Intrinsic motivation revolves around three elements: autonomy, mastery and purpose.
Autonomy: the urge to direct our own lives. Having a sense of control and power over our lives.
Mastery: the desire to get better and keep getting better at something that matters.
Purpose: the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger than ourselves.
These are the building blocks of an entirely new operating system for intrinsic motivation.
