"A Theory of Human Motivation" by Abraham H. Maslow

"A Theory of Human Motivation" by Abraham H. Maslow

book review by Riley Burnham 1/28/2024

yea(!!) this is spot-on

Maslow's hierarchy has been pretty thoroughly integrated into our culture & understanding, so the content here is reaffirming rather than groundbreaking [to me]

it's a worthwhile book to endeavor, especially when the audio version is ~1 hour long

​​​​​​​we get Maslow's distinctions between real needs in their various manifestations, & an interesting comparison of overlap & satiation [for instance: hunger satiated by smoking, drinking water...] -- as well as some psychology w/, for instance, how children develop in relation to their sense of safety...

great stuff
