About this listen
US psychologist Abraham Maslow’s A Theory of Human Motivation is a classic of psychological research that helped change the field for good. Like many field-changing thinkers, Maslow was not just a talented researcher, he was also a creative thinker - able to see things from a new perspective and show them in a different light. He studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people.
Maslow generated new ideas, forging what he called "positive" or "humanistic psychology". His argument was that humans are psychologically motivated by a series of hierarchical needs, starting with the most essential first. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans.

Narrator needs to chill
I felt this book assumed prior knowledge of the field - it is very dense and dives straight in which makes this suboptimal for a beginner to Maslow.
…and all this makes the narration more difficult to tolerate. It’s really hard to focus on what is actually being communicated with the pace of the narration. The absence of spaces, emphases and pauses is overwhelming. There is no connection with the words or their underlying meanings.

The chart on the cover says it all
There is not a lot more in the book than what is on the cover due to a lack of data/research. It was easy enough to listen to though.

Too Fast!
The narration was far too fast and monotone
This theory has a lot of useful elements for my line of work but most of it was lost as it was too fast
