One of the most fundamental questions that can be asked about human behavior is “why”? Why do we do what we do, in the exact time and way we do it? And why do we stop?!?
These are typically questions of need and motivation. We all have needs, but what exactly are those needs? Better yet, how should we even begin defining and understanding what a need is? And then, what is it that causes needs to initiate and drive our behaviors … or bring them to a temporary end?
Psychologists agree that answers to these questions are fundamental to understanding human behavior and learning. But they also agree that the answers are complicated. In fact, the answers are even more complicated when you realize that most psychologists never stop to consider the spiritual nature of anything, present topic included.
In this episode, I want to introduce you to the tale of two Abrahams, both of whom addressed this important topic of human needs and motivation. I believe this is one of the very best places to start if we want to tackle this important question for ourselves and those we lead and care for.
