Welcome to episode #827 of Six Pixels of Separation.
Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #827 - Host:
Mitch Joel. Is there an actual science to motivation? Can that
science be understood in a world where there are so many hucksters
push "motivation" with snake oil-like magnitude? Please meet
Ayelet Fishbach, the
Jeffrey Breakenridge Keller Professor of Behavioral Science and
Marketing and IBM Corporation Faculty Scholar at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
Ayelet studies social psychology, management and consumer behavior.
She is an expert on motivation and decision making. She has
presented her research all over the world. Ayelet has served as an
Associate Editor on several journals, including Psychological Science
and the Journal of
Personality and Social Psychology, and she has served on the

She has further served as the president of the International Social
Cognition Network and the Society for the Study of
Motivation. She is the recipient of several international
awards, including the Society of
Experimental Social Psychology's Best Dissertation Award,

Award. In 2006, she received the Provost's Teaching Award from the
University of Chicago. Most recently, Ayelet published her first
book, Get It Done -
Surprising Lessons From The Science of Motivation, that
presents a new theoretical framework for self-motivated action,
explaining how to identify the right goals, attack the “middle

and so much more. Enjoy the conversation...
