John Bingham
Professor at the BYU Marriott School of Business
What a great class and cool format John uses to teach students how to thrive.
First, students learn about the myths of happiness: status, wealth, beauty, power. The motivation to pursue those things and the comparisons we make to others, can lead us to feel hollow and empty.
But to thrive, we have to be intentional and deliberate about progressing on the things that matter most to us…things that are intrinsically motivating rather than extrinsically driven. And it’s not just about knowing what to do. It’s actually doing it, as John learned for himself.
It’s a simple idea. Please take it seriously.
