Podcasts about Abraham Maslow

What topic interests you? Leave me a voicemail. A meaningful life may be built on a quieter, more teachable state called the High Plateau Experience. This episode will address transcendence, including spirituality, psychology, meditation, and simply living with more awe and purpose.  Dr. Alexandra unpacks Abraham Maslow's original ideas about peak experiences, then moves into the lesser-known concept he explored near the end of his life - a more constant, serene way of perceiving the world as miraculous. Along the way, she shares the story of Maslow's own nighttime “peak experience,” the paper he chose not to present, and the profound shift in perspective that came after his confrontation with mortality.You'll discover:Why Maslow believed peak experiences are real, but shouldn't be pursued like a thrill rideHow self-transcendence in Paul Wong's model includes beauty, present-moment awareness, and service to othersWhat Maslow meant by “witnessing the world” and why he said we could “hold classes in the miraculous”The difference between a climactic peak experience and the steadier High Plateau ExperienceWhy joy, sadness, awe, and mortality can all coexist in the same momentHow meditation, spiritual practice, and meditative listening are linked to less anxiety, more meaning, and greater connectednessDr. Alexandra also brings in research and modern evidence, including studies on Lectio Divina, Dan Tomasulo's work (https://dantomasulo.com), and a 2021 Frontiers in Psychology paper on self-transcendence and adolescent mental health.  The result is a thoughtful, practical episode that connects Maslow's theory to real-life practices you can actually use. This is essential listening for those seeking grounded transcendence that doesn't depend on chasing extraordinary moments, but on learning how to live with openness, wonder, and purpose in ordinary life.Timestamps00:00 - This episode is dedicated to internationalforgiveness.com and Maslow's higher love 00:32 - What the high plateau experience is and how it differs from peak experiences 01:27 - Peak experiences as unforced moments of human transcendence 02:24 - Maslow's own peak experience before his memorial lecture 03:21 - Why Maslow chose the academic paper instead of his personal experience 03:50 - The impact of peak experiences on self-acceptance and openness 04:56 - Why Maslow warned against chasing peak experiences for their own sake 05:26 - The bodhisattva ideal and helping others after awakening 06:20 - Paul Wong's three levels of self-transcendence 07:12 - How Dr. Stanley Krippner helped preserve Maslow's final talk 08:47 - Maslow's shift into a more constant, mythic way of seeing 09:44 - Why the high plateau was more voluntary and teachable 10:49 - The plateau as witnessing the symbolic and miraculous in ordinary life 12:14 - Maslow's Brandeis vision of an eternal academic procession 13:54 - How the plateau compresses time, memory, and meaning 15:20 - The paradox of permanence, mortality, joy, and sadness 16:28 - Why we do not need to wait for peak experiences to live meaningfully 17:27 - Research on meditative listening, meaning, and well-being 18:34 - Dr. Dan Tomasulo's insights on spiritual practice and brain quieting 19:38 - Lisa Miller's MRI research on the spiritual brain 20:15 - A 2021 study on self-transcendence and adolescent mental health 21:40 - Closing reflections Notable quotes“Achieving the mystic's sense of cosmic unity can be tremendously uplifting, but such a state must always be balanced by action in the daily world.”Support the showThis show was created with love.  The following are seven ways you can support and encourage my efforts to create new content, from easiest to hardest: Press “follow” on the podcastPress “follow” on YouTube @alexandramillerclarkShare a helpful podcast episode with a friend Share a helpful YouTube episode with a friendLeave the podcast a rating on iTunesLeave the YouTube a rating on iTunesBuy me a coffee:  buymeacoffee.com/dralexandra

Paul de River. The aristocratic Krafft-Ebing was a German psychiatrist and author of the seminal Psychopathia Sexualis. J. Paul de River was the chief psychiatrist of the Los Angeles Sex Offense Bureau during the 1940s and author of The Sexual Criminal: A Psychoanalytic Study. The work of these two eccentric, obsessive, and sometimes deluded psychiatrists provide compelling time-capsules into the dark underbelly of 19th century Vienna, and the sordid backstreets of mid-century Los Angeles. Mikita Brottman is Professor of Literature at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. She has a D.Phil from Oxford University in English Language and Literature, and is an NAAP certified psychoanalyst. She performs forensic evaluations for the National Institute for the study, prevention and treatment of sexual trauma. She is also the author of 15 nonfiction books, the latest of which, Guilty Creatures (Simon & Schuster, 2024) was described by the New York Times as “an unputdownable read.” https://mikitabrottman.com News & updates: Our next event is Saturday, August 15th, with the next installment of An Introduction to Psychoanalysis.

Longe de dogmas ou instituições tradicionais, a busca por sentido e o acolhimento sensível revelam-se pilares essenciais na manutenção da saúde e do equilíbrio emocional humano. Neste episódio do Religare — Conhecimento e Religião, o prof. Flávio Senra recebe a enfermeira, teóloga e cientista da religião Rosiléia de Fátima Costa para debater os resultados de sua dissertação de mestrado desenvolvida no PPGCR/PUC Minas. A pesquisa mergulha na rotina da unidade pediátrica de internação de Belo Horizonte durante o enfrentamento da Covid-19 (2020–2022). Por meio da metodologia da história oral temática, o estudo revela os bastidores conceituais e humanos dos chamados "conflitos espirituais" — momentos críticos em que a dor e as perdas massivas colocam à prova as crenças e a própria identidade dos profissionais da saúde. Ancorada nas teorias da hierarquia de necessidades de Abraham Maslow, na psicologia existencial de Viktor Frankl e nas contribuições contemporâneas sobre o equilíbrio emocional de Anna Lembke, Rosiléia propõe uma leitura aplicada e urgente sobre a ética do relacionamento humano na saúde pública.

