I’ve always thought of the pyramid as a representation of levels of importance. I’ve never thought of it as levels of achievement. When the needs at the bottom are not met the human mind will automatically concentrate on those needs over the higher needs. For instance when someone is starving they might be more willing to steal than they would if social acceptance was at the forefront of their problems instead of starvation.

Okay. With due respect, I agree with Mr. Kaufman that Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs pyramid is not a perfect tool for human development. Honestly, I don't judge tools like Maslow's Needs Hierarchy pyramid for perfection; I judge them for USEFULNESS. Maslow's Needs Hierarchy pyramid, though not a perfect tool, is a USEFUL TOOL. I'm sure lots of you have books, cartoons, fairy tales, TV shows, & movies that, though are not perfect, are USEFUL to you. (FYI: Disney's cartoon Lion King is a PERFECT & USEFUL tool.) Let's be clear & honest with ourselves & each other! If you can't eat, how can you work? If you don't have warm housing, how can you work &/or study? If you're sick, how can you go anywhere, or do anything? IF YOU CAN'T SURVIVE (have food, drink, warm housing), YOUR HEALTH DROPS & SAFETY WON'T MATTER! THAT'S WHY people will sell their bodies, or work under slavery (inhumane conditions), just to survive. If you can't survive, how can you think about anything else, let alone safety, relationships, self-esteem & self-actualization? THEREFORE, IN THIS TIME, Maslow's Needs Hierarchy pyramid is the MOST USEFUL TOOL we have now. THEREFORE, Let's focus on getting the MOST HEALTHY foods & drinks for ourselves & EVERYONE NOW! Let's provide warm safe shelters for EVERYONE NOW! Let's keep ALL environments CLEAN & NEAT, so we saty healthy & LIVE FREE & LIVE WELL, NOW & ALWAYS (ALL THE TIME)!

@@mtnvalley9298 Saying "the truth will set you free" is another way of saying that lies keep you imprisoned. You can make that idea very concrete. Imagine yourself in a room. As long as you fail to learn the truth, that there is a single door leading your outside, you will remain trapped inside, in lies. You may stumble on the floor or onto the walls, but nothing short of knowing the truth will set you free. As important as truth is, truth alone is not enough. _Truth told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent._ In the room analogy, think of it like learning that you can leave the room through the window. It's not false, but following that truth will hurt you. This is why you need to follow truth with love.

...."What is good for oneself is automatically good for others...." This seems on its face to be quite the opposite of what Maslow teaches us. In fact, it's a GIANT leap. While transcendence is worthwhile, perhaps ultimately so, it is not, has never been the essence of human existence. What Maslow has right is that we must walk before we run, be safe before we venture out and explore ourselves in context of others. But saying that what's good for one is a ditto for others is simply not logical. Humans are selfish from the womb....and even if you've forgotten your own childhood, just look around at any family for proof of this fact. And if we are born selfish (and I do not mean a moral selfishness, but merely a condition where self is all we know and what we have to feed to grow and survive), then as we temper that selfishness as Maslow concludes in our attempt to move up the hierarchy, it does not follow that what is good for me is good for others. You use the term "uniquely becoming"...and for good reason. Our uniqueness is that which is on display in Maslow's hierarchy. It is not our transcendence. Sorry, but I appreciate the attempt to expound upon Maslow's concepts, but you've done him no service or favor. And certainly with regard to the value his theory provides in terms of a tool to analyze and move forward in a world where we move in and out of fellowship with other humans, it is best to leave what he created to be used in that manner rather than changing the model to fit another theory.

You made an entire video to say nothing , although Maslow didn’t use a pyramid what him and other psychologists are trying to state is that if there is a severely developmental issue in any of the stages that’s where an issue with self acutualozation happens. Even false senses of self-actualization because of the damage done in prior stages. Can one heal up and down the pyramid ? Absolutely but in the grand scheme of things and children develop naturally with all these needs met , they have an easier transition to a true sense of self-actualization. Being on the cover of a magazine as self-actualization is feeding ego and screams that somewhere along the way there was damage done to a need maybe abandoned or bullied or constantly ignored felt invisible , neglected hence the jaded perception of self-actualization and the need to feed ego “see world here I am successful, look at me”

D Lawrence Miller I think he oversimplified a bit there and his point was lost. I believe what he meant is that if you are transcendent of mind then there is no need for a partition between yourself and society because you are yourself a part of society and in some way or another dependent on that society so what benefits you is benefiting society and what harms society will eventually come to harm you. Because of this, somebody who is transcendent would not want to exploit others. I realise he didn't say this but I think it's what he meant. Also, I don't believe there is any objective difference between good and evil but holding this view is only beneficial to society if you can transcend the self/others dichotomy. EDIT: But I should say there's no scientific basis for the hierarchy of needs in the first place and this guy's development was not scientific either. It is another over simplified model which can be helpful from time to time as a starting point but doesn't need to be followed religiously.

I've never really connected with Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs. I don't even know how you would operationally define being self-actualized. What measurement tool would tell you if a person has "become everything they are most uniquely capable of becoming?" And what about the people who become everything they are most uniquely capable of becoming when they are deprived of the lower levels on the hierarchy. For example, the people Victor Frankl describes in the Jewish Concentration Camps who went out of the their way to save other prisoners? The soldier in battle who rises above his circumstances and acts bravely in a moment that turns the battle in a positive direction. Nope. I just don't buy it.

It doesn’t sound like he understands Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs. This is more like trying to conflate needs with personality traits and human development. Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs can be better explained like climbing up an icy mountain. One during which you can fall down and climb back up numerous times depending on what happens in life. I appreciate the idea of trying to combine hierarchy of needs with human development and personality traits, but this is a misrepresentation of trying to “rethink” a concept.

When those in the lower deck want water, they pass by the upper deck and say: If we tear a hole in the bottom of the ship, we will not harm those above us.

Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs is the most overrated motivational model of all time. There is practically zero empirical evidence for its validity, even A.H. Maslow himself admitted it was only a hypothesis he developed a priori. Yet countless „coaches“ and part-time psychologists preach it like some sort of obvious truth. If you’re interested in the topic of psychological models for motivation, you should refer to self-determination theory by Deci and Ryan (in terms of content) or V.H. Vroom‘s expetancy theory (in terms of process).

The "raw truth" of it is really convincing. But we all at the same time feel its too simplistic. Same goes with Maslow's HoN - its too "raw" to disagree with, so for most of the people it is obvious truth, yes. I will search about the alternatives you presented Have you ever heard about ERG Theory? It's a "step ahead" of Maslow's HoN, and I really find it interesting.
