Two Wheels, Three Needs: Motorcycles and the Science of Well-Being - Episode 10
Hey there! Thanks for checking out my 10th episode! Today, I take you on a ride from Charlottesville to Crabtree Falls and the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia on my 2022 Triumph Street Twin 900. I'm joined by a local rider named Bear and his beautiful dog, Ghillie. In today's episode, I discuss Self-Determination Theory and how motorcycles enhance three basic psychological needs the theory says we need to satisfy: Autonomy, Relatedness, and Competence. All while riding a great motorcycle through some lovely autumn roads in Virginia. Make sure you check out Bear's YouTube Channel: / @themotorcyclestravaig Once again, thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you on the road...