For years, The Aging Well Podcast has emphasized six evidence-based pillars of healthy aging: exercise and physical activity, maintaining a healthy body composition, a healthy diet, not smoking, sleep hygiene, and social connectedness. Together, these behaviors are strongly associated with longer life, reduced disease risk, and improved quality of life.But is there a missing pillar?In this episode, Dr. Jeff Armstrong and co-host Corbin Bruton explore the case for adding Purpose as a seventh pillar of aging well. Drawing upon the SPIES Model of well-centered fitness, the work of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Abraham Maslow's later theories of self-transcendence, and Scott Barry Kaufman's book Transcend, they examine whether healthy aging is about more than preserving function and avoiding disease.The conversation explores aging as a process of transformation rather than decline, the role of Purpose in physical and psychological health, the possibility of lifelong growth in consciousness, and the idea that human flourishing may involve moving toward an ever-receding horizon of wholeness. Together, Jeff and Corbin consider whether Purpose is not merely an outcome of aging well, but an essential ingredient in the process itself.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Průkopník humanistické psychologie, který zemřel 8. června 1970 při joggingu, byl přesvědčený, že každý člověk by měl maximálně zúročit své schopnosti. Podmínky pro naplněný život viděl v naplnění lidských potřeb. Rozdělil je do pěti okruhů: od fyziologických (jídlo a pití), přes pocity bezpečí, lásky, uznání, až po seberealizaci. Schéma známé jako Maslowova pyramida vešlo do příruček pro osobní rozvoj, management i marketing. Sám Maslow ale tohle schéma nikdy nenakreslil.

Mary stands weeping at an empty tomb, convinced she's alone — until someone says her name. This week we explore what it means to be truly seen, and why that experience might be more essential to our survival than we've been taught.   LINKS:  Current Conversation | Connect | YouTube |  Coming Up TRANSCRIPT: For the next several weeks, we're going to hold some of the Easter resurrection stories up to the light the way you hold a ViewMaster slide up to the light. You don't travel to those places. You hold the image up, and something in it travels into you. The depth, the color, the detail — it gets in you. And when you set it down, you're back in the room — but you've changed. You're carrying something you didn't have before. That's the invitation. We're not asking you to settle theological debates about what literally happened. We're asking: What do you see, when you really look? What wakes up in you? This series follows the thread we pulled on at Easter — "He is Woke Indeed." Woke, in its original 20th-century AAVE meaning: alert, awake, seeing clearly. These stories are about people who suddenly started seeing what they couldn't see before. That's what we're after. The Story: Mary at the Tomb (John 20:11–18)  Read it… invite people to really take it in… "Mary stood outside near the tomb, crying." She's not praying. She's not worshipping. She's wrecked. She looks into the tomb and sees two angels, and even this doesn't pull her out of her grief. Wild. She turns and sees Jesus but doesn't recognize him. She thinks he's the gardener. Then: "Mary." One word of recognition: her name. And everything shifts. She wakes up to what's happening…  Sit with that for a moment. What just happened? He didn't offer an explanation. He didn't prove anything. He simply said her name. And she woke up. This is the moment we're exploring today: the experience of being truly seen. Called by name. Recognized. The Lie We've Been Told: Connection Is a Luxury We live in a culture (and many of us carry a theology) that quietly teaches: survival first, connection later. Get the basics handled. Then, if there's time and you've earned it, relationship. This is, in fact, the story we absorbed from one of the most influential frameworks in modern Western thought: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Food, water, shelter. Safety. Then belonging. Then esteem. Connection shows up only after your survival needs are met. But here's something worth knowing about where that model came from — and what it left out initially In 1938, Abraham Maslow visited the Blackfoot (Siksika) Nation in Alberta, Canada. He was stuck on his theory of human development and went to spend time with their community. (Grow Your WHY article) What he encountered there profoundly shaped his thinking — but when he built his famous hierarchy, he "borrowed generously" from the Blackfoot worldview and then made that source essentially invisible. And here's the deepest problem: he inverted what he found. In the Blackfoot model, which uses a tipi rather than a pyramid, self-actualization sits at the base — not the top. It is the starting point. Community actualization comes next, and the highest aspiration is called "cultural perpetuity" — the ongoing flourishing of the people across generations. In other words: you don't earn love or belonging after you've survived. Love and belonging is what makes survival possible in the first place. While in Maslow's model we find love and belonging only after attending to basic needs and safety, the Blackfoot model describes that our tribe or community is the very means through which we are fed, housed, clothed, and protected. (PACEsConnection) The pyramid we all learned? It's a Western, individualist distortion of an Indigenous communal wisdom that was never given credit. For the record, I think the same distortion has happened to the wisdom of Jesus and his people; it's been whitewashed to center the individual… What Science is Actually Catching Up To The Siksika/Blackfoot Nation understood something our public health system is only now naming as a crisis. In his 2023 report "Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation," Surgeon General Vivek Murthy wrote that loneliness is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and premature death. In fact, lacking connection can increase the risk for premature death as much as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. And social neuroscientist Matthew Lieberman's research shows that our brains react to social pain and pleasure in much the same way as they do to physical pain and pleasure. Social connection ensures infants' survival; their safety and physiological needs are dependent on it. Unmet social and psychological needs create pain that is just as real as physical pain. Connection isn't a reward for getting your life together. It is how we stay alive. Back to Mary So when Jesus says her name… this is not a small thing. This is not a warm gesture. This is an act of resurrection in itself… of coming back to life. She was invisible to herself in her grief. She couldn't see clearly. She was looking right at the one she was looking for and couldn't see him. And then: her name. And she sees. This is what being truly seen does. It wakes something up in us that grief, fear, and shame had put to sleep. We can't fully come alive alone. We come alive when we are recognized — when someone looks at us and says, in word or action: I see you. You are here. You matter. From a womanist theological perspective, this moment carries particular weight. Mary Magdalene — a woman, the first witness, the one the tradition has spent centuries trying to sideline or diminish — is the first person Jesus appears to. He doesn't appear to the disciples gathered in the upper room. He appears to her. By name. The people Empire tends to undervalue, or say they don't matter are often the first to see clearly. Invitation: What Does It Mean to See and Be Seen Here? Two movements: First, receiving: Is there a part of you that's still at the tomb — still in grief, still unable to recognize what or who might be right in front of you? What would it mean to let yourself be called by name? To let yourself be seen, not as you should be, but as you are? Second, offering: Who in your life needs you to say their name? Not fix them. Not explain things to them. Just see them. Call them by name. The Easter story suggests that is what resurrection looks like in everyday life. This week's practice: Say someone's name — really mean it. Or let yourself be known in one small way you normally hide. Notice what wakes up.

