Lyrics:

Veteran social researcher Hugh Mackay knows what makes us tick. He脗麓s been listening to people for a lifetime and measuring their mind and mood.

He's come up with the ten desires that drive us, fundamental ideas about who we are, and what matters most.

They include the desire to be taken seriously, the desire for 'my place', the desire for something to happen, the desire to connect and the desire for love.

This talkback was first broadcast on 1 October 2010.
