About the Authors

If you observe the people around you, some may appear to be highly driven and motivated, while others may seem to be apathetic and less motivated in what they are doing. The ability to be motivated and sustain that motivation is a vital life skill to master, as it is an essential pillar that underpins successful goal achievement and happiness in our lives. This book is written by a university professor and a medical doctor, both well-established professionals who have successfully applied these motivation mastery principles to excel in their student years, professional careers, and personal life. This book provides you with a clear roadmap and scaffolded approach that empowers you to:

• Gain valuable insights into your current state of personal motivation
• Distinguish the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
• Identify and overcome the demotivating roadblocks that are holding you back
• Acquire practical strategies to become motivated and stay highly energised and focused

When you fully realise the nuances of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and harness their powerful forces, you will find yourself equipped with the relevant strategies that will enable you to be highly energised and much more positively driven than ever before. This will motivate you to work towards accomplishing your goals effectively and efficiently, and live a fulfilling life filled with purpose, clarity, and happiness.
