Humanistic Psychology emerged as the third aspect of psychology in the 1950’s emerging in response to Psychoanalysis in Europe and Behaviorism in the West. We discuss the great minds of Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers and others with their contribution to psychology. In this episode, we discuss these major concepts:

• Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
• A person-centered therapy
• Exploring how to embrace unconditional positive regard for patients and clients
• Peak experiences

Two words can make all the difference in being the best leader possible and maximizing your team's productivity. The two words are listening and motivation. When you practice active listening and know the motivation behind every team member, you can catapult your business to growth potential you didn't even think was possible.

Pulling from Amazon's Leadership Principles, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and McClelland's Human Motivation Theory, I break down how you can triangulate the most effective path to evolving yourself into the best leader you can be while developing your team to be more productive, driven, motivated, accountable, and successful while simultaneously creating a dynamic culture that retains your employees and accelerates your business success sustainably.

Ryan Brown and Steve Weingarden focus on the importance of finding meaningful work and working towards self-actualization. How can self-actualization be applied to your career development?

Abraham Maslow was a founder of humanistic psychology. His needs hierarchy is a hallmark of introductory psychology courses.

Do you ever feel stuck and completely unmotivated? It's as if life itself just takes control of your decisions and forces you to live in a world where you are unhappy? Well, what if I told you there is a way to undo that sense of dread?

This week, DSU undergraduate psychology researcher Michael Guynn joins LOL Adulthood to discuss neuroplasticity, free will, and self actualization.

These three concepts illustrate the power of the human mind and how we as people are capable of creating an ideal reality.

Discussion focal points include the power of redirecting thoughts, habit building, the consequences of self-doubt, the science behind neuroplasticity, information processing and self actualization.

(-:

Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. 

—Viktor Frankl 

We have more freedom than at any time in human history. But the majority of us do nothing with this freedom. 

Instead, we impose constraints on ourselves, despite fighting so hard to remove these constraints. 

We decide what’s possible and enforce artificial limits on our lives. 

We do this because it makes us comfortable; it feels manageable, it’s just easier. 

But as Abraham Maslow explained, the pinnacle of life is the enjoyment of “peak experiences.” 

Today, these “rare, exciting, oceanic, deeply moving, exhilarating, elevating experiences” are within your grasp. 

All you have to do is be open and available to where the universe wants to take you. 

Put away your fears and go.
After all, you’re free.
But what do you do when you have infinite possibilities? 

How do you proceed? 

The primary goal of freedom is a fulfilled existence. 

And while it’s exciting to have an endless variety of hot dogs, work- out programs, and luxury automobiles, these material elements of life have little or no bearing on your true happiness and fulfillment. 

Our powers lie within. 

The mysteries of life, the true might of the human experience, exist in life’s emotional aspects. How do we feel about who we are? How do we feel about our loved ones? What do we create and share? How do we make others feel? Our emotional worldview determines what we’re able to manifest and, most importantly, how we feel about our life experience. Therefore, the understanding of your emotions and the emotions of the people with whom you surround yourself is paramount to a meaningful life. 

While we all desire happiness and fulfillment, popular culture gives us all the wrong directions on how to reach these goals. The fulfillment we all seek only comes from being creative in our daily life and sharing that creativity with others. This doesn’t mean you need to be a painter and live the life of an artist. It means acting on your creative impulses, pursuing your purpose, whether as an accountant, entrepreneur, or guitarist, engaging in a skill you find challenging and enjoyable. 

The result of this approach will be your best work. 

From here, your success and fulfillment will ensue. 

The Age of Ideas has arrived. 

Today, applying your creativity will not only bring you fulfillment, it is the primary skill you need to create value. 

It’s time for you to be truly free. 

It’s time to spend your brief time on earth doing the things you love, surrounded by the people you care about the most. 

It’s time to share what makes you special and serve the needs of others through a purpose greater than your selfish desires. 

Now is the time to realize the gift you’ve been given.
 Today is when you make it happen.
 Do it for all of us. We can’t wait to see the magic you make. 

The concept is often presented as "Maslow’s Pyramid" but I think that concept is flawed (some say the theory is wrong) so I have created an interactive Lifewall that improves on Maslow’s starting point.  

Do Psychologists still use Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? It’s not really a psychological tool but it can be useful to help us understand our behavior, what motivates us and can also be applied to business in the workplace. The ultimate objective is self actualization.

Why is the internal structure of Bacteria so different from the architecture of a nucleated cell? Why do some kinds of organisms stay small, whereas others grow to enormous size? What evolutionary challenges drove life’s major transitions into more and more complex varieties…and what does studying these areas reveal about the changing landscape of our global economy?

New research into the science of scale — how physics operates on systems of different sizes — reveals universal speed limits imposed on biology by the energy required to make or repair component parts. It explains the varying evolutionary pressures on organisms to reallocate resources and change their body plans as they grow. It helps to resolve fierce old debates about just how much contingent history limits a creature’s future evolutionary options. And it illuminates how tradeoffs in resiliency and efficiency constrain the strategies of animals and human institutions alike, favoring self-reliance in some contexts and cooperation in others. Scale helps us prune the tree of possibilities and understand what are and are not likely futures for this planet.

We have a lot to learn from germs and insects…

This was a delightful and interesting conversation with Dr. Robert McGrath, psychologist and author.  Among other topics, we discuss:

*  What are the six virtues that religious and moral traditions across the planet have in common?

*  What have Dr. McGrath's studies of over one million people determined to be the “essential three” virtues?

*  What does it really take to be a good person?

*  What are the roles of courage, curiosity and humor?

*  What can Ben Franklin teach us about virtues?

*  Can we have too much of a virtue?

*  What happens if you are great at one virtue but lousy at another, are you still virtuous? 

*  Are virtues or moral sentiments seen in animals?

Guest Robert McGrath, PhD, is a world expert on the topic of character strength and virtue, and the co-author of The Power of Character Strengths (with Ryan Niemiec), which is coming February 2019.  Dr. McGrath is also the Director of the School of Psychology, Fairleigh Dickinson University, the recipient of the New Jersey Psychological Association Psychologist of the Year Award, the Senior Scientist at the VIA Institute on Character and the Director of Integrated Care for the Underserved of Northeastern New Jersey.    He will gladly answer any questions about his work on virtue and character strengths at mcgrath@fdu.edu.

She shares stories of case examples of scapegoating at work and at a funeral. Lastly, she reviews practical tips for what to do if you find that you are the scapegoat or if your group is scapegoating someone else.
