished.
All of them rather inachievable in soul-draining corporate job which most people cannot afford to escape.

Finally, a video where how my brain is operating is totally explained. I knew there was more to what I was going through, rather than just being labeled just can’t follow through.
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🧠 There's a hidden motivation switch in the brain stronger than money, praise, or fame.
00:14 🚀 Flow states can be accessed at will, leading to greater productivity and engagement.
00:42 ⏰ Many struggle with procrastination and lack of motivation daily, feeling disappointed at the day's end.
01:25 🔄 The issue is not just a lack of motivation but lacking the right type of motivation.
01:54 ⛽ There are two types of motivation: extrinsic (external rewards) and intrinsic (inner drive). Extrinsic motivation is temporary, while intrinsic is more lasting and self-sustaining.
02:49 🌟 Intrinsic motivation is like fusion energy; it's efficient, self-sustaining, and makes hard tasks feel easy.
03:17 🚀 Extrinsic motivation can jumpstart endeavors, but intrinsic motivation provides the sustained push.
03:30 🔧 To enhance motivation, focus on five intrinsic motivators: curiosity, mastery, autotelic purpose, autonomy, and purpose.
04:27 🧩 Curiosity drives an insatiable need to learn, while purpose provides a deeper meaning to the work.
05:38 🎯 Mastery is the pursuit of excellence; autotelic activities are done for their inherent pleasure.
07:03 🔑 Autonomy provides a sense of control in one's work, ensuring the work feels like one's own.
07:46 🔄 Identifying and aligning intrinsic motivators can lead to significant career and personal shifts.
08:55 💡 When all intrinsic motivators align, they release performance-enhancing neurochemicals and reduce cognitive load.
09:26 🌀 Intrinsic motivators enhance focus and drive, leading to flow states, which further amplify motivation.
09:53 🔄 Intrinsic motivation feeds flow, which in turn feeds back into intrinsic motivation, creating a virtuous cycle of unstoppable drive.
10:08 🚀 Titans of industry like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have sustained motivation for decades due to this cycle.
10:20 🧠 Figures like Einstein and Marie Curie were driven by their intense intrinsic motivations, leading to groundbreaking discoveries.
10:35 🏆 Athletes like Michael Jordan and Serena Williams' achievements highlight the power of intrinsic motivators when maxed out.
11:04 🔍 Curiosity: An urge not just to know but to deeply understand. Where the mind drifts often reveals one's curiosity.
11:46 🎯 Mastery: The endless pursuit of improvement. It's about acquiring new skills and the biochemical pleasure from progression.
12:56 💖 Autotelicity (Audicity): When work feels like play and what you're doing feels like the most important thing.
13:23 🌎 Purpose: Tying your work to a cause or mission greater than yourself, leading to increased persistence and motivation.
14:05 🤲 Autonomy: The sense of ownership and freedom in your tasks. It's about having a say in your actions without external constraints.
14:47 📊 To harness the power of these motivators, identify where you currently stand with each and optimize them.
15:27 📚 Curiosity can be enhanced by seeing direct results from learning and immediate feedback.
16:52 🎼 Mastery requires deliberate practice, pushing oneself to the edge of their comfort zone.
18:01 🎮 For Audicity, focus on what you're naturally good at; strengths lead to flow and eventually love for the activity.
19:10 ❤️ A clear purpose boosts both motivation and job satisfaction. It's crucial to identify tasks that align with one's life mission.
19:24 ✍️ For autonomy, reflect on the degree of freedom and ownership you felt in the past month to evaluate its presence in your life.
19:38 🧠 The feeling of autonomy at work relates to the degree of control and choice one has.
19:52 🔄 Two ways to increase autonomy: perceptual and literal.
20:05 🖼️ Shift your perspective and view current tasks as a stepping stone in a bigger plan.
20:33 📈 Even low-autonomy jobs can be framed as learning opportunities for bigger future goals.
20:47 💪 Gain "Fu autonomy" by acquiring skills, networks, and knowledge that offer flexibility and choice in one's career.
