The Quiet Life Episode 28: Intrinsic Motivation with Sharath Jeevan

On this weeks episode Michael talks to Sharath Jeevan, Founder of Intrinsic labs and a leading expert in intrinsic motivation. Listen in as they chat about finding our inner drive and building a life where we can feel fulfilled without the need for external gratification, a subject many of us struggle with, whether at work or at home. A gentle conversation about finding your way in life, and remembering the importance of finding moments of joy and happiness in each day. Sharath is one of the world’s leading experts on how to practically re-ignite the inner-drive, or intrinsic motivation in our lives. He is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Intrinsic Labs, and his work has been featured in the likes of The New York Times, The Economist, CNN, National Public Radio and The Times of India. He gained first hand experience in the field through founding STiR Education in 2012. STiR represents the world’s largest initiative to improve intrinsic motivation - in this case in education. Through partnerships with governments and leading donors, it has grown from supporting 12 schools in 2012 to over 35,000 schools today, across India, Africa and South East Asia and has helped over 200,000 teachers and 6 million children. Connect with Sharath on LinkedIn or visit intrinsic-labs.com.
