Description
How to realise your full potential and live your most creative life - for readers of Grit and fans of Martin Seligman.
When psychologist and hugely influential podcaster (The Psychology Podcast) Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, lectures, and essays, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, creativity, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived.
Kaufman's new hierarchy of needs provides a roadmap for finding purpose and fulfilmentβnot by striving for money, success, or 'happiness', but by becoming the best version of ourselves, or what Maslow called self-actualization. Transcend reveals a level of human potential that connects us not only to our highest creative potential, but also to one another.
With never-before-published insights and new research findings, along with exercises and opportunities to gain insight into your own unique personality, this empowering book is a manual for self-analysis and nurturing a deeper connection not only with our highest potential but also with the rest of humanity.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Transcend by Scott Barry Kaufman is highly praised for reviving and updating Abraham Maslow's concepts of self-actualisation and self-transcendence using modern psychological research. Reviewers commend Kaufman for integrating decades of research, providing a fresh perspective on human potential and well-being while serving as both a guide and insightful exploration into Maslow's theories. The book is hailed as a must-read for those seeking to understand and apply these principles to live a fulfilling, connected, and meaningful life in contemporary society.
