What makes us feel good about our work? | Dan Ariely

[@othmane-mezian]

I personally wish success and happiness for you and anyone reading this! You WILL overcome your tribulations by remaining that GREAT person that you are! I KNOW it! Just keep going.

[@leovpa4436]

Thank you brother...💓

[@theworklifehub398]

We loved this sentence from Dan "By getting people to work harder, you actually got them to love what they're doing into a higher degree". Great video and thought-provoking ideas on "meaning" "efficiency" "talent".

[@riccardoconte6155]

unfortunately they found out he faked his research, faking his data 😅

[@EmilySokolow]

Love the origami experiment. Working harder on something more complicated and finishing it successfully instills feelings of pride, accomplishment and attachment. To those disconnected, it's simply not interesting.

[@rhondah1587]

Excellent talk. I've been saying much the same thing for years but people just look at me like I'm nuts. Glad to see another who thinks like I do and even has evidence to show how it actually works. I told my old boss years ago he could be away with paying me less if he was just a bit more appreciative of my efforts. He didn't get it then or ever.

[@h0tie]

I learned so much from this talk and began to see things of higher value makes you more appreciative of it! Putting your thought into what little things people do is what makes you and them find meaning to be together for a purpose

[@nO_d3N1AL]

Ariely's talk are always fascinating. Good things to know, and so broad that almost anyone can relate to them

[@ShivamAgarwal404]

The most awesome talk. I worked for a company and felt like in the situation with the shredder. Beautifully explained !!!

[@pppinto97]

Fucking worse. Hope you're alright now

[@HugDealer]

Prof Ariely is one of the best psychology researchers in my opinion. He is just so awesome and his research so practical and insightful!

[@UrTotallyPro]

I really like these TEDtalks.... i feel smarter after watching them.

[@vansbakery]

I had this one class at this community college where we're given the task to write a report and create a presentation within 2 weeks. It's a group work and worth about 30% of our final mark. We put full effort into it putting at least 20 hours of work every week. We submitted our report and presented in front of the class, after a few days or so we have gotten our marks and our report back. One thing we noticed is that our written report wasn't checked at all and we are marked based on our presentation. We had the same teacher the next semester, the attendance of the class decreases as weeks goes by and students seem to care less about the projects and assignment that his giving as they're not being evaluated.

[@pppinto97]

Pretty obvious

[@4thlineforlife]

I'd really like to meet Dan Ariely. The guy is so wise

[@shyi1242]

Go to Duke and pick him up!

[@iesika7387]

If you want people to build many more toys for less to no compensation, instead of taking the toy apart at the end, have them hand it to a child. Actually making something someone else is going to use, actually providing a service someone needs or wants, is a huge factor in how fulfilling a job is. So many of our businesses don't actually add any real value to anyone's life, and that's more depressing than anything. I was a lot more proud of my work when I made tombstones than selling software that people can use to sell software to other people who want to sell software, even though I'm making twice as much money.

[@andrineslife]

I really relate to the ignored = shredded thing, when teachers give you homework, and then ignores it, and just carries on with class, I get really demotivated to do it next time.

[@SophieLaF0ntaine]

Around 7:50... there is an exception...that is, IF I am building something for the sole purpose of having a toddler nephew destroy it (for the pure joy of the destruction) - I can build many many bionicles while watching him destroy with great joy the one I just built. The exception is if there is meaning in the destruction.

[@katjathesaurus3800]

toddlers can. bigger men just do bigger distruction or constraction. ... just dont fn go on future territory, old timer

[@kenmas93]

This video really resonates with how I feel in college right now... I would try harder if I felt that there was more continuity to my school work.

[@RainerGrau]

Nice TEC talk by Dan Ariely about what motivates to put effort and engagement into something - thanks Richards for sending the link.

[@JasmineTrotter118]

I loved this! The cake mix experiment was on point !

[@hemchandrankannan5303]

I'm Watching this as a feature of my college assigment.I loved this sentence from Dan "By getting individuals to work more earnestly, you really got them to adore what they're doing into a higher degree". Extraordinary video and provocative thoughts on "signifying" "proficiency" "ability". Indeed, this practically covers the manufacturing plant working knowledge however no uncertainty it reaches out to each workplace.And you know, Ariely just tended to a solitary case made by Marx. He didn't guarantee that everything Marx said is correct or that Communism is the best approach. Because Carl Marx said it doesn't mean it definitely prompts Communism. Loved the origami test. Working more enthusiastically on something increasingly confused and completing it effectively ingrains sentiments of pride, achievement and connection. To those disengaged, it's basically not intriguing. Finally,this video really resonates with how I feel in college right now... I would try harder if I felt that there was more continuity to my school work.

