One of the founders of humanistic psychology, Abraham Maslow, developed theories on human behaviour and motivation that have had a major impact on the public consciousness. His theories shaped not only psychology but many other fields, including counselling, education and management. At the time of his death 25 years ago, Maslow left a vast collection of articles, essays and letters intended for publication: now the noted Maslow biographer, Edward Hoffman, has compiled the most compelling of these writings into one volume.

In these articles, Maslow shares his thoughts on a wide range of topics, from self-actualization and well-being to American politics and organizational management. Hoffman provides a biographical introduc

I knew I’d love it, and I was right!

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2021

“In short, I do not seek perfection in human nature. To do so is a big mistake and a sure path toward disillusionment and unhappiness in life.” - Abraham Maslow from Future Visions
“I am not saying that humans can become psychologically perfect. They cannot, except perhaps for a moment or two. Rather, I am only stating that humans can improve and, furthermore, that we should help them to do so. Psychotherapy and humanistic education should become the science of helping people improve. “ - Abraham Maslow from Future Visions

I got this book after leading positive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman referenced it in his great new book called Transcend. I love Abraham Maslow and feel a deep kinship to him and his work. Maslow created the “hierarchy of needs” and boldly stated that our need to “self-actualize” was, in fact, a fundamental need that naturally arises within each of us as our more basic needs are met. I like to call this need to actualize our potential in service to the world “Soul Oxygen.”

Now… I had already been deeply influenced by Maslow and his thinking, but there was something about reading his unpublished essays and journal thoughts that made me feel that much more connected to this great man.

Here are my 5 favorite big ideas from this book, which I share more on in this PhilosophersNotesTV episode:

1. The Eupsychian Ideal
2. The Psychology of Happiness
3. Stoic Philosophy
4. Vicious Cultural Influences
5. The Jonah Complex

I don’t even know what to say about the book other than: I’m going back to reread it all now. (lol)
Alright. I’m back. It’s impossible to touch on all the power in this book so I’ll leave you to a personal check in with Abe and your highest self.

Here’s to stepping into the Future Vision of YOU and your most radiantly alive, eudaimonically and joyfully heroic self. TODAY!!

The Unpublished Genius of Abraham Maslow

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2009

Perhaps Colin Wilson says it all in his introduction to this book: "... there is a sense that Maslow has STILL not come into his own. His significance lies in the future and will become apparent in the 21st century." By publishing these papers, Edward Hoffman has done a great service to those who want to know more of the advanced theories of Maslow regarding self-actualizing, metavalues and metamotivations. The book features an excellent biographical sketch of Maslow's career by Hoffman. There are many gems in this book, but my favorite is "17 - Higher Motivation and the New Psychology." In this paper Dr. Maslow sets aside his prepared text and delivers a spell-binding talk about his unfolding theories. It was late in his career, at the University of Maine, and fortunately it was recorded and transcribed. To give you an idea of how important Maslow felt it was, he states early on: "I am just at the point of developing a new theory, and I am not quite courageous enough to accept its implications. It almost frightens me. I am scared of what it may mean in overturning mainstream psychological notions, and it rouses a whole conflict of pride and humility, hubris and fear. Well, let me try it, and if my voice begins to quiver, you'll know why." He then rolls out essential material for the scholar or layperson who seeks to learn his insights regarding values, metavalues, and self-actualizing that were overlooked at the time, and have yet to be fully appreciated.
