On this episode I'm joined by psychology professor and researcher at the University of Missouri, Ken Sheldon. Ken focuses on a few of my favorite subjects in his research, namely that of personality, motivation, goals, happiness, and well-being. He’s also a leading researcher on the self-determination theory, arguably the world’s leading theory on motivation. Amongst other things, this theory posits that humans have three fundamental psychological needs: that of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. In this episode we explore questions around this theory and others (like the Goal Breakthrough Theory) that Ken is working on, with an emphasis on how these models relate to happiness, AI, free will, modern society, and more. Find out more about Ken at psychology.missouri.edu/people/sheldon or get his book on Free Will via Amazon