[@yellowcat25]

Any Coursera students? Love Dan Ariely, freaking brilliant man!

[@bwilks271]

Another fantastic and thought provoking presentation Dan! Thanks!!

[@dreaminginnoother]

what I have gotten from this talk 1. It makes sense that even though I have poured countless hours into music, other people's lack of care for it has led me to feel like quitting 2. Since I made it I probably thought it was way better than it really was anyway fml

[@BlairWarner]

I think it can depend on personality. Some people have to have meaning to their work, and some have to have joy (or, enjoy it). I do agree, though, that most need to have a purpose.

[@zebrazrok]

The idea that someone sees more worth in something they created based off of their work and not actual value it reminds of etsy. I've seen some pretty Overpriced ugly and cheap pieces. It's all a matter of how you look at things. This may be one o my favorite Ted talks to date :)

[@1991araaron]

Boy Im thankful this medium that is TED

[@Ibakecookiess]

this speaker is fantastic. I strongly recommend his other talks.

[@dumbobg]

Interestingly enough, I have an exam in Organisational studies next month and I was supposed to study about it, but ended up watching a TED lecture about the same subject :D

[@yoshihisaokada4039]

"Little Prince" says exactly the same thing. I'm surprised how wise Saint-Exupery was.

[@siddharthr7142]

Having made 6 career changes over the last decade, this resonates so much with my thoughts on today's Great Resignation!

[@nabeelhakeem3593]

Why?

[@l0vablelinda]

I'm sorry that I quit watching this video a while back because my internet disconnected. insightful experiments and talk.

[@casperbadenhorst1679]

The cake story hammers home! Excellent talk!

[@BarkelsLifts]

i love his talks. his research is genius.

[@iShallEatChips]

Watching this as part of school assigment...

For me it's my quiz 😅

[@HarindermintyModelTownldh]

one minded approach is the real work dear.. if v r multitasking -no good results + no entertainment ..just focus and do ur best and make it less complicated to understand.......

[@hayeder]

The new opening sequence is WAY better.

[@PokeMePT]

17:37 the man with the brown jacket on the bottom left is clearly very captivated by dan's presentation!

[@davidhalifax]

work that has meaning, what a concept !

[@janiesuper3222]

14:25 i always wondered about that!!! thanks for this video now i can explain alot of why i get unmotivated sometimes

[@leeray1876]

we always feel confused about life,but life continue,and history goes on

[@Sal1981]

Every economist should watch this vid, and more than once, so the ideas stick.

[@Timothymukansi]

I love Dan's talks

[@doub1eU]

I was definitely oversimplifying in my frustration towards the comment i was responding to, because I definitely agree with you; that is probably a more accurate characterization of the root of the problem regarding America's partisan politics. I think nothing is more ironic than George Washington's warning that a party system would be the downfall of the U.S.

[@PetyaKirisheva]

It really is one of the best courses I've attended on Coursera so far :)

[@andrewmanford]

wow that's an awesome way to put it. great comment, thanks.

[@fmichaela99]

He's so right.That was amazing!!!

[@petestrat07]

Yup, this pretty much covers the factory working experience though no doubt it extends to every workplace.

[@plalash]

I always enjoy the talk of Dan...as he gives the real fact with experimental examples, that is the more iconic one to relate all this.. vary clearly.

[@symethyang08]

Hahaha, funny. I got emotional watching this video. I almost cried because, in reality, this always happened. great video

[@infiniteexo3209]

Watching this as a part of my psychiatric nursing book.

[@hsien-lienhuang3217]

really meaningful lecture

[@Rebasepoiss]

Another excellent talk by Dan Ariely. This guy is amazing :)

[@LeRoiJojo]

Dan is tha man!

[@srinivasanj929]

Wow, its beautiful explained between Efficiency and Meaning ..Great examples..

[@silverchairsg]

I can absolutely picture the Bionicle in-universe villian Makuta Teridax doing the Sisyphus thing to his enemies.

[@JavierAguirreCHEF]

I love what i do! plus the money is good!

[@madelinewhite9501]

What do you do?

[@ARTEllipsepaintings]

This is good... more efforts to something creates love and liking

[@GustavoLeig]

Money isn´t everything but it´s 100%

[@dchangebegins]

This wil reduce corruption..vey sure! Last 10 minutes was vey good.

[@matt84768]

I think is the video casey neistat was talking about 11/2/2016

[@ahtahs9]

Matt C came here because of Casey too

[@MarufHossain-ft5iv]

haha

[@cnl1213]

Just saw his documentary on Dishonesty on Netflix too, that's quite good also.

