Podcasts about transcend the new science

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? What do I wish to change? What's my legacy?Encourages clarity around values and meaningful roles.Offers self-coaching questions to foster personal development and alignment.Provides listeners with tools for discernment, purpose, and sustainable growth.Pam King's Key TakeawaysScience and spirituality work together as an integrated pursuit of truth.Intelligence is so much more than a thought-process.Self-actualization leads us well beyond the self.Life is like a sailboat: so let the wind fill your sails as you dance on the waves toward our most valued harbor—and may the tides rise for all of us.To be a whole-person means resting in a loving compassion for ourselves and others—an openness and oneness with the world.“Many people could carry you across the bridge, but only you can walk the path.”About Scott Barry KaufmanScott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive scientist, author, and humanistic psychologist exploring the depths of human potential.

Selvrealisering representerer en grunnstein i humanistisk psykologi, en retning som ser på mennesket som mer enn summen av sine deler eller produkter av sin fortid. Humanister som Abraham Maslow og Carl Rogers fokuserte på menneskets potensial for vekst, behovet for mening, og søken etter selvaktualisering. I denne sammenhengen blir Scott Barry Kaufmans bok, "Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization", et moderne ekko av disse tidlige humanistiske ideene, og utvider dem med nyere forskning og perspektiver. Dagens episode skal reflektere over hvordan konseptet «selvrealisering», belyst gjennom humanistisk psykologi og Kaufmans arbeid, kan tjene som en veiviser for personlig vekst. Vi skal innom de ulike nivåene i det klassiske behovshierarkiet, men også videre opp i kosmisk bevissthet, hva nå det egentlig er for noe. Velkommen skal du være!Maslows Hierarki av BehovMaslows teori om selvrealisering er kanskje best kjent gjennom hans hierarki av behov, en pyramide som begynner med de mest grunnleggende fysiologiske nødvendighetene og bygger opp til toppen av selvrealisering. Maslow hevdet at før et individ kan engasjere seg i selvrealisering, må mer grunnleggende behov som sikkerhet, kjærlighet og tilhørighet, og anerkjennelse tilfredsstilles. Selvrealisering blir sett på som det høyeste uttrykket for menneskelig motivasjon, der en person streber etter å realisere sitt fulle potensial og engasjere seg i meningsfulle og selvutvidende aktiviteter.Kaufmans TransendensScott Barry Kaufman bygger videre på Maslows fundament i sin bok "Transcend". Kaufman foreslår en oppdatert modell av behovshierarkiet som inkluderer en ny topp: transendens. I Kaufmans øyne er selvrealisering ikke sluttmålet, men heller et springbrett mot en tilstand av transendens, der individet streber etter å bidra til noe større enn seg selv. Dette skiftet reflekterer en utvikling i humanistisk psykologi som anerkjenner verdien av fellesskap og tilknytning til noe større, i tillegg til individets interne vekst.Vekst som MenneskeMaslows og Kaufmans arbeid sammen antyder at vekst som menneske ikke er en lineær eller selvsentrert prosess, men snarere en dynamisk utvikling mot å forstå og transcendere egne grenser til fordel for et større hele. Dette perspektivet utfordrer oss til å se utover oss selv og våre umiddelbare behov, og å vurdere hvordan våre handlinger og streben etter selvaktualisering kan bidra til velferden til samfunnet og menneskeheten som helhet.Humanistisk Psykologi som VeiviserHumanistisk psykologi, med sitt fokus på menneskets potensial for vekst og behovet for mening, tilbyr et kraftfullt rammeverk for personlig utvikling. Det understreker viktigheten av selvrefleksjon, ærlighet med seg selv, og en åpenhet for endring. Ved å anerkjenne våre iboende styrker og svakheter, kan vi bedre navigere i livets utfordringer og muligheter for vekst.Implementering i Daglig LivFor å vokse som menneske i lys av disse ideene, kan vi begynne med å kultivere en dypere selvforståelse og bevissthet om våre egne behov og ønsker. Praktisering av mindfulness og selvrefleksjon kan hjelpe oss med å identifisere våre dypere formål og verdier. Videre kan engasjement i kreative og meningsfulle aktiviteter bidra til vår følelse av selvrealisering og til slutt lede oss mot transendens.KonklusjonSelvrealisering, som sett gjennom linsen av humanistisk psykologi og utvidet av Scott Barry Kaufman, tilbyr en rik og flerdimensjonal tilnærming til personlig vekst. Ved å anerkjenne både vårt behov for selvaktualisering og vårt potensial for å transcendere disse personlige ambisjonene til fordel for et større fellesskap, tilbyr humanistisk psykologi en veiviser for de som søker å utvide sin forståelse av seg selv og sin plass i verden.