In this week's Sunday teaching at Oceanside Sanctuary, Jason Coker continues the "Snapshots of Jesus" series by diving into John 20:11-18, where Mary Magdalene encounters the resurrected Jesus but mistakes him for the gardener. Jason shares personal stories of existential crises—from the terrifying realization of becoming a new parent to waking up to the realities of systemic injustice—to illustrate how faith isn't simply about having the right facts or historical information. Instead, faith is about being deeply "known" by God. Drawing from theologians like James Cone and Paul Tillich, as well as psychologist Abraham Maslow, this episode explores what happens when ultimate reality breaks into our lives and we hear Christ call our name.

Preparing to Meet Your First Client - Humanism vs Person-Centred Therapy In Episode 371 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly explore three key topics relevant to counsellors and counselling students. Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they introduce the emerging conversation around AI in counselling, exploring whether therapists are being left behind and how practitioners can engage with AI ethically. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Jessica Wing about preparing to meet your very first client, sharing insights to help students transition from classroom practice to real therapeutic work. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken clarify the difference between humanism and person-centred therapy, a common area of confusion for counselling students studying theoretical models. AI in Counselling – Have Therapists Been Left Behind? [starts at 03:07 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore the growing role of AI in counselling and why therapists cannot afford to ignore the conversation. Key points discussed include: AI is already embedded in many tools therapists use daily (email systems, video platforms, and software), even if practitioners do not actively use AI themselves. Counsellors don't need to become technology experts, but they do need to understand the ethical implications of AI in practice. Clients are increasingly using AI tools themselves, sometimes discussing personal struggles with chatbots and bringing those experiences into therapy. Therapists can respond with curiosity rather than resistance, exploring how AI interactions affect a client's experience and meaning-making. Practitioners may fall into different camps regarding AI: the enthusiast, the resistor, the anxious middle, or the pragmatist. Ethical frameworks and professional bodies in the UK (such as BACP and NCPS) are already beginning to address AI in guidance and policy. Preparing to Meet Your First Client [starts at 27:55 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with counsellor and trainer Jessica Wing about preparing to see your first client as a counselling student. Key points from this conversation include: The transition from classroom triads to working with real clients can feel daunting because real clients bring richer and more complex stories. First-session anxiety is normal; leaning on support from supervisors and placement teams can help ground and reassure students. The first session is not about solving everything – it is about building trust, establishing rapport, and beginning the therapeutic relationship. Focusing on relational presence rather than getting everything “right” allows counsellors to be more authentic and effective. Maintaining self-regulation before sessions (for example through breathing exercises or grounding techniques) helps create a calm therapeutic space. Supervision plays a vital role in early practice, offering reassurance, reflection, and professional support as students begin their client work. Humanism vs Person-Centred Therapy [starts at 49:34 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken unpack the difference between humanism and person-centred therapy (PCT), a distinction that often confuses counselling students. Key points include: Humanistic psychology is a broad philosophical approach to understanding people, emphasising growth, free will, and personal meaning. It emerged as the “third force” in psychology, alongside psychoanalysis and behaviourism, influenced by thinkers like Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. Person-centred therapy is a specific therapeutic model that applies humanistic principles in practice. PCT is built on the belief in the actualising tendency – the idea that people naturally move toward growth and fulfilment when the right conditions are present. Rogers identified the core conditions (empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard) as essential elements for therapeutic change. While many modern therapies incorporate humanistic values, person-centred therapy places the therapeutic relationship and client-led growth at the very centre of the approach. Here is a full handout on this topic: Humanistic Psychology vs Person-Centred Therapy The terms humanistic psychology and person-centred therapy (PCT) are often used interchangeably, but they refer to different levels of theory and practice. Humanistic Psychology (Humanism) Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century, associated with figures such as Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers and Rollo May. It became known as the “third force” in psychology, following psychoanalysis and behaviourism. Humanism proposes that people are fundamentally oriented toward growth, meaning and creativity when the right conditions are present. Key Ideas People have an innate drive toward growth and self-actualisation Subjective experience is central to understanding the person Individuals have free will and personal responsibility Therapy focuses on the whole person, not only symptoms In therapy, humanism is an umbrella term that includes several approaches, such as: Person-centred therapy Gestalt therapy Existential therapy Transactional analysis These approaches share a focus on human potential, authenticity and lived experience. Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) Person-centred therapy was developed by Carl Rogers as a specific approach within the humanistic tradition. Central to Rogers' theory is the actualising tendency - the natural human drive toward growth and psychological health. Rogers described several conditions necessary for therapeutic change. Three key therapist attitudes are: Congruence – genuineness and authenticity Unconditional positive regard – acceptance without judgement Empathic understanding – sensing the client's internal frame of reference Person-centred therapy is intentionally non-directive. The client leads the process while the therapist provides the facilitative relational climate for change. Key Differences Level Humanistic psychologyA broad philosophy about human nature and helping. Person-centred therapyA specific therapeutic model developed by Rogers. Scope Humanism influences therapy, education, organisational work and personal development. Person-centred therapy describes a specific way of practising counselling, centred on the relationship and the core conditions. Practice Humanistic practitioners may integrate techniques while maintaining a humanistic philosophy. Classical person-centred therapists prioritise the relational conditions and tend to avoid structured techniques or therapist-led agendas. A Simple Way to Remember Humanistic psychology The broad philosophy that sees people as growth-oriented and best understood through their subjective experience. Person-centred therapy Carl Rogers' specific, non-directive therapeutic approach built around empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence.

