Human needs underlie human motivation, which in turn determines human behavior. Complex interpersonal relationships are often based on people’s misunderstanding of their own needs as well as those of others.
Why do we do the things we do? Why is it that we measure success and value by attention and status, yet frown upon complacency? What force drives and shapes all of our emotions, actions, quality of life?
Did you know that the answers to these questions can all be explained by learning about the human needs?
All dysfunctional behaviors arise from the inability to consistently meet these truly important needs. But they aren’t just behind the bad decisions we make – they are also behind all of the great things humans accomplish. Understanding our own needs and psychology can not only help us avoid toxic behaviors and habits but can also help us achieve our goals.
