In Toward a Psychology of Being, Abraham H. Maslow presents a bold, transformative vision of human nature that stands in direct opposition to the deterministic frameworks of Freudian psychoanalysis and behaviorism. Rather than defining humanity through its pathologies, Maslow argues from the premise of human potential, introducing his landmark concept of self-actualization — the innate drive toward growth, creativity, and the fullest realization of one's capacities. Drawing on rich psychological insight and humanistic philosophy, this second edition refines and expands his groundbreaking theories on peak experiences, intrinsic motivation, and the hierarchy of needs that has since become one of the most cited frameworks in the social sciences.\n\nMaslow's prose is at once accessible and intellectually rigorous, making complex psychological theory feel urgently personal and deeply relevant. His humanistic approach challenged an entire generation of psychologists to reconsider what the discipline is fundamentally for — not merely to treat illness, but to understand and nurture the heights of human experience. Decades after its initial publication, Toward a Psychology of Being remains a cornerstone of humanistic psychology and a compelling call to examine not just what we are, but what we are capable of becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203363872987,"sku":"2026200013348-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/411f2411-4960-4382-8bed-492cb3d18ee7.png?v=1788147986","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013348-secondhand-toward-a-psychology-of-being-second-edition","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