[@ahmed.unshur]

Great Talk.

[@srimansrini]

Dan Ariely gives interesting study about the human nature. A wonderful talk connected behavioral economics and very relevant. A very interesting study about the factors behind motivation. It's not money...honey....

[@tinayip1220]

Open School ac

[@Ocasek77]

thanks

[@fernandoakiraendo]

I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you!

[@ShredEngineerPhD]

Finally the intro doesn't wreck my ears anymore!

[@ftrecordingstudio4034]

Mentioned this in Colindale

[@ryankingham948]

I read this guy's book it was great

[@HigherPlanes]

I want it all!

[@rothriss8157]

this was a really great talk

[@RamanisHinduChannel]

To improve efficiency and derive pleasure out of work is to change the mind-set into one of detached attachment. An action that is performed is non action when there is no involvement or motivation. An action that is performed with the results in mind are Actions, which may cause disappointments when one is not appreciated or the work is destroyed. Non action is an action is one where one performs an action or work because it has to be done without bothering about the consequences .

[@VomitTidalwave]

digging a hole and filling it in over and over.... reminds me of the military...

[@PokeMePT]

let me just also point out that i actually don't plan on staying in the UK, i'm going to do a placement year in a private equity firm in portugal next year. I could have got a better paid placement in the UK in terms of salary but working in private equity will give me so many more benefits than the salary that it isn't even something i take into consideration right now

[@vl2378]

"by getting people to work harder, you get them to enjoy what they're doing to a higer degree"

[@Rarae192]

Well, there's a really simple explanation to that paradox. You see, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, the faster you go, the heavier you get, and when you go really fast time slows down. Now, some people in Japan watch KZbin whilst riding on high-speed rail systems and are able to register their likes before KZbin back here in Neverland has time to even accept that they watched the video at all. Of course, they merely watched it in the future. Hope that clears things up. Cheers.

[@MendigoLouco]

I suggest you all to join his course at Coursera, it's awesome.

[@rossplendent]

Man, those were so awesome!

[@TehWit]

Very interesting, I need to get my hands on managers' brains so I can teach them some =)

[@JunoKuno]

are there any ted talks about how to get motivated? I know that once you start, it feels good to work hard. but what if it's a huge long term project that isnt fun but is important. what do you do to start that project? how do you motivate yourself?

[@OurNewestMember]

Cathy Kuang : attempt different projects.

[@SantiagoDebus]

17:37 me next to the hairless guy

[@pratyushlal7256]

Fantastic!!

[@funkyasl]

Very interesting video. Had me glued till the end.

[@midnitexstar]

Brilliant.

[@400djr]

Awesome, thanks Dan

[@floatingapple]

Whenever i cook it always feel like it tasted better :)

[@0MoTheG]

Writing papers and tests for university makes me feel just this way.

[@Quotesyuj]

Structuring a world/universe/multiverse to coexist and cohabit without money wouldn't that be a boon and a blessing?

[@Ndo01]

Wow this explains a lot. Dan Ariely is amazing.

[@prashanthb6521]

Very good info. Thanks a lot.

[@HigherPlanes]

What a downer when you put it that way

people dont need money as motivation. money habs existed for about 2000 years so its a new invention. we have been working hard without it for 100s of thousands of years without it. we have made great things in the last few thousands because by traveling more (and conquering, sadly) we started to speak the same languages. the teamwork that we are capable of now is better so tech got better. money doesnt mean anything. we need it to survive in this world order but as anyone who has ever studies anthropology will tell you there are an infinite amount of ways of organizing the world this is just one

[@Xelaju16]

The thing is not everyone enjoys mount climbing, but rather a majority enjoy drinking mojitos on a beach.

[@HigherPlanes]

Haha...yup...nice to see another Joe Rogan fan...when I heard him say that phrase it just stuck in my mind and now I can't stop trolling people with it. lol

[@ybefutile]

Great talk!

[@IStoleMyLicense]

I never said that. But you are right, the product is called "LEGO". Legos are the pieces. You can most definitely say legos when you mean LEGO-pieces. It's just a shorter version.

[@frankthetank130]

For the record, most of this guys research has been found to be fabricated , fake or downright false

[@Spaceisprettybig]

Anyone who has worked in hollywood already knows ALL of this... recognition "fame" is a powerful incentive.

[@warcraftfreeky]

That was awesome.

[@CourtneyCoulson]

Hells yes, Bionicles! Oh and good talk too I guess. Oh nostalgia.

[@rc....]

15:30 parents feel the same way

[@jbiemans77]

A little dry in the presentation, but quite an interesting concept. It really makes me think.
