073 Abraham Maslow and his Theory of Human Motivation
In today’s episode, we’re delving into the life and works of one of the founders of humanistic psychology - Abraham Maslow.
We’ll explore his hierarchy of needs and how it relates to our day to day lives, the influence that it’s had on modern psychology, and the broader impact of his ideas on business, design, and education.
We’ll dive into what it means to “self actualise” and give some examples of how you can work towards it. Plus, I’ll be sharing my own personal reflections on Maslow’s work and how it’s influenced my own life since I discovered it when I was training as a therapist 15 years ago.
It also happens to be my longest episode yet. There’s a lot to say about Maslow and his work. As always, if anything in this episode has resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
This episode is sponsored by my new book The Observing I: A Guide to Living a More Authentic Life, available now on Kindle and in paperback from Amazon.
Much love, David