Dr. Rick and Forrest explore the lessons we can learn from two of Humanistic psychology's more challenging branches: existential psychology and transpersonal psychology. Existential psychology asks what it means to build a meaningful life in the face of death, while Transpersonal psychology wonders if the individual self is what we should be so focused on. Forrest and Rick focus on the work of Rollo May, Irvin Yalom, Abraham Maslow, and Stanislav Grof, and major themes include freedom, agency, anxiety, the limits of the “self,” and how confronting these can lead to a fuller and more meaningful life.  Rick's Self-Worth Course: Starts this week!

✅ Descubre Como Entender de Verdad Un Trastorno de Ansiedad y Tomar Acción En Nuestro Curso Gratuito El Mapa de La Ansiedad: https://escuelaansiedad.com/Cursos/el-mapa-de-la-ansiedad ¿Y si el gran error de muchas miradas psicológicas hubiera sido empezar por la pregunta equivocada? Durante décadas, la psicología se centró en detectar “fallos”: el psicoanálisis excavando en heridas del pasado, el conductismo reduciendo al ser humano a un conjunto de respuestas… hasta que una corriente se atrevió a decir: no eres un problema que arreglar, eres un potencial que desplegar. En este episodio de La Teoría de la Mente, dentro de nuestra serie de los jueves de historia de la psicología, viajamos al nacimiento de la Psicología Humanista, conocida como la Tercera Fuerza, para entender cómo cambió el foco: del “¿qué está roto en ti?” al “¿qué es lo mejor que puedes llegar a ser?” Abraham Maslow y la brújula de la motivación Maslow no solo diseñó una teoría: dibujó un mapa de las necesidades humanas. Exploramos su famosa pirámide y cómo su propia historia personal influyó en la forma en que entendía el crecimiento. Hablamos de la diferencia entre vivir persiguiendo placer y seguridad (hedoné) y vivir con sentido y expansión real (eudaimonía). Porque sí: incluso cuando hay cemento por encima, el impulso a crecer sigue ahí… como una planta que empuja hacia la luz. Carl Rogers y el terapeuta “jardinero” Rogers rompió con la idea del terapeuta “mecánico” que arregla piezas defectuosas. En su lugar propuso una relación que nutre, acompaña y permite que la persona florezca. En este episodio desgranamos sus tres condiciones esenciales para el cambio auténtico: ✅ Aceptación positiva incondicional ✅ Empatía precisa ✅ Autenticidad (congruencia) Un enfoque que no te empuja a ser “mejor” por obligación… sino a volver a ti. La trampa de la incongruencia ¿Por qué a veces, incluso “haciendo todo bien”, sentimos vacío? Porque puede que estés viviendo para sostener un personaje: el yo ideal (lo que haces para que te quieran) en lugar del yo real (lo que realmente eres y sientes). Esa distancia crea tensión, desgaste, ansiedad y una sensación de desconexión interna. Hoy te contamos cómo se forma esa brecha… y cómo empezar a cerrarla. Recuerda: tu potencial no se inventa, ya existe en ti. Como un roble entero que vive dentro de una semilla. Solo necesitas el contexto, la comprensión y el “abono psicológico” adecuado para crecer.

You've spent decades showing up, giving, and getting it done. So why does actually enjoying what you've built feel like something you still need permission for?In this fifth episode of The Soul's Eight Thresholds of Transformation, Nina Hirlaender OFS walks you through Lammas, the ancient Celtic harvest threshold that asks a question most high-functioning seekers have been avoiding: Are you ready to receive the abundance you've worked so hard for? Through the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey and the story of a physician who hadn't taken a real vacation in eighteen years, Nina explores why receiving feels dangerous to people who've built their identity on being useful, and what happens when you finally let the bread that's already baked actually nourish you.Drawing on the wisdom of Brother Lawrence, Abraham Maslow, and the somatic intelligence of the body, this episode traces how the fear of receiving keeps your spiritual life malnourished and offers a devastatingly simple practice to begin crossing this threshold today.What You'll Learn:Why high-functioning people fear their own greatness — and how that fear quietly starves the soul even in seasons of abundanceThe two patterns that keep seekers stuck at this threshold: treating desire as suspect and staying in perpetual service modeWhat Brother Lawrence discovered about receiving God's presence while peeling potatoes — and why his kitchen spirituality still outpaces elaborate systemsThe body signals that reveal whether you're metabolizing your life or just producing through itYour Next Steps:Register for the final Celtic Shamanism in England pilgrimage (May 23 – June 2, 2026): https://dancingspirittours.com/journeys/england/Watch the free class replay — "The 8 Seasons of the Soul (And How to Know Which One You're In)": https://nina-hirlaender.mykajabi.com/8-seasons-of-the-soulSupport the showRate, Review & Follow If Holy Rebels has helped you practise your spirituality in real life, would you take 30 seconds to leave a quick rating and review?

