Great talk by Dan Pink at TED about pitfalls of extrinsic stimulus and scientific evidence for intrinsic motivation:
I kind of always felt that way, but now I’ve got evidence to refer to. Plutarch was right that
The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Thanks for resume in your post
The speaker is so emotional that it was hard for me to listen more then a half of the presentation.. However the results of experiments are very interesting. I have never thought that rewards work in opposite way with creative tasks, yet felt smth like that.

There is not that much of a resume
Keep up the creative work!
I hope that now that we know results of this research, we can do something to avoid being the next hero of Dilbert comics.

That was a lengthy video but very useful. I have come across many things I dont know and learnt it now (eg. candle problem).
