Self-Actualisation With Scott Barry Kaufman

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.

This week Niall is joined by cognitive scientist and humanistic psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman. Scott hosts The Psychology Podcast and is passionate about our innate potential as humans. 

Scott’s latest book ‘Transcend’ is a reimagining of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and a new insight into living your most creative, fulfilled, and connected life. Niall and Scott share the same beliefs about human potential and discuss how there are many forms of intelligence that may not score well on your average IQ test. Scott also explains what it means to self-actualise, the impact the modern world and social media have on our potential and how purpose, fulfilment and connection are the drivers of our human experience.
