About this audiobook
Abraham H. Maslow was one of the foremost spokespersons of humanistic psychology. In The Farthest Reaches of Human Nature, an extension of his classic Toward a Psychology of Being, Maslow explores the complexities of human nature by using both the empirical methods of science and the aesthetics of philosophical inquiry. With essays on biology, synergy, creativity, cognition, self-actualization, and the hierarchy of needs, this posthumous work is a wide-ranging synthesis of Maslow's inspiring and influential ideas.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I was impressed with this book by Abraham Maslow as he looked at human potential in many aspects of modern culture from business to science to family to education and more. He applies his hierachy of needs to these different aspects of society and gives examples, from the basics of survival in these areas up the pyramid to the self-actualization or transcendence beyond these social institutions. The book covers area of human thought and action including creativity, health, values, education, being, and motivation. His approach made sense to me decades ago and, in spite of his detractors, it still compliments the individualist views to which I adhere. His style is very readable for those unfamiliar with technical psychology as he lays out the methods of achieving these farther reaches of human nature.
