Coincidence

Revisited one of my previous posts on Happiness and believe (and I thought so immediately after reading the paper as well) that Dan Pink's extremely popular talk on Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose (being presented as the foundation for performance, motivation and success) seems to have an uncanny resemblance to this research study. Wait, I'm not suggesting anything.....just saying that it is an interesting coincidence! :-)  


But the one notable difference is that while Men who participated in the research said (mostly) Autonomy along with Mastery and Purpose were important, Women said (mostly) Meaningful Relationships were more important than Autonomy (with Mastery and Purpose being constant). Hmm.
