Toward a Psychology of Being (General Press)

First published in 1962, Toward a Psychology of Being was written by Abraham H. Maslow, an American psychologist who was best known for creating Maslows hierarchy of needs, a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling innate human needs in priority, culminating in self-actualization.

This book develops on Maslows key theories of motivation and self-actualization, which were first introduced in Maslows 1954 book, Motivation, and Personality. It gives a series of hypotheses about the human condition, dealing with important questions about peoples intrinsic desires, the nature of well-being, and the process of psychological growth.

Professor Maslow claims that most of us are prepping to live rather than truly living. Therefore, instead of being a person who only wishes to reach his true call in life, you should enter a state of becoming. Always trying to reach your maximum potential and live in harmony with your natural needs.
