Why do reaching goals provide satisfaction??
Hoping that this is an interesting question...
Why does having a "goal" and a plan for your life provide satisfaction?
Using the "hierarchy of needs" of Maslow, I'm thinking that following that goal is the same as reaching the level of "self-actualization", but can anybody assure the reasons for needing to self-actualize oneself? How did this guy came upon that concept... how can one prove that all humans would follow that path of self-actualization, be it the case, that world hunger and emotional disorders were gone?
As far as my research went (very poor research) it said that Maslow (and all humanists) believe that "Humans seek the frontiers of creativity, the highest reaches of consciousness and wisdom" (go to http://www.hcc.hawaii.edu/intranet/committees/FacDevCom/guidebk/teachtip/maslow.htm) and the evidence would be that his "theory accurately describes many realities of personal experiences".
OK, your turn, what do u think? could somebody be able to refute his theory of the human striving for success? Or why would u think it is true?
...and hoping there are simpler answers to such a redundance of terms. Thanks