No episódio "Ser Feliz é Ser Humano", o podcast da Nova Acrópole do Brasil propõe uma reflexão filosófica sobre a felicidade como expressão da própria natureza humana. Ser feliz não é apenas experimentar prazer ou alcançar êxito material, mas realizar conscientemente aquilo que se é em essência. A partir da "Hierarquia das Necessidades Humanas", de Abraham Maslow, compreende-se a felicidade como um processo de desenvolvimento que culmina na autorrealização. Essa perspectiva dialoga com a tradição hindu, ampliando a visão do ser humano como uma unidade integrada, capaz de crescer interiormente e manifestar suas potencialidades. Inspirado também em Aristóteles, o episódio destaca que a verdadeira felicidade está ligada à prática do bem e ao cultivo das virtudes. Assim como a semente cumpre sua finalidade ao dar frutos, o ser humano se realiza ao expressar valores e contribuir conscientemente para o mundo. "Ser Feliz é Ser Humano" nos convida a compreender a felicidade como um caminho de autoconhecimento, transcendência e construção interior — um estado que nasce da coerência entre pensamento, sentimento e ação. Participantes: Michel Queiroz e Pedro Guimarães Trilha Sonora: Joseph Hadyn - Sinfonia nº45 - Minueto

Maslows Bedürfnispyramide kennt fast jede:r – aber was, wenn sie so nie gedacht war? Woher kommt sie eigentlich, warum ist sie bis heute so mächtig und was daran ist wissenschaftlich haltbar? In dieser Folge nehmen Leon und Atze eine der berühmtesten Ideen der Psychologie auseinander. Dabei sprechen sie über Leitern statt Pyramiden, Segelboote mit Leck, falsche Vereinfachungen und die Frage, ob Menschen wirklich erst „oben ankommen“ müssen, um zu wachsen. Eine Folge über Mythen, gute Ideen, schlechte Grafiken – und darüber, was wir wirklich brauchen, um ein erfülltes Leben zu führen.

En la pirámide de Maslow, la autorrealización como necesidad ocupa el lugar más alto y es anhelada recién una vez que otras necesidades anteriores son atendidas, tales como: necesidades fisiológicas, necesidades de seguridad, necesidades sociales y necesidades de estima.Jonás recibió la misión de predicar en Nínive, capital de Asiria y una de las mayores y más crueles ciudades del mundo antiguo. Ante esa comisión, Jonás pensó: "Es imposible. ¡Creo que Dios se equivocó esta vez!". Ignorando la sabiduría de Dios y dudando del poder divino, abrió una brecha para que Satanás lo desalentara y huyó.Bien, pensemos: ¿no era esa una responsabilidad pesada? Sí, lo era. Pero aquel que lo había enviado tenía todas las condiciones para asegurar su éxito. Si hubiera confiado, Jonás se habría ahorrado las energías gastadas en el miedo, el fracaso y la inseguridad.No creo que Jonás tuviera sus necesidades como explica la teoría de Maslow, pero quizá su pirámide debería haber contenido la necesidad de dependencia divina: el escalón esencial para la autorrealización.Según Maslow, Jonás sería el arquetipo de quien teme a la autorrealización y huye o se esconde, saboteándose a sí mismo y renunciando a su propia vocación. En verdad, Jonás temía ser ridiculizado, si Dios perdonaba al pueblo y sus predicciones no se cumplían. Dios le dio a Jonás la oportunidad de repensar sus mediocres conclusiones, enviando una tormenta.Esa tormenta tenía un propósito especial, y Dios no la aquietaría antes de tiempo. Los marineros místicos echaron suertes, y esta cayó sobre Jonás. Él les contó que había huido de Dios. Y fue lanzado al mar.Dios seguía al control: un gran pez lo tragó. Y, después de tres días y tres noches en ese ambiente oscuro y maloliente, Jonás percibió su pequeñez. Todavía había cosas por aprender, pero era una lección a la vez. Entonces el pez vomitó a Jonás en tierra seca, y él fue a Nínive.Dios también nos dio una misión intransferible. Mientras la realizamos, tenemos la oportunidad de experimentar a Dios y las grandes cosas que él puede realizar por nuestro intermedio.No sé cuál es tu misión, pero no dudes de lo que él es capaz de hacer. Avanza en la completa dependencia divina y observa el milagro. 

Hoy hablamos de: 1. Los niveles humanos pueden interpretarse a través de las teorías de Abraham Maslow, Clayton Alderfer, David Hawkins y Lawrence Kohlberg. 2. Alderfer plantea tres niveles simultáneos: existencia, relación y crecimiento. 3. El nivel más bajo está dominado por la supervivencia, el miedo y el orgullo. 4. El miedo acompaña todos los niveles, pero en su forma exagerada limita al ser humano. 5. Históricamente, la humanidad ha permanecido mayormente en el nivel de supervivencia. 6. El nivel relacional introduce amor y alegría como experiencias humanas más elevadas. 7. Muchas acciones humanas siguen motivadas por miedo al castigo o necesidad de aceptación (Kohlberg). 8. El nivel más alto implica actuar por convicción ética y principios universales, no por miedo. 9. La “gran paradoja”: el miedo y el orgullo que nos frenan son en gran parte construcciones mentales. 10. La evolución humana consiste en pasar del miedo y el ego a la conciencia, el corazón y la ética. Música: 1. soundcloud.com/nhamer-garcia/hamer-metamorphosis 2. Valkiria.

