Motivation and personality
Book • 1954
In 'Motivation and Personality,' Abraham Maslow presents a holistic view of human nature, contrasting with the mechanistic views of behaviorism and the subconscious-driven views of Freudian psychoanalysis.
The book is renowned for its 'hierarchy of needs,' which organizes human needs from basic physiological needs to higher spiritual or transcendental needs.
Maslow argues that self-actualization, the highest level of need, involves maximizing one's potential and pursuing personal growth.
He studied self-actualized individuals, including historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein, to identify common characteristics such as a focus on personal growth, a sense of purpose, and deep interpersonal relationships.
The book emphasizes the importance of a health-fostering culture and the potential for human beings to achieve their highest aspirations.
