Dan Ariely Ted Talk - What Motivates Us at Work?

Ariely is a leading behavioral economist.  He describes a variety of experiments about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.  The video is interesting in the way these ideas are deconstructed.  It should be noted that in all the experiments, it is the experimenter who tasks the participant with the work.  I believe there is substantial motivation to be found in self-tasking.  I hope we get to talk about that later in the semester.
