Motivation and Personality

Brief Overview

The book «Motivation and Personality» by Abraham Maslow explores human motivation and psychology, offering the theory of the hierarchy of needs. Maslow argues that people are driven by five levels of needs: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. He emphasizes that higher needs become relevant only after basic ones are satisfied. Maslow also examines the concept of self-actualizing individuals who reach their full potential and analyzes their characteristics. The book is a foundational work in the field of humanistic psychology and provides deep insights into human nature and motivation.
