Q

pursuing goals because they fit underlying interests and values rather than because others say they should pursue them.

A

Self-Concordance = pursuing goals because they fit underlying interests and values rather than because others say they should pursue them.

  • More need satisfying experiences - which taps into psychological needs
  • Which then positively impacts our overall wellbeing
