The assumption of Mastery is that people wish to get better at what they do as long as they care about it.
- Engagement in the task one is pursuing is key to mastery.
- To be engaged, you need to reach the state of flow, where goals are clear and feedback is immediate.
- For flow, the challenge of a task must be just slightly above your level of competence.
- Set “learning goals” instead of “performance goals.”
