Amazing video about what motivates us to do cognitively challenging work.  I first learned about this phenomenon of financial incentives in cognitive work quality from Predictably Irrational (a book that Albert recommended to me).  This infographic/video hybrid of Dan Pink’s talk is a beautiful and succinct crash course in the topic. Worth investing 10 minutes of your day.
