"What a masterpiece! Maslow 2.0--a must-read for anyone who wants to understand what Maslow meant by self-transcendence."
--Angela Duckworth, author of Grit "This is the book we've all been waiting for--nothing less than a breathtaking new psychology of humanity."
--Susan Cain, author of Quiet "Scott Barry Kaufman is one of my favorite thinkers about the psychology of getting better and growing as a person."
--Ryan Holiday, author of The Daily Stoic A bold reimagining of Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs--by one of the leading psychologists of our time
When psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman discovered Abraham Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, he knew it contained fresh insights for living in today's chaotic world. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, building a new level at the peak of the famous hierarchy of needs pyramid--and integrating the latest research on attachment, connection, creativity, purpose, and other building blocks of a life well-lived. Transcend provides a roadmap for finding fulfillment, not by striving for money, success, or "happiness," but by becoming the best version of ourselves, or what Maslow called self-actualization. With never-before-published insights and new research findings, along with exercises for gaining insight into your own unique personality, this empowering book is a manual for reflection and personal growth--and a tool for nurturing a deeper connection not only with our highest potential, but also with the rest of humanity.
