Transcend
The New Science of Self-Actualization
Book • 2020
In this groundbreaking book, Scott Barry Kaufman updates Maslow's hierarchy of needs by integrating Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence with the latest research on attachment, connection, creativity, love, and purpose.
Kaufman's new hierarchy of needs serves as a roadmap for finding purpose and fulfillment by becoming the best version of oneself, rather than striving for money, success, or happiness.
The book emphasizes the importance of merging self-development with a connection to the world, highlighting that self-actualization requires both individual growth and a deep integration with others.
It includes never-before-published insights, new research findings, and exercises to help readers gain insight into their unique personality and nurture a deeper connection with their highest potential and humanity.
