Toward a Psychology of Being

First published in 1962 ‘Toward a Psychology of Being’ was written by Abraham H. Maslow an American psychologist who was best known for creating Maslow's hierarchy of needs a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling innate human needs in priority culminating in self-actualization.</br>This book develops on Maslow’s key theories of motivation and self-actualization which were first introduced in Maslow’s 1954 book Motivation and Personality. It gives a series of hypotheses about the human condition dealing with important questions about people’s intrinsic desires the nature of well-being and the process of psychological growth.</br>Professor Maslow claims that most of us are prepping to live rather than truly living. Therefore instead of being a person who only wishes to reach his true ‘call’ in life you should enter a state of becoming. Always trying to reach your maximum potential and live in harmony with your natural needs.
