What Masud Husain actually said

  1. Masud Husain Professor of Neurology at the University of Oxford
    We find that everyone is willing to work for high rewards. But the difference between motivated people and apathetic people is at the level of the low rewards. Apathetic people are more inclined to say, "Nah, I don't think this is worth the effort, so I won't do that option."
