The book would simply not exist without the 57 motivation scientists who contributed their essays, so our first expression of gratitude is to our authors. Another essential group who made the book possible was the editorial team at Oxford University PressAbby Gross and Katharine Pratt. They shared our enthusiasm and vision for this volume from the very beginning and remained supportive throughout. We would also like to express our appreciation to Allan Wigfield at the University of Maryland, who provided excellent early critiques on the direction of the volume. The four anonymous reviewers of our book proposal offered many detailed and extremely helpful suggestions, and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts. We took their comments seriously and, by doing so, substantially improved the quality and scope of the volume. We shared this book-writing journey with the past and present members of the Brain and Motivation Research Institute (bMRI) at Korea University. The bMRI Symposium on Motivation has been possible because of their dedication and yearning for new learning. We hope they hear their voices in the pages of this volume. Finally, we would like to thank our families. We are eternally grateful for their love, encouragement, and support.

The bMRI Symposium on Motivation is an annual international symposium hosted by the Brain and Motivation Research Institute (bMRI) of Korea University in Seoul, Korea. Each year, leading figures in the field of motivation science visit Korea University to present their theories and findings.
