Motivation
Introduction/edition by Abraham Maslow (second edition work referenced)
Book •
Abraham Maslow's work on motivation outlines a humanistic framework for understanding human needs, culminating in the famous hierarchy of needs that ranges from physiological necessities to self-actualization.
Fadiman and Robert Frazier edited a later edition, streamlining Maslow's extensive footnotes to make the argument more accessible while preserving its core insights.
The book argues for studying the full range of human experience, including peak and transpersonal states, rather than focusing solely on pathology.
Maslow's approach helped found humanistic psychology and influenced later transpersonal perspectives that emphasize growth, meaning, and higher states of consciousness.
The text remains widely cited across psychology and related fields as a foundational statement on human potential.
