Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Giving up goals

Comments
Hey! I was also really interested in this topic and did a bit of personal reading, I thought I would give you a few resources that really got to the root of why people give up goals. The Struggle of Giving Up Personal Goals

This one was particularly interesting as it looks into the positive sides of giving up goals: Giving Up on Unattainable Goals: Benefits for Health? Anyways, I have put the articles on the references section of your text hope this gives you a good start :)

Hi ! Love this topic and look forward to reading the completed chapter.

I wonder if you could incorporate learned helplessness into the "What is giving up?" subheading and whether there might be a correlation between the aspects of learned helpless (cognitive, emotional and motivational) and giving up. Here is Seligman's original theory on learned helplessness in case you are interested in using this suggestion :)