21:14 🏃 Having options boosts confidence, allowing you to leave unsatisfying roles without fear.
21:29 🔍 Concentrate on areas of your work that you can fully control to feel more autonomous.
21:56 📊 Aim to boost each intrinsic motivator and adjust based on life's changes and challenges.
22:25 ❤️ High intrinsic motivation leads to greater work passion, even amidst life's hurdles.
23:05 ⛓️ Relying solely on extrinsic motivation can make you a slave to external rewards and fears.
23:19 🚀 When intrinsic motivation takes over, you're less influenced by external pressures.
23:46 🧘♂️ Strive to become a "Zen Warrior" - detached from externalities but deeply engaged in your work.
24:01 🌊 True motivation arises when you immerse yourself in the flow of work, irrespective of external influences.

Thank you brother..💚
Thanks. Now I don’t need to watch a 25 minute video for something that reads like it could be summarized in under 5 minutes

Thank you

Love this Rian! Purpose is extremely powerful. It took me years to find mine and I attribute my addiction to cheap dopamine to this. When you constantly desenstize your brain with these instant gratification activities, it becomes harder to pick up on the things in your daily life that you actually love to do. Learning to control myself has recovered my brain's reward system and this made me find my purpose. Like you explained in the video, this truly unlocks unlimited motivation. It seems to others like I'm working all day but it feels to me like I'm playing all day.
Thanks for watching.
I've read and loved Steven Kotler's "The Art of Impossible", and this is a brilliant, concise and clear refresher of the motivation stack. It's much easier to have it here, so clearly and succinctly presented, it makes the amazing work you both are doing and sharing with the world even simpler to understand and put into practice. A BIG thank you for sharing your expertise in these content rich and very practical videos. 🙏
Wow, thank you!
Did you actually improve your productivity?
@@dcle944😊
You are probably the only TH-cam channel that made me watch all of your previous videos because every video you do is meaningful. Now I never skip a video because you are the best source of information about productivity there is on TH-cam.
I love “TH-cam University” but this is one of the best videos I’ve seen. Excellent, inspiring, needed as I launch my new biz and working harder than ever. I feel affirmed that my purpose and desire for mastery are high. My curiosity and autonomy fluctuate as I have to learn things I don’t always want to and do often feel under pressure. Autotelicity feels lowest but definitely present at times. Sometimes sheer willpower and discipline + remembering extrinsic motivators are needed to start, then the momentum increases in these intrinsic motivators to keep going.
I almost skipped over this video and I am so grateful I didn't. Amazing context, insight, and advise. I was immediately struck with how I could implement this in myself, my family's life, and for my staff. Thank you for the time spent on this video, it's changed my viewpoint on incentives and productivity as a whole.
me too, so glad youtube suggested this video.
Due to the fact that I’m trying to learn game development and programming this is exactly what I’ve been needing I love programming and creating things sometimes even more then gaming and stuff my main barrier to entry was focus and learning how to work without getting distracted so i can pour myself into what I love to do great videos and needless to say they will be of great use
Haha same here. My main problem is having created all these vast mental worlds but not making that into reality.
You are probably the only TH-cam channel that made me watch all of your previous videos because every video you do is meaningful. Now I never skip a video because you are the best source of information about productivity there is on TH-cam.
I appreciate the support!
I’ve found this channel just yesterday and already watched 4 videos and I love it!
It’s such a profound wisdom packaged in easy to digest form and presented really well. No fluff, no bs. And it comes from a guy who’s into personal development for years upon years and you speak directly to my problems. Sometimes I feel like I have all this potential and I just can’t work. You give me hope to get unstuck in life. Thank you
Great he earned a viewer and you lost your motivation, you're finding dopamine in these videos, go take action
If you are one of those people who thought the video was too long then you still have much work to do.
I am curious and find it fascinating. I saved it to listen again. Rather than wanting it to be shorter, I wanted it to be longer.
If you cannot commit to a relatively short and enlightening commentary you may not have what it takes to even start a goal let alone completing one.
