Abraham Maslow, the psychologist who devised the hierarchy of human needs, was born on this date in 1908. 10 things he said:
- If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
- The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.
- What is necessary to change a person is to change his awareness of himself.
- If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.
- A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
- The story of the human race is the story of men and women selling themselves short.
- Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.
- We fear to know the fearsome and unsavoury aspects of ourselves, but we fear even more to know the godlike in ourselves.
- I was awfully curious to find out why I didn't go insane.
- We may define therapy as a search for value.