Join us for What Stayed, a live Season Two gathering. March 31 · Virtual · Free · Limited spots · konu.org/eventsMindfulness has become respectable.It improves focus. It reduces stress. It helps leaders perform under pressure.But what if mindfulness isn't primarily about performance?In this episode of On the Balcony, Michael Koehler sits down with Dr. Matthias Birk—organizational psychologist, executive coach, former Global Head of Coaching & Advisory at Goldman Sachs, Global Director of Partner Development at White & Case, Zen teacher, and founder of Self-Transcendent Leadership.What unfolds is not a conversation about mindfulness as a productivity tool.It's a conversation about perspective.Matthias distinguishes between what he calls within-paradigm mindfulness—using meditation to cope more skillfully within the identity you already inhabit—and beyond-paradigm mindfulness, which loosens that identity altogether.One reduces suffering within the game. The other questions the game itself.At the heart of the episode is a passage from Rainer Maria Rilke:Be forever dead in Eurydice, singingly rise, praisingly rise, back into pure relation. Here, among the vanishing, be—in the realm of demise. Be the pulsating glass, shattered yet of its own vibration. Be—and yet know the non-being's ground, The infinite bottom of your innermost sound. So that you might complete it—this one only time.For Matthias, meditation isn't an accessory to leadership. It's not like playing golf. It's about being fully alive in the here and now—and discovering what remains when achievement, anxiety, and identity begin to soften.What You'll Explore in This EpisodeMeditation before it was fashionable Matthias began practicing Zen as a teenager, long before mindfulness entered corporate vocabulary.Within-paradigm vs. beyond-paradigm mindfulness Mindfulness can help you manage stress inside demanding roles. But it can also invite you to question who you are beyond those roles.Achievement and insecurity From McKinsey to Goldman Sachs to global leadership, Matthias reflects candidly on ambition and belonging—and how meditation shifted his relationship to that inner voice.Self-transcendence Drawing on Abraham Maslow's later work, Matthias explores what it means to move beyond ego-centered striving toward expression, service, and alignment with something larger.Leadership as expression What if leadership isn't about constructing a persona—but about listening deeply enough to express what's already there, this one only time?Quotes from This Episode"Meditation is not a hobby. It's not like playing golf. It's not something you do on the side. It is about being fully alive in the here and now." — Dr. Matthias Birk"If you don't brush your teeth, they're going to rot. If you don't brush your mind, it's going to come up with not great stuff." — Dr. Matthias Birk"The real benefit of mindfulness is that you can live a free life." — Dr. Matthias Birk"One of the saddest things is to live a life and never hear your innermost sound." — Dr. Matthias BirkLinks & ResourcesSelf-Transcendent Leadership — Dr. Matthias Birk https://www.self-transcendent.com/Publications & Articles by Dr. Matthias Birk https://www.matthiasbirk.com/publicationsSelected...

So much of our world today can be summed up in the cold logic of “if I don't, they will.” This is the foundation of game theory, which holds that cooperation and virtue are irrational; that all that matters is the race to make the most money, gain the most power, and play the winning hand. This way of thinking can feel inescapable, like a fundamental law of human nature. But our guest today, professor Sonja Amadae, argues that it doesn't have to be this way. That the logic of game theory is a human invention, a way of thinking that we've learned — and that we can unlearn.In this episode, Tristan and Aza explore the game theory dilemma — the idea that if I adopt game theory logic and you don't, you lose — with Dr. Sonja Amadae, a professor of Political Science at the University of Helsinki. She's also the director at the Center for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge and the author of “Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and the Neoliberal Economy.”The history of game theory as an inhumane technology stretches back to its WWII origins. But humans also cooperate, and we can break out of the rationality trap by daring to trust each other again. It's critical that we do, because AI is the ultimate agent of game theory and once it's fully entangled we might be permanently stuck in the game theory world.RECOMMENDED MEDIA“Prisoners of Reason: Game Theory and the Neoliberal Economy” by Sonja Amadae (2015)The Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk“Theory of Games and Economic Behavior” by John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern (1944)Further reading on the importance of trust in FinlandFurther reading on Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of NeedsRAND's 2024 Report on Strategic Competition in the Age of AIFurther reading on Marshall Rosenberg and nonviolent communicationThe study on self/other overlap and AI alignment cited by AzaFurther reading on The Day After (1983) RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESAmerica and China Are Racing to Different AI FuturesThe Crisis That United Humanity—and Why It Matters for AILaughing at Power: A Troublemaker's Guide to Changing TechThe Race to Cooperation with David Sloan Wilson Clarifications:The proposal for a federal preemption on AI was enacted by President Trump on December 11, 2025, shortly after this recording. Aza said that "The Day After" was the most watched TV event in history when it aired.

Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs is one of the best-known theories in psychology.  First introduced in 1943, the theory posits that people have an innate desire to reach their maximum potential, but to achieve this goal, they must first have their basic needs met.  These needs can be both physical and psychological, but they play a major role in understanding people's motivations.  Learn more about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, how they came to be, and how the psychology behind it can be used to explain human behavior on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.  Sponsors Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!

Is Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs biblical? Is Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs compatible with Christian/biblical counseling?

Send us a textIn this special birthday episode, Tom and Ruth explore what it really means to thrive as a whole human being. Building on their series about the fundamentals of wellness and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, they dive into the top of the hierarchy—self-actualization—and why it's never just about “me.”Together they unpack how homeostasis—that dynamic state of balance in body, mind, and spirit—is both personal and collective. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, somatic practice, and ecology, Tom explains how true wellness emerges when our physiological, emotional, and relational needs are met within connection—not isolation.From the wisdom of Kurt Goldstein and Abraham Maslow to the biology of “many little lives” within us, this conversation reframes self-actualization as thriving through interconnectedness.

Welcome in the Friday refresh brought to you by Team Ben and Travis for St Jude Marathon weekend.

Is it fully constructed? Or is it stuck in the middle of construction somewhere? I guess I should explain before I ask questions like that. I'm sure at some point in your high school or collegiate career you have come across Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Abraham Maslow proposed that these five needs are the motivators behind human behavior. They start at the bottom of the pyramid with the most basic of needs and work up to the more complicated and self-realized toward the top. Initially it was believed the lower goals always had to be completed first with a linear view of how they are accomplished, it is accepted now that different individuals and cultures may achieve various levels at different times.