The answer to why you have difficulty is found within the lecture. But first you have to hear it, and really want to. I appreciate the author’s effort and insight. There is much wisdom here.
00:04 There is a hidden brain switch that unlocks unlimited motivation.
02:12 Intrinsic motivation is the key to unlimited motivation.
06:20 Lack of autonomy led to dissatisfaction and decreased motivation in Academia.
08:24 Intrinsic motivators release neurochemicals that enhance focus and drive, leading to flow state.
12:52 Autotelicity, Purpose, and Autonomy are the key intrinsic motivators.
14:55 Identify and leverage your intrinsic motivators in your work.
18:38 Purpose and autonomy are key factors for motivation and job satisfaction.
20:25 Boost autonomy by shaping your life trajectory and acquiring Fu skills, network, and knowledge.
23:53 Develop a zen warrior like trait of detachment and engagement
How are you everywhere

Fu skills? Love it!!
There’s a ridiculous amount of value in your videos. Please keep up! 🔥
Appreciate the support.
finding this channel was like finding gold
Don’t know why so many find this video so good, I think he waffles on and on.
it provides value to a demographic you're not in? pretty simple imo
You most likely cannot resonate it with as it does not help you with your current purpose. You just cannot relate or benefit.
Yeah I feel like the broken down concepts do make sense but he kinda repeats the same things about them with somewhat unrealistic solutions
Yeah like "i had no motivation in academia, but then i used these concepts to build that motivation i needed so much!" Oh yeah, how?! Show me!
"I changed to business!" Oh fvck off
Same...he repeated the same bros science podcast stuff for 25mins...but the title of the video is great, highly clickable

Awesome! Thank you!
I am so glad I came across this video. I was feeling extremely down. Lack of autonomy + negative leadership has gradually brought down other drivers. Work has become so painful that I started having anxiety attacks.
Wow.. I really resonate to this, this really helps me to understand about myself more. Without this, I don't think i can escape the burnt out cycle man. Thanks for the good work.
That's insane! Everything you are saying I experienced in my dreams. And now I am stumbling on the facts and putting together the meaning of things I did not know but subconciously. Vivid dreams are indeed a window, a realm into the human soul. Specially recurring vivid dreams.
It’s very interesting how most of the footage of Rían talking has the camera position portray the footage as a person-person conversation even though the viewer isn’t quite speaking.
This conversation like footage induces a state of micro flow, which is key for the viewer to focus on the video even after watching it. The video was likely designed that way, which is amazing.
Also, happy birthday to Mihály Csíkszentmihályi
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for putting light on the two types of motivators. You put into words what I’ve been observing but didn’t have words for yet . Again, thank you 🙏
im scared and both fasinated by youtube recomendations, of how i always discover what im looking for. seriously im amazed.
its called algorithm buddy
Maybe it's something you wanted, didn't know it existed but now you are most certain you needed it, even tho it's probably not gonna be that only piece that was lacking in your life :(

Rian, you are an absolute Godsend! Thank you so much for creating this.
It’s exactly what I needed to understand. I’m highly purpose driven, but felt stuck in soul-draining jobs which affected my mental health and wellbeing for nearly a decade, so when I say this video really helped me get through my stuck state, it really has.
I’m so grateful you shared this with us. Really interested in this and will look into it further. Thank you once again!
I take notes. You're video's change my course of life day by day.
I feel like you are basically talking about myself here, Rian. I am full of ideas, eager on executing them, but very often at some point of pursuing any given project I feel like one of the motivating elements is lacking and I can’t force myself to continue. Super interesting video and ideas.
Thanks for watching.
This is genuinely one of the best videos I've watched on TH-cam. Brilliant stuff ❤
Thank You Rian .... as someone who clarity driven, this clip is eye opening and helps me so much with my current struggle.
Same here
One of the best videos I have ever seen. I am so grateful for this video man. Thank you. I immediately feel much more motivated. I felt so lost and now I write down my 5motivation points, analyze them and this already helped me to get better and be more productive.
