Motivation and Desire
A New Way to Think About Why We do Everything and its Basis in Neuroscience
Gebonden Engels 2022 9783031104763Samenvatting
Some of our time is spent eating and drinking and some is spent on matters regarding reproduction. Some of us seek fame or recognition while others seek satisfaction internally, with little need for recognition. Some people study for success in a profession, while others might study rocks, birds, or French literature simply to learn and understand. Why are we motivated to engage in so many disparate activities? This book places our various activities into categories, thus providing a framework for understanding how everything that we do fits together and is based on brain mechanisms. The unique aspect of this book is that it relates motivation theory to activities of daily life. Moreover, disturbances in motivation are involved in autism, depression, Parkinson's disease, and addiction. Understanding the motivational aspects of these disorders can help to inform our approach to these conditions. This book may be of value for students in psychology, counseling, management, and anyone who is interested in understanding human behavior.