Figuring out who we are takes a lifetime. In our teens, we might think we're destined to become a doctor…only to find out that med school isn't for us. We might believe we've found our perfect match in our twenties, but then discover that there's other fish in the sea. We might even experience a mid-life crisis and become an entirely new person at age fifty! Identity and self-awareness are complicated and different for everyone.To teenagers, however, it can feel like adult life is rapidly approaching….meaning they've got to figure it all out right away! They might rush into a college major, a relationship, or a big relocation when they're not fully ready. It can be hard to know what you want for the rest of your life when you've only been alive for 18 years! This week we're talking about identity, awareness and self- actualization, so we can help kids slow down and embrace the process of finding themselves. We're joined by Scott Barry Kaufman, author of Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization. Scott is a humanistic psychologist who has taught at Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania and New York University. He writes the regular column “Beautiful Minds” in the Scientific American and hosts The Psychology Podcast, which has over 10 million downloads! His work has appeared in The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review, and Business Insider. He's here to help us define self-actualization–and how our teens can harness it for a happier life.In our interview, we're discussing how we can guide kids to develop healthy confidence, define their life's goals, and access their creativity to discover who they truly are.

This week our guest is cognitive scientist, Scott Barry Kaufman, who has an impressive resume that includes teaching at NYU and Columbia, writing for Scientific American, hosting a podcast on psychology that is so definitive it's actually called The Psychology Podcast, and is the author of several books including his latest, Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization. In this episode we take a very psychology-centric approach to technology, looking very specifically at how we can navigate the negative aspects of technology that threaten our ability to be ourselves and to be happy.

He never actually drew a pyramid in any of his writings. What I wanted to get at was more of the spirit of that connection between security being the boat itself, safe and secure. Do you feel like you don't have a lot of holes in your boat? Do you feel like you can move without water coming in and drowning you? But also realizing and recognizing just a safe boat ain't going to get you anywhere, bud. You need to eventually open up that sail and be vulnerable to the threats, the inevitable unknown of the world." SBK [10:42] Greg reads his aphorism of Maslow: "The cerebral paradox, the elusive obvious, the letting go of holding on. Finding by not looking, unearthing without disturbing the ground, going to pieces without falling apart, accepting answers without question, unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, unconscious competence."

In this episode of the Fueling Creativity podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood interview cognitive scientist and humanistic psychologist, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, about his most recent book, Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization. In this book, he reimagines Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Dr. Kaufman shares his discoveries from diving deep into the psychological theories of Abraham Maslow, highlighting powerful thoughts on how educators can establish a safe environment with students and how feelings of uncertainty and insecurity play a major role in a child's ability to learn. Dr. Kaufman also speaks on why exploration is a key driver of creativity as well as how to encourage students to be open to new experiences, be aware of their judgments and biases, and find meaning in life. You'll hear a fascinating analogy of how life is like a sailboat and how microconnections can help you establish meaningful relationships with your students and colleagues. Plus, Dr. Kaufman sheds light on how twice-exceptional students develop different skillsets, along with what educators can do to maximize their potential in the classroom. Dr. Kaufman's Tips for Teachers: Be open to new ports that you might be wanting to sail to throughout your semester. Encourage respectful dissent in your classroom. Model openness for your students.

Today, Charles and Robert discuss a new wave of positive psychology and a re-imagining of Maslow's Hierarchy by Scott Barry Kaufman called https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/49625550 (Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization). Kaufman updates Maslow's hierarchy with a more practical sailboat metaphor which you can learn more about https://scottbarrykaufman.com/sailboat-metaphor/ (on his website). Instead of a pyramid, which implies climbing towards the pinnacle, and anchoring to a specific level - we talk about a much more flexible model of a sailboat navigating the ocean with other people/boats around us. We think this is a great metaphor for personal and professional lives and hope you get something out of it as well.

In this episode, we dig into some of the science behind intelligence, IQ, and peak potential, and explore Dr. Kaufman's ideas around self-actualization and the sailboat of human needs.

Finally, we didn't miss the opportunity to chat with Dr. Kaufman about his ideas for a more humanistic approach to education, what he calls a system of inspiration, not evaluation. Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman is one of the world's most revered psychologists with a wide range of areas of expertise, including his academic work on intelligence, self-actualization, and the satisfaction of our most core human needs.

