I love CAR - Competence, Autonomy, Relatedness :D

These three I think are the pillars to a happy job!

Mastery, Autonomy, and Purpose were the three job satisfaction pillars in a popular RSAnimate whiteboard presentation video a few years ago... and it resonated with me (while feeling incomplete, given it omits social / interpersonal factors).

Very interesting! I've also seen this in a number of books about raising kids. The Self-Driven Child recently was the one on my mind.