I know exactly what you're talking about! You've articulated it well! It's always been a challenge, for me, to specifically define these things in myself. Personal environment has a lot to do with this.
This is literally the best video I have watched on flow so far, and I've watched A LOT.
You always make the toughest topics easy to follow.
You probably just changed my life Rian.
Did your life change? I mean it has been 8 months since you wrote this comment
Very interesting. I noticed I can get into flow for MMA/BJJ etc and for school only on the early morning hours such as 2am until sunrise. Personal experience tells me the time of day, setting/environment, and rituals assist me as well.❤
Found no motivation to finish this video
Me too!!!
Fr bro 😢
All you gotta do is listen 😂
same I felt like I'm being scammed watching the whole vid it takes too much time so I"ll just look at the summary 🤷♀️
@@Kagumi-you are right. You were being scammed …by yourself.
This is my second video from Rian Doris and it actually... overburdens me more than I was. I just stopped it before "Mastery" section with one thought: "This is too much for me". The tension in background music. The tension in voice. Pace on which the information is thrown at me is unberable.
Don't get me wrong - the things being said here are very interesting and meaningful. I just feel like the video is for some superhuman flow masters with no health issues and no family or finantial problems. As someone not so young, heanthy and free as the Rian makes impression he is, I feel like this video is not for me.
The first 1 minute and 20 seconds described my day, every day.
This is the one !!!!!!
Lol, this is one of those videos which you watch and just think to yourself "damn, I didn't know that was the thing bothering me for soo long"
It's super clear now that I'm going to have to refine these intrinsic drives of mine.
Watching this was probably the best spent 25 minutes of my day.
Thanks Mr.Dorris, greatly appreciate it💯
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🧠 *Understanding Intrinsic Motivation*
- Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation: Extrinsic motivation (money, status) is temporary, while intrinsic motivation (curiosity, purpose) sustains motivation.
- Intrinsic motivation's power: It's like fusion energy, self-sustaining and efficient, fostering an upward spiral of skill development and accessing Flow State.
03:30 🎯 *Five Intrinsic Motivators*
- Curiosity: The insatiable desire to learn; activates dopamine and drives attention and pleasure in learning.
- Purpose: Finding meaning beyond oneself in work; leads to greater persistence and boosts oxytocin and serotonin.
- Mastery: The pursuit of continuous improvement; releases dopamine and endorphins, fostering a loop of skill improvement.
- Autotelic (Audacity): Loving activities for themselves; blurs lines between work and play, key to achieving Flow State.
- Autonomy: The feeling of control; enhances focus and positive emotion, driven by a sense of agency in decision-making.
11:18 🚀 *Boosting Intrinsic Motivators*
- Curiosity boost: Immediate feedback and leveraging learning lead to a high curiosity motivator.
- Mastery elevation: Deliberate practice, skill identification, and seeking challenges foster a strong drive for improvement.
- Audacity enhancement: Emphasize strengths over mere interests; strengths trigger flow and foster love for activities.
- Purpose alignment: Articulate a clear purpose and connect it with daily tasks to increase motivation and job satisfaction.
- Autonomy increase: Design a broader life trajectory, make current roles part of a self-designed journey, and develop "Fu" skills for more options.
21:14 🗝️ *Building Autonomy for Intrinsic Motivation*
- Exercising autonomy: Developing autonomy outside of work can mitigate the lack of autonomy at work.
- Focus on controllable aspects: Enhance autonomy within the smallest part of your work and allocate time outside work to fully own an activity.
- Boosting intrinsic motivators: Elevating one motivator can energize the rest, aiming to increase each by five points yearly.
22:11 🔄 *Balancing Intrinsic Motivators*
- Constantly upgrading motivators: Intrinsic motivators may shift based on work requirements or life's natural shifts.
- Identifying motivation dips or surges: Understanding intrinsic motivators helps pinpoint reasons for fluctuations in motivation.
- Sustaining motivation: Aim to reach and maintain a balanced state of high intrinsic motivation, aligning motivations even during life's turbulence.
