Abraham H. Maslow was one of the foremost spokespersons of humanistic psychology. In The Farthest Reaches of Human Nature, an extension of his classic Toward a Psychology of Being, Maslow explores the complexities of human nature by using both the empirical methods of science and the aesthetics of philosophical inquiry. With essays on biology, synergy, creativity, cognition, self-actualization, and the hierarchy of needs, this posthumous work is a wide-ranging synthesis of Maslow's inspiring and influential ideas.

MASLOW is essential for Organizational Development

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2023

I can always count on amazon.com to offer exactly what I need as soon as possible.

Maslow is terribly important to me...I dealt with Z-theory organizations three decades ago. I had a Z theory organization (with robotics ) at that time. My brother, president of a consulting firm, was trying to get Z theory organization at several US companies plus one in Germany and one in Italy.

This is so important to Maslow's higher forms of being. Without Maslow, I was lost.

By the way, his wife mentioned three more levels of Maslow...in an article after he died. Amazing! It just has not been released to date.

Spiritual and Existential Needs ARE the Basic Needs

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

You might have heard of "Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs" beginning with food, shelter etc. In that pyramid of needs, you couldn't strive for spirituality, for example, until your shelter needs were met.

This book is different. It is a collection of later essays mostly about spiritual needs. In these essays, the pyramid is flipped-- as if the spiritual needs are the base of the pyramid rather than food and shelter.

Maslow comments on things other psychologists in the sixties were commenting on: existentialism, creativity..

Existentialism here is defined as the study of human need for meaning. Where some use the term existentialism to mean the position that humans need meaning and there is no inherent meaning (authors like Camus, Kafka and Douglas Adams), Maslow agrees with Viktor Frankl in saying that life does have inherent meaning and Existentialism is the study of what that meaning is and how to get it. Hence the title, "The Farther Reaches of Human Nature." Human Nature is not fallen, doomed, or inherently separate from meaning, but human nature is capable, naturally drawn and inherently connected.

By the way this book is not available for kindle. Why not? Please click the button if you'd like to see this as a kindle book. It certainly deserves to be read by a new generation of readers, at a time when inherent meaning is again questioned.

Some of the best Maslow writings contained herein

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is a collection of previously published articles and other material. I had read parts of The Farther Reaches of Human Nature back in the mid-1980s, along with his Religions, Values, and Peak Experiences, which I really enjoyed back then. Despite my being a grad student in economics, I thought Maslow had something to tell us, and I believe he still does today. I've recently returned to Father Reaches (and I just bought a copy for my son) and at this point I feel it contains Maslow's best statements on self-actualization, creativity, transcendence, and metamotivation.

The Farther Reaches of Human Nature

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

Abraham Maslow's understanding of human values, such as Truth, Goodness, Beauty and Justice rises above all writers I have read. This book is extremely brave and forthright, as it contains Maslow's most insightful notes and they were published by his wife, Bertha, after his death! This is a master work and challenging to the psychological and philosophical and scientific professions. Maslow shows how the human values of being are also FACTS! His work can be scientifically replicated and verified according to the most rigorous scientific methods of the 19th century. Maslow said that education without values is highly destructive and dangerous. So, what are they teaching at Harvard that caused the global financial meltdown which has thrown millions of people out of work? Maslow's work is a classic--a must read--by anyone who cares, loves and wants to advance the forward days of humankind.

A worthy addition to any psychological library

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2004

Verified Purchase

Overall this is a very good book, but with some significant flaws. The first 100 pages are unbelievably good; as I began reading this book I really felt like I had hit the jackpot, and I quickly concluded I would attempt to read all of Maslow's works. As I got further into the book I was singing quite a different tune. I believe anyone with any interest in psychology whatsoever should buy this book and read the first 100 pages. This section alone is easily worth the price of the book - don't let me scare you away from exploring the ideas of this great man. However, the dropoff in quality after this first section is rather precipitous, and while pages 100-200 were OK, the final 100 pages are an absolute chore to get through and I had to force myself along to finish the book.
Keep in mind that Abraham Maslow died before he was able to make a final edit of this book, and it shows. The second half of the book is almost a verbatim repetition of the earlier sections, and Maslow tends to harp on the same concepts endlessly. Some of it comes across as a very generic self help book designed to be consumed by the masses. In other sections, he seems to start over right from square one, as if some of the essays were meant to stand alone and were not meant to follow other essays that were extremely similar. I would say nearly half of this book should have been relegated to an expanded appendix - but I guess it would be strange to have a book where full half of it consisted of an appendix. I'm sure that Maslow would have fixed these problems had he lived long enough, but we will just have to accept this book for what it is and try as best we can to extrapolate something useful from it.
To conclude, I must still vehemently stress the importance of at least the first half of this book. If you grow bored with it, just stop reading. The editors of this book obviously elected to take a throw-it-all-against-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks approach, and I suppose there is no harm in that. Just remember that the original author was not around to oversee the final editing, and the result is a large dose of disjecta and detritus towards the end of the book. Nevertheless, do not let this minor disclaimer prevent you from exploring the wonderful ideas of this brilliant man.

Simplesmente, um clássico do pensamento de Maslow, atualizado até 1971 - super recomendo!

Este livro é um clássico do pensamento de Abraham Harold Maslow, atualizado até 1971, e complementa a obra Toward a Psychology of Being. Ele inclui, entre outras preciosidades, um "topo adicional" para a sua tradicional e consagrada "Pirâmide da Hierarquia das Necessidades" - na parte VII, sobre "Transcendence and the Psychology of Being". Aos interessados pelo assunto, é leitura prazerosa e indispensável para uma melhor compreensão das complexidades da natureza humana. Super recomendo!
