Arrested Development

This is a theme/concept that I have been stewing on…

I think it was prompted by a talk I was preparing in which I referenced Maslow’s ‘Hierarchy of Need’ (Abraham Maslow)*Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

This theory of motivation, provides a mechanism for looking at human self/personal development and basically suggests that there are certain needs that all humans have, and that the higher ones are only met once the lower ones are.

I think my mind was particularly interested by the 4th level ‘Esteem Needs’, and what it might mean if those needs were unmet. Would this lead to your personal development being stunted, put on hold, arrested?

As I began by saying, I’m stewing on: Arrested Development…

*First published in 1943, and one of the most popular and often cited theories of human motivation.

    Hi Brittney,

    Thanks for the comment, and encouragement! As it happens, I was working on a new post a couple days back, as I realised how long it had been since I updated it. Out of interest, how did come across the site?