23:05 🌟 *Transformation with Intrinsic Motivation*
- Increased excitement for work: Elevating intrinsic motivation leads to anticipating work like a child awaiting Christmas morning.
- Effortless engagement: Working hard becomes natural and effortless when driven by intrinsic motivation, akin to playing a video game for hours.
- Diminished reliance on extrinsic motivation: As intrinsic motivation grows, dependence on external rewards diminishes, leading to an untouchable state of engagement.
24:01 🧘 *Zen-like Engagement with Intrinsic Motivation*
- Detached engagement: Growing intrinsic motivation creates a state of detachment from external success metrics while engaging deeply in the work itself.
- Autot motivation: Pursuing the experience of the work itself over future rewards or advantages, embodying a monk-like warrior focused on mastery, purpose, audacity, curiosity, and autonomy.
- Resistance to suffering: Increasing intrinsic motivation brings immunity to external influences, pursuing intrinsic values over external approval or rewards.

thanks, very detailed and helpful
❤ aww, thanks 🙏
Thanks 🙏
Hands down, best video I've seen all year. So many give the advice of having intrinsic motivation, but no one ever entails what that means or how to get there. I really appreciate what you've shared, and you have a way with words, amazing articulation and vocabulary.
This is just brilliant!! I seriously don't understand why people are lazy to watch the whole thing.. this has been a gold mine for me
why judge, amazing you watched it. focus on yourself and you will do better. glad its helped you but your way behind in life if you need to say i dont undertand why other people dont watch this when its been great for me. where is your numbers on people that havent fully watched it?????? and good luck in life :) focus on yourself in a good way
i didnt like the lazy bit by the way hahaha
I can also identify the joy of creating order (so I like spreadsheets). Or the joy of getting a good overview of figuring sth out so you _understand_ - thing a phone bill, your provider switching mode of invoicing and the payment intervalls (w/o any proper explanation). Figuring out taxes and tax excemptions. (So "creating order, overview and understanding is not the same as curiosity). There is also the reward system that kicks in to drive us to COMPLETE things. (the film industry uses that as cliff hanger). This is when you start with the unloved task of creating order in a desk and after a while find yourself in a cleaning frenzy.
There is also the sense of accomplishment of having tackled an unloved task.
Letting yourself FEEL the relief when it is done.
the joy of ticking off things (from a to do list), creating a spreadsheet, etc. Solving a sudoko or crossword puzzle.
I must say, this is pure gold.
Thanks for watching.
Bro there's alot of people I've listened to on TH-cam... I fact all on productivity... You Alex Homzi, Iman Gadzi etc... But you on another level sh*t wtf bro... God bless you
Why dont you write a book ? My life is completly changing by applying the things i have learnd from your youtube videos .
Rian… I’ve only recently come across you page over the last few weeks and your content is so intriguing! Glad I found you as you have so much knowledge and understanding 🙏
0:00 Intro
1:38 Upgrade your fuel source --> External (Worse), Internal (Better)
3:25 5 inner motivators -->
4:18 11:15 Curiosity (Feeling of needing to know)
4:51 13:22 Purpose (What you impact)
5:28 11:58 Mastery (Want to improve every day)
5:56 12:50 Autotelicity (To like the activity itself)
7:03 14:08 Autonomy (feeling in control of your work)
14:51 Identify where you stand on each inner motivator
15:13 Boost curiosity --> After learning something apply it in a usefull way
16:26 Boost mastery --> Identify all skills and sub skills that will help in your goal and learn them
17:16 Boost Autotelicity --> Don't focus on what you like to do, focus on what you are good at
18:41 Boost Purpose --> Does the work you do have a glimmer of purpose you can follow? If not switch work. If yes, put the purpose in 1 sentence and connect everything you do in the work to that sentence.
19:35 Boost Autonomy --> 1. Find a bigger purpose in your work 2. Gain skills to apply it anywhere you want
21:48 How to start --> Give each a value of 1-10 and level up the lowest
One inner motivator i miss is.. belive. If you don't belive in what you do, it is really hard to get motiavted
who needs time stamps anyway when everything is worth hearing?

