RISE: Module 2

In Module 2, we lay the scientific framework for the course. I explain the origins of self-actualisation research by Abraham Maslow, and how this has been updated and revised by Scott Barry Kaufman. Kaufman's sailboat metaphor provides the guiding principle in your quest to realise your potential. 

Module 2.1 Hierarchy of needs

Learn about the most significant researcher of self-actualisation to date: Abraham Maslow. I explain the human hierarchy of needs as well as the fun fact that Maslow never spoke of this pyramid model associated with him.