In this episode, we share three stories from three diaries. In the first, you will hear about a young school teacher who wrote out her idea of "The Basic Needs Of Every Life". She beat Abraham Maslow and his "Hierarchy of Needs" by twenty years, as her ideas and his are very similar. Next, we visit the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair. We share diary entries by a 21 year old man, who had a unique job at the fair.  His very first entry mentioned "danger from fire" and was written months before a tragic fire that killed 12 Firefighters in full view of fair goers. The final diary for this episode was written by a soldier in the Spanish American War of 1898. He transcribed two newspaper articles in his diary regarding a "dastard" who committed a crime "worse than cold blooded murder". Send us a textPlease go to: https://diarydiscoveries.com to see episode photos and read our blog.

You're Building Your Life Backwards October 21, 2025 | Episode 5207 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Smart people are doing it backwards right now. Even people who studied this exact thing in college are forgetting the basics. They're chasing respect before they can pay rent. They're demanding acceptance while their life's falling apart. Scott breaks down why 2025 has been so damn hard and what Abraham Maslow figured out in 1954 that still works today. No shortcuts. No hacks. Just the sequential steps you actually need to climb. Spoiler: You can't skip steps just because you're 21 and think the world is different now. Featured Story Scott's been having the same conversation over and over the past few weeks with successful people who've somehow forgotten what they learned in college. They're college-educated. They know Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. But when Scott reminds them what they studied at university, they go, "Oh yeah, I forgot about it." Here's the thing that keeps coming up: people are trying to build the top floors before they've laid the foundation. They want self-actualization and respect while they can't feed themselves or feel safe. Scott calls it building without a peaceful base. And in a year as hard as 2025 has been—politically, financially, with AI throwing monkey wrenches everywhere—more people are doing this than ever. Even his son-in-law thinks he has to fix his entire hurricane-damaged house by himself when he's surrounded by a church community ready to help. Sometimes the basics are right in front of you. Important Points Your best life is built sequentially, one level at a time—forget the elevator, you've got to climb the steps to the top. If you can't feed yourself, feel safe, or maintain good relationships, you're not ready to help others or reach your full potential yet. Humans figured out how to build this whole world without AI, and things that have worked forever still work today—don't get distracted. Memorable Quotes "What a man can be, he must be. You feel it inside your bones." "I don't think you have to wait to become the person you're meant to be. I think you were put on this planet as that person." "If you can't feed yourself, if you don't have good relationships, if you're not happy, how could you possibly go out and help other people?" Scott's Three-Step Approach Take inventory of where you are in Maslow's five levels—physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Build your peaceful base first by handling the basics like shelter, money, relationships, and feeling safe before chasing bigger goals. Stop demanding respect and acceptance from others until you've mastered the previous levels—what you can be, you must be, but in the right order.

In it, I examine the intersection of Maslow's ideas with Christian principles, analyzing how concepts such as self-actualization and human potential align with the biblical view of human nature, purpose, and fulfillment. I also discuss Maslow's later work in transpersonal psychology, in which he explored mystical and spiritual experiences, and I critique this, as well as his controversial views on eugenics. Finally, I conclude by arguing that a Christian worldview provides a more comprehensive understanding of human flourishing than Maslow's theories alone.I shall be posting several bonus episodes over the next week or so whilst I work on our next season together, in which I return to the New Testament and begin our study through Paul's 2nd letter to the church at Corinth. The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Care sunt comportamentele pe care le învățăm adesea, încă din primii ani de viață și din primele interacțiuni avute? Cum sunt acestea reîntărite la școală și, mai apoi, în alte relații pe care le dezvoltăm cu cei din jur? Cum ajung acestea să devină reprezentative nu doar pentru fiecare individ, ci pentru noi ca societate și, mai ales, cum impactează deciziile pe care le luăm și modul în care ne raportăm unii la ceilalți? În episodul de astăzi descoperim, alături de Gelu Duminică, de ce e atât de importantă puterea lui împreună și cum "diferența dintre ceea ce unii credeau că putem fi și ceea ce suntem e dată de cei care au crezut mai mult în noi decât am crezut noi în noi înșine".

How can we grow into our full potential?—living up to what we know is the best version of ourselves, actualizing our goals, and expressing our deepest purpose in a life of impact and love?Grounded in cognitive science and psychology, best-selling author, podcaster, educator and researcher Scott Barry Kaufman believes that we need to redefine our understanding of greatness and excellence to include our whole selves—our emotions, dreams, failures, and gifts—all to live a life that is fully human, fully yourself.In this conversation with Scott Barry Kaufman, we discuss:Education and formation for the whole person, not just our intellect but our bodies, emotions, and spiritualityMaslow's hierarchy of needs and the journey that leads to self-actualizationThe difference it makes to see the world through growth rather than our deficienciesWhat it means to thrive even in the midst of mental illnessThe horizontal dimensions of transcendenceAnd how to connect and align with your deepest valuesEpisode Highlights“You can be mentally ill and thriving.”“Self-actualization is bringing your whole self to the table—not just one part of you.”“Real transcendence is about becoming one with the world—not being more enlightened than others.”“People are far more likely to demand respect than to give it.”“Only you can walk the path.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit scottbarrykaufman.comThe Psychology Podcast with Scott Barry KaufmanChoose Growth Workbook by Kaufman & Feingold*Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization,* by Scott Barry KaufmanScientific American: Spiritual NarcissismThe Lights Triad Personality TestSensitive Men Rising DocumentaryMaslow's Hierarchy of Needs Reimagined – Big ThinkCorey Mascara Podcast on ValuesShow NotesOrigin Story and Human ComplexityScott shares his journey from being labeled “ungifted” with an auditory disability to becoming a cognitive scientist.A pivotal teacher asked, “What are you still doing here?”—sparking self-belief and ambition.“I was a champion for the quirky kids from the start.”His work has shifted from an early obsession with greatness to a lifelong pursuit of self-actualization.“Greatness is tied up in power and status. Self-actualization is about bringing your whole self.”Reimagining Maslow & The Sailboat MetaphorKaufman replaces the hierarchy of needs with a dynamic sailboat metaphor.The boat represents safety (security, connection, self-esteem); the sail represents growth and transcendence.“Unless we open our sail and become vulnerable to the wind, we can't move toward what matters.”Adds collective dimension: “There are other boats in the sea. Some people forget that.”Contrasts “horizontal transcendence” (connection) with “spiritual narcissism” (superiority).Mental Illness, Creativity, and ThrivingChallenges the binary between wellness and illness: “You can be mentally ill and thriving.”Cites research showing creative strengths in children of those with mental illness.“They get the goodies without the baddies—the imagination without the psychosis.”Dismantles false dichotomies in psychiatry: labels vs. lived experience.Encourages integration rather than repression of neurodivergence and emotion.Alignment, Identity, and Individual GrowthAlignment—not perfection—is the goal of self-actualization.“Self-actualization coaching isn't about judgment. It's about helping people align with their values.”Different people prioritize different values: connection, power, freedom, meaning.Encourages reflection: What roles do you cherish most? What do you say yes and no to?“Ask: What's my reason for being? What legacy do I want to leave?”Moral Psychology and MatteringDiscusses mattering and the perils of performative self-importance.“Some people matter too much… they take up so much space, there's no room for others.”Proposes a “mattering ecology” for shared dignity and contribution.On moral flexibility: “People who scream loudest often don't like themselves.”Calls for emotional regulation, reflection, and collective moral grounding in a polarized world.Relationships, Whole Love, and SpiritualityIntroduces the concept of “whole love”—where all parts of the self are seen, accepted, and growing together.“It's as simple and as hard as that.”Critiques spiritual narcissism and “dark empaths” who use others for ego validation.Real empathy requires asking: “Am I helping this person for their sake—or because I need to be needed?”“Good character doesn't need an excuse.”Practical Takeaways & Coaching ToolsDirects listeners to Choose Growth, a practical workbook co-authored with Dr. Jordan Feingold.Reflection prompts: What am I proud of?