- BOOKS: that's why people read,re-read or listen,re-listen to books.
- DIGITAL HOARDING: n I can hoarde summaries but i wouldn't easily be re-reading them as i can't put em all in a to-do list ,as they're not as interesting esp if i don't organize them well,which i procrastinate on or esp if i think ik it, then forgetting n not acting on them. Esp without prioritizing what I need to improve on first n then adding em to list.
- MULTI-FORMATS: so i got both summaries n video so i can re-listen ocassionally till i fully understand or if I forget n it can re-motivate n remind me despite extrinsic motivation, it's deep. So i can re-check in any format if I'm behind on organizing n dreading cluttered notes).
- FOCUS: as video is deep n it takes no Multi-tasking or comment distractions while listening to video n focus to get it. Which most don't do, so they copy summaries,it helps but isn't as impactful as storytelling.
- INFO OVERLOAD: n most of us wanna save time as we're overdoing the overconsuming to next video than actually applying. But re-listening more high quality stuff lowering on doing too much is what saves time n energy books like slow productivity,rest etc may explain it better.
- FOCUS BREAK: i came back to comments n my concentration broke n i was confused so I'll probably re-listen half of it.
I've achieved autonomy in being a father and husband. I work on communication everyday with the intent to work on it until I leave this earth. I have noticed that my relationships improved exponentially and keeps me focused on the complete mastery of communication to change the environment. #BeGreatonPurpose
I have ADHD. I do not have to force my brain to do hard things. I have to force it to do easy things.
Same bro
I struggle with ADHD AS WELL
Get meds. Helped a friend of mine
Then what are doing here,go watch something that tell you to do things easily.
Mee to, I started reading again and even tho I like it it's still difficult reading every day
Wouldn't you then be able to argue that the "hard things" are actually "easy things", and it's the reverse for the other way too?
Thank you for all the info you give for free here! Really helpful 🙏 love from India ❤
You're so welcome!
This is the most intricately worded and interesting video i've seen on TH-cam to date. Drive keeps you alive and wakes you up every day.
Respect for the depth of information you put into this video! Very high quality! Keep going on! 🔥
Wow, nice, happy I found this channel - that was actually one of my first desires to study psychology, I also ended up entrepreneur with education in economy and sociology, later gamification, but what's more important is I've found some of those principles by seeking and meditating, looking at my life - but that's on a different level in terms of depth and categorization in different smaller and more easily understandable topics, so much value , thanks for that! ❤💯
- Intrinsic motivation, which comes from within, is more powerful and sustainable than extrinsic motivation, which comes from external rewards.
- The five intrinsic motivators are curiosity, mastery, autotelic purpose, audicity, and autonomy.
- By identifying and maximizing these intrinsic motivators, individuals can tap into unstoppable levels of motivation and achieve peak performance.
How has this channel not exploaded yet? truely spectacular content!
it has exploded. in only 4 months with 11 videos, it has 70k subs already and pulling hundreds of thousands of views. We can say we were here first when it hits 1M subs 😎
Thank you for watching.
Guys y is everyone attacking me for my grammar.....Anyway Work hard guys or "STAY HARD"
He's a rotten person. Trust me.
What kind of sentence is this
I saw that Huberman podcast recommended right under his comment. So not sure if this was on purpose.
You should waste less time trying to pad your Ego by fishing for likes on stupid TH-cam comments, and work harder on developing basic English competency. 😂
I saw no boilerplate's obsidian video under this, although i had already watched it before
Wow man like how this is 25 minutes of videos but i feel like i was just watching for 3 minutes, i love this video man❤
I like that you talk fast and don’t blabber useless words in between information. Keep this up.
This is gold....
You are Gold....
Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for this🙏 Every single person needs to know this and the way you explain it is pure perfection ❤️
This video is amazing- what all career counsellors need to understand. This is so helpful for understanding why I am not happy in my current job. Thank you Ryan and Team - let’s all strive to get the most out of our time on the planet
Thanks for watching.
