A Theory of Human Motivation

By: Abraham H. Maslow

Narrated by: Troy W. Hudson

US psychologist Abraham Maslow’s A Theory of Human Motivation is a classic of psychological research that helped change the field for good. Like many field-changing thinkers, Maslow was not just a talented researcher, he was also a creative thinker - able to see things from a new perspective and show them in a different light. He studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people.

Maslow generated new ideas, forging what he called "positive" or "humanistic psychology". His argument was that humans are psychologically motivated by a series of hierarchical needs, starting with the most essential first. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans.

Entenderás porqué te motiva lo que te motiva

Excelente libro, entendí las motivaciones del humano desde una perspectiva muy interesante, entender esto me ha ayudado a conocerme mejor, a mi pareja, conocer mejor a mis conocidos, entender porqué los mercados financieros se mueven de la forma en que lo hacen cuando hay "miedo" y cuando hay "seguridad", Conocer que podría pasar cuando mis motivaciones actuales sean satisfechas.

Excelente lectura, básico de la psicología. Totalmente recomendado!

Very descriptive

I liked the content of this book. Very informative and provided a very solid, thorough description of his hierarchy. I liked how it also provided real world examples of these theories he explained.

GREAT BREAKDOWN!

Easy to understand and grasp! z I learned a lot about myself and things that I will apply to my life 

Classic Psychotherapy Theory

A short listen that fleshes out Maslow’s classic diagram of the hierarchy of needs. Explains what motivates humans.

Fascinating and Useful

Really enjoyed learning about the nature of these levels and relation to other other bigger questions, and implications for psychotherapy.