In this episode of Think Thursday from the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, host Molly Watts explores the transformative mental health benefits of self-transcendence.After recently visiting the South Rim of the Grand Canyon for the first time, Molly shares her personal experience of awe and expansion, describing how moments of transcendence can shift perspective, lighten emotional burdens, and promote mental well-being.Drawing from Abraham Maslow's later work on human needs, Molly explains why self-transcendence sits above self-actualization as the highest human goal. She discusses how practices that cultivate transcendence — like connecting with nature, practicing gratitude, serving others, experiencing awe, and mindful meditation — can help individuals move beyond rumination, stress, and loneliness.Listeners will come away with practical strategies for creating small moments of transcendence in everyday life, even without traveling to iconic locations like the Grand Canyon. Molly issues a weekly challenge to encourage listeners to experience the power of stepping outside of themselves and into a deeper connection with the world around them.This episode is part of a special Mental Health Awareness Month series and continues the Alcohol Minimalist commitment to science-based strategies for building a more peaceful, mindful life.Topics Covered:Defining self-transcendence and why it matters for mental healthMolly's Grand Canyon experience as a personal example of peak experienceHow Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs evolved to include self-transcendenceThe role of transcendence in countering anxiety, depression, and ruminationFive daily practices for cultivating transcendenceResources and Links:Join the Alcohol Minimalists Facebook GroupWork with MollyRelated Episodes:The Science of AweIf you enjoy the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, please share the show with a friend, leave a review on your favorite podcast platform, and connect with Molly Watts on Instagram and Facebook. ★ Support this podcast ★

Are you trying to build success without having your basics covered first? In this enlightening episode, Scott Smith takes us back to the fundamentals with a fresh look at Abraham Maslow's time-tested Hierarchy of Needs theory from 1954. Scott explains why establishing a "peaceful foundation" is essential before pursuing bigger goals. While today's world pushes instant gratification, Scott reminds us that life works in certain ways that can't be hacked or bypassed. Whether you're thriving or struggling, this episode provides the remarkably simple yet powerful framework to ensure you're building your life and goals on solid ground. Learn how to establish the peaceful base that will support everything else you want to achieve. Featured Story: Scott revisits Abraham Maslow's revolutionary Hierarchy of Needs theory from 1954, explaining how this psychological foundation remains crucial for success today. He breaks down the hierarchy into practical terms—from securing your basic physiological needs to achieving self-esteem and ultimately transcendence—creating a roadmap for building a "peaceful foundation" that supports everything else in life. Key Takeaways: Before pursuing ambitious goals, ensure your basic physiological needs (food, shelter, clothing, income) are securely met Creating a sense of safety—personally, emotionally, financially, and health-wise—forms the second layer of your foundation Humans are tribal by nature; social connections and belonging to a community are essential for happiness Self-esteem and confidence naturally develop after establishing the previous foundations Transcendence (focusing on the greater good beyond yourself) only becomes possible with a solid foundation No "secret hack" can replace having these fundamental needs met in the proper order Health should never be sacrificed in pursuit of other goals—it will eventually catch up with you Memorable Quotes: "Stand up, take a step, and repeat. How long? Till you get what you want. Why would you stop before you got there anyway?" "A peaceful foundation is just a solid place. It's peaceful. It's not rocking. It's not shaking. And from there, we can build anything." "What a man can be, he must be. Self-actualization requires mastery of those previous needs." Scott's Three-Step Approach: Build Your Peaceful Base - Identify and address any gaps in your physiological needs and safety. Ensure you have stable food, shelter, income, and health before tackling bigger ambitions. Connect Authentically - Prioritize in-person, synchronous connections with like-minded people. Join groups or communities that share your values and goals to fulfill your need for belonging. Respect the Process - Follow the natural progression of Maslow's hierarchy rather than trying to skip steps. Build your foundation first, then focus on esteem needs, and finally allow yourself to transcend toward greater impact. Connect With Scott: Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