So fucking funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best video on motivation I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched hundreds…this is the type of video you need to get your notebook and pen for. Excellent content, subscribed!
This content and knowledge are amazing, really.
However, I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I've been watching and listening to both you and Huberman about these kinds of topics, and I feel like there are so many things that incorporating them into my life feels impossible and unrealistic. And I'm saying that as the most productive and improvement-driven person I know, who also has OCD.
I mean, right now I'm alone as my GF is abroad, so it's a bit easier to follow some of these, but I wonder how all these guides to flow state and deep work can actually be fully implemented while having a life, girlfriend, wife, kids, and having to work from an office (and hence, never being able to concentrate on these workdays, etc.)
I don't know; the only comments I see are praising ones, which you guys totally deserve, but I wonder if people can really utilize all these overwhelmingly many steps/guides.
I agree with you brother! It's really easy to do these when we're alone or when we are in control. I think that's where our Autonomy is low because we're struggling to find control when things don't go our way because of external relationships. It got me thinking, maybe that's also the reason why Huberman is not in a relationship (as far as I know hehe) he's really in the flow and has all those intrinsic motivations because his Autonomy level is high.
@@maika9659 yeah I mean, I’m doing my best, really, but all these things, that really feels impossible.
And Im not even the most “friendly” person, I don’t hang with friends much or with family, and every day of my life is structured in some way, but i still can’t see myself incorporating these things, only of course, part of them, that i gathered.
But yeah, I guess that it might only work if you don’t have kids, family, girlfriend/wife…
It starts with intention
@@maika9659ideally relationships should increase feelings of autonomy for both people idk at least not feel like the "my wife is a ball and chain" stereotype
Same here!
I love doing hard things. I have been doing them since forever. But when my sweet heart took a hard hit, my world got crumbled down where my attempt to do hard things got harder as I couldn’t perfectly accomplish and worse, I couldn’t slow down or relax which lead to a burn out !!! My point is adapt according to the emotional changes too !!!
Chief, thanks a ton! I seriously just learnt more in 5min than I ever did from hours of talks by Bob Roth and his whole lot of so called TM champions! And here's the real kicker, u did it for free and I didn't spend $1500-2600 for a mantra!
I love the information and clarity that all of your videos have given me.
You really have high intrinsic motivations.
It's shown from the quality of this video production: your script copy, relatable storytelling, the background music that boosts excitement, and the fast-paced changing scenes every 5 seconds.
As a new marketer that helps holistic evidence-based healthcare service providers, I learn so much from you.
Your videos are good inspiration and case studies that science and health can be fun to learn and possible to teach in lay terms.
Really looking forward to all your videos. It optimizes my growth in my own marketing business.
Amazing video @riandoris !Thank you!Many modern structures of work are not conducive to the development of those intrinsic motivators. Work was never created to satisfy intrinsic human motivators in the first place. Many people complain for work cause they are constantly asked to conform and comply under no meaningful purpose, doing boring/frustrating tasks, while someone is telling them what to do and when.They do not even bother with curiosity.So applying the wisdom you shared in organizational development, work culture, job design and people management ....those are real challenges. If i want to build a business to create and sell products and/or services for profit and i need to hire people to help me make that profit and i know that people need work in order to pay their bills, how should i design jobs and how should i manage those that i hire in order to keep them motivated in a sustainable way so to be productive enough, so to help me make profit, which is the reason that i hired them?
Appreciate the support.
Best Moments for me with time stamps. Hence I can come back to this video to rewatch my time stamp key points.
Intrinsic Mindset
1:28 You lack a specific type of motivation
2:26 intrinsic is from inside. You win with or without an extrinsic reward [Wow]. You play a song to listen and enjoy it, not to wait for it to end.
2:48 intrinsic fuel is fusion = energy from our stars. It everlasts. It works better than extrinsic. It leads to upward spirals. Extrinsic may get you started. But intrinsic keeps you going.
Autotelicity
3:30 autotelicity = wow this is a noun
5:37 mastery = do it just enough to get the job done? no. Mastery is the musician who keeps playing after the concert is over.