We refer to how evolutionary psychology has neglected the study of transcendence, and other related topics. We go through different individual differences and how they influence how people approach these needs, including personality differences, differences in IQ and intelligence, and attachment styles. We also mention the dark and light triads of human personality. Finally, we talk about purpose, and humanity's potential. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, BO WINEGARD, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, DAVID DIAS, ANJAN KATTA, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, MAX BEILBY, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, OMARI HICKSON, PHYLICIA STEVENS, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, AND JOÃO ALVES DA SILVA!

*There was a previous version of this episode that cut off part of the introduction. The audio is now fixed!* Earlier this year, Moriah read Scott Barry Kaufman's book Ungifted, which explores conventional wisdom about the childhood predictors of adult success and argues for an approach to intelligence that values each person's skills, passions, and goals. Scott weaves his personal narrative of being an ungifted student into the book and Moriah saw her own experiences related to how she learned to perceive her intelligence and how she got into college reflected in his story. Moriah deeply connected to Scott's story and for the first time, she felt a little less ashamed of her academic path. In fact, it seemed like Scott was narrating Moriah's own life at points, and she soon found out that they attended the same high school! In this episode, Moriah speaks to Scott about growing up with a learning disability, being the underdog, and integrating adverse experiences into our lives to become self-actualized. Moriah also opens the episode with her shame story!! Which she is very nervous about! And lastly, Scott recently released his new book Transcend: The New Science of Self Actualization, which we touch on in this episode with varying degrees of success.

Everyone says, "Flatten the curve." But there are two curves. We all know the main one: the spread of coronavirus. The other curve is the spread of psychological viruses; fear, anxiety, worry and panic. We're all experiencing Maslow's hierarchy of needs. We started out attacking each other for basic items like toilet paper, then we moved on to connection (Zoom calls and FaceTime), but how do we get to the top of the pyramid (i.e. self-actualization)? I called up Scott Barry Kaufman, a humanistic psychologist and author of "Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization." And he had a lot of practical advice. One of his tips: We don't have to worry about finding our one true purpose. We just need to find a purpose right now and pursue it. This episode will help make a roadmap for finding your purpose and fulfillment while stuck in Quarantine. And after. I write about all my podcasts!

Welcome back to the 40th episode of the Hard Thing Podcast. Before we get to the show go to  https://mailchi.mp/5e94a17af33d/thehardthingpodcast (https://mailchi.mp/5e94a17af33d/thehardthingpodcast)  To give me feedback. Today, I share my conversation with Scott Barry Kaufman. He is a psychologist as the author of the new book https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-New-Science-Self-Actualization/dp/B082J63D8Q/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=transcend&qid=1585570240&s=books&sr=1-1 (Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization). The book comes out on April 7th and is available for pre-order. Scott also hosts the https://scottbarrykaufman.com/podcast/ (Psychology Podcast) and is reachable at https://scottbarrykaufman.com/ (https://scottbarrykaufman.com/). Today we talk about psychology, specifically about Maslow's theory of needs and how most of what we thought Maslow talked about is not completely true. Scott helps put Maslow's work in the right context. I appreciated today's conversation because I've always been fascinated with the “Hierarchy of Needs” and today we talk about that in depth.

The New Science of Self Actualization with Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman ---------------------------When I feel frustrated with my place in the world, it's often because I feel I'm not living up to my full potential. I have more to offer, more to give - and yet I'm not making it happen. Maslow defined this desire to become our best self as the need to self-actualize. But how do we do this?  Achievement triggers the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine. Our brain lights up with happy chemicals as we become our best selves, and the opposite is true when we play small.  On this week's podcast, you'll meet a psychologist whose work focuses on creativity, talent, self-achievement, and actualization.    Listen & Learn How people with obvious challenges and even disadvantages can often out-perform their gifted colleagues  Why standardized tests often fail to predict actual potential How to look past intelligence and talent and focus on you vs. you Why you have to transcend yourself to self actualize   Links & Resources Scott's Website   ABOUT OUR GUEST Scott Barry Kaufman is a humanistic psychologist, author, podcaster, and popular science writer.   His work focuses on intelligence, creativity, and human potential.  He's the author of a number of books, including his most-recent: Transcend: The New Science of Self Actualization.    Nutritional Tip of the Week: Recipes During Quarantine Got Questions?
