Udemy X Beyond Motivation

HMAM is a neuroscientific framework showing how motivation is created. These five neurological filters decide if you’ll act, stall, or sabotage. The result? A step-by-step, scientific method for building motivation that lasts.

$$ \frac{\text{Reward}}{\text{Effort}} \times \left( \text{LossAversion} \cdot f_\text{Belief}^{L} \right) \times \left[ \left( \text{Chance} \cdot \text{AdaptiveLearning} \right) \cdot f_\text{Belief}^{C} \right] $$
Reward ÷ Effort
Does the payoff feel worth the price—right now?
Loss Aversion
Will I regret the risk if it goes wrong?
Success Probability
Do I believe I can actually win this?
Adaptive Learning
How much have I learned from recent feedback?
Belief Bias
Do hidden beliefs override all the logic above?
FUN FACT
Rats swimming

In the 1950s, Curt Richter found that wild rats drowned within minutes—unless he briefly rescued them first. After just a moment of “hope,” the same rats could swim for hours or days. Endurance wasn’t about strength—it was about belief.
