n this module, you will be exposed to other people’s ideas on a particular theme, in this case, motivation. In Module 4, you will plan your Synthesis Essay, which you will write in Module 5. Your Synthesis Essay will require you to make your own statement about the theme of motivation and to support your ideas using evidence from these sources. As you engage with each of the sources in this module and think about the directions your essay might take, consider the following questions:
Why do humans need motivation? 
Why is it challenging to stay motivated?
How can people best motivate themselves?
Are people more motivated by external forces or internal drives?