6:04 autotelicity = Greek = self-purpose
9:46 virtuous flow cycle begins. Being intrinsically motivated means you get into flow and they compound each other.
12:52 Autotelicity = you dont have to, you want to work. It is at the heart of flow state. It is the stand in word for flow.
Leverage
15:21 leverage from learning. You learn a new idea. Use it straightaway in next task.
21:58 measure each motivator on a scale of 1 to 10. boost each one up.
23:11 As intrinsic motivation goes up, extrinsic goes down [wow. Purpose of video. How to crave doing hard things? Intrinsic motivation must be higher]
Phenomenal Mindset
24:00 Zen Warrior. You have detachment of a monk yet engagement of a warrior.
You're detached from trappings of external world, yet obsessed with work itself without being swayed by what others think.
You get into a sublime mode of consciousness.
This is autotelic motivation.
Alliteration Conclusion
24:45 Wow what a way to end the video = Alliteration.
Chase mastery over money.
Purpose over position.
Autotelicity over Applause.
Curiosity over Conformity.
Autonomy over Approval.
Thank you for this excellent video Rian. By taking time stamp notes, this gives me a chance to come back to re-watch my key points. This is the power of TH-cam.
Would cutting out all screen time help with intrinsic motivation? I have a habit of watching videos to help myself but don’t actually execute. I think I get a dopamine hit from watching.
Same here...
This video is the most powerful video I have watched in my entire life. Thank you! I can already feel the change I was looking for in my life. Thanks!
I already was in flow state. It was weird cause I am an IT Engineer. I reach that state when I am programming something listening to hard tech music ultra loud
It felt like I was flying I lost any consciousness of what was around and I just programmed and slammed the project
But what is weird is that usually hard tech music distracts me when I try to work on something and I don’t feel focused but it is the ultimate flow music for me at the same time
Felt the same 100%
His vocabulary is impeccable.
This might be the best discovery of 2024, thank you Rian for your contribution.
the people who would benefit from this video are the people who will not be able to watch said 25min video, since that is a long time commitment and will probably just get saved into a playlist and forgotten.
Powerful Video. Thanks for sharing. I loved absorbing this content. ❤ If you don't get this video, you're not ready. Autonomy over Approval! Mastering the Flow Cycle. Powerful Video. ❤❤❤
wish i hade the motivation to watch the whole video
This is freaking awesome! Thank you for this, I probably have not researched enough about this but this is the first time that I hear it laid out like this!
Can you discuss about how to make a plan of actions?
Thank you so much!!
Yes please!
This video is insane and can trigger flow state itself. This has massive information packed in it
I am going to apply this for 30 days and then post here what changes have come
so not many days left, keep i there!
keep us updated! ❤
How is it going?
I would like an update, I hope u kept strong 💪
Let us know! ✨
How are you feeling now? Did you end up keeping up with the challenge
Hey how its going
This is so much better than all the motivation videos in my feed.
Due to the fact that you can actually get something out and have something you can practically do in the next week to impliment the information
I love you content 🙌 19:53
Love your channel
Wow wow wow.. this is probably the best video I’ve ever watched on this subject, beautiful broken down and tbh so much value in such little time.. Thank you so much.. I love the last two minutes of this as well, a true meaning to living in your purpose enjoying the journey not so much chasing the destination and not focused on external validation and status. Thank you soo much ❤️

Brilliant. Never thought of it that way. Thank for the video, enjoyed every second of it!
I’m not sure what’s wrong with people and their negative views… this is a video in which a perspective is being offered.
at 2:19 I was done
If I hadn’t found intrinsic motivation after understanding such a framework, I would’ve concluded to be intrinsically demotivated, fortunately that’s not the case… loved it.
This video was motivational in and of itself 🤩 this was exactly the energy and the information I needed today, thank you! 🙏🏻
Hearing my native accent on TH-cam is always refreshing!
i can not belive the level of value i just got from this video this video needs more attention
Sooo, to motivate myself to get off the couch and take care of my yard, I need to start a landscaping business?
