In this episode, Luke Ng shows us the similarities between playing video games and motivation.

One theory that helps us understand how we are motivated is -- Deci and Ryan's Self Determination Theory. 

This theory states that all of us are motivated by 3 needs. The 3 needs are:

-  Autonomy

-  Competence

-  Relatedness

If we understand how an individual is motivated by the different needs, we would be able to motivate him or her better.
