Quote of the day - Abraham Maslow

Maslow is best known for Maslow's hierarchy of needs but he wandered over a very wide field indeed. When trying to analyze the actions of our masterminds in Washington, this quote comes to mind:
The study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy. The study of self-actualizing people must be the basis for a more universal science of psychology.
--Motivation and Personality (1954), p. 234
Lots more at the WikiQuote site. A nice biography at his Wikipedia site. Posted by DaveH at September 7, 2013 4:39 PM
