Video Title: The psychology of self-motivation | Scott Geller | TEDxVirginiaTech

Channel: TEDx Talks

Ever find yourself scrolling through motivational videos instead of actually being motivated? Well, you might want to pause your procrastination playlist for Scott Geller’s TEDxVirginiaTech talk on 'The Psychology of Self-Motivation'. It's not just another pep talk; it's a deep dive into the science of getting things done, delivered by a man who could probably motivate a snail to sprint. With over 12 million views, this video is a cocktail of psychology, encouragement, and real-life applications, shaken not stirred, with a splash of academic flair. Geller, with the enthusiasm of a televangelist minus the hairdo, discusses how self-motivation is not just about pumping yourself up but understanding the underlying psychology of why we do what we do. From competence to consequences, he covers it all. However, as riveting as Geller's insights are, the video's format is classic TEDx—meaning if you're allergic to the educational talk format, you might find it a tad formulaic. But, don't let the traditional setup fool you; the content is as fresh as the morning brew. Whether you're a student, a professional, or a hermit, there's something in it for everyone—unless you're looking for car chases. Then you're in the wrong place.
