      A bold reimagining of Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs--and new insights for living your most authentic, fulfilled, and connected life. When positive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman first discovered Maslow's unfinished theory of transcendence, sprinkled throughout a cache of unpublished journals, he felt a deep resonance with his own work and life. In this groundbreaking book, Kaufman picks up where Maslow left off, unraveling the mysteries of his unfinished theory, and integrating these ideas with the latest research on attachment, connection, exploration, love, purpose and other building blocks of a life well lived. Maslow's model provides a roadmap for finding purpose and fulfillment--not by striving for money, success, or "happiness," but by becoming the best version of ourselves, or what Maslow called self-actualization. Transcend reveals a level of human potential that's even higher, which Maslow termed "transcendence." Beyond individual fulfillment, this way of being--which taps into the whole person-- connects us not only to our best self, but also to one another. With never-before-published insights and new research findings, along with thought-provoking examples and personality tests, this empowering book is a manual for self-analysis and nurturing a deeper connection with our highest potential-- and beyond.

    • Lze nalézt smysl v něčem tak prchavém, jako je kreativita? Kniha Zrozeni tvořit, vycházející z převratného výzkumu psychologa Scotta Barryho Kaufmana a populárního článku Carolyn Gregoireové na portálu Huffi ngton Post, nabízí pohled do neuspořádaných myslí velmi kreativních lidí. Odhaluje nejnovější zjištění v oboru neurologie a psychologie a spojuje je s poutavými příklady umělců, myslitelů a vynálezců v průběhu století. Přibližuje tak životní praxi a užitečné návyky, které podporují tvůrčí způsob uvažování. Kaufman a Gregoireová rozplétají sérii paradoxů, jako jsou například vědomá pozornost a denní snění, vážnost a hra, otevřenost a citlivost či samota a spolupráce, a předvádějí, jak se díky přijetí vlastních protikladů můžeme napojit na nejhlubší zdroje své kreativity. Každá kapitola zkoumá jeden z deseti rysů a zvyků mimořádně tvůrčích osobností: Nápaditá hra, Vášeň, Denní snění, Samota, Intuice, Otevřenost vůči zkušenosti, Vědomá pozornost, Citlivost, Obrátit nesnáze ve svůj prospěch, Myslet jinak.
