Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Explained
Maslow's hierarchy of needs aims to explain why do we do the things we do. Why do people work at a job they don't like? Why do people eat pizza? Why do you help others? In 1943 Abraham Maslow proposed a theory of motivation explaining human behavior in a paper called “A Theory of Human Motivation”. He described what is essential for human development in a pyramid like pattern. He then fully expressed his ideas in a book called " Motivation and Personality" in 1954.
New scientific theory recognizes life’s spiritual dimension.

The reality of the soul is among the most important questions of life. Although religions go on and on about its existence, how do we know if souls really exist? A string of new scientific experiments helps answer this ancient spiritual question.
Concepts like the spirit and soul, as well as the human body meridians (energy lines) and chakras (energy centers), are not new, going back thousands of years, especially in Asia and other parts of the eastern world. Also, long-established global native cultures, including the Aborigines in Australia and Native Americans, have strong spiritual foundations.
How does the brain retrieve memories, articulate words, and focus attention? Recent advances have provided a newfound ability to decipher, sharpen, and adjust electrical signals relevant to speech, attention, memory and emotion. Join Brian Greene and leading neuroscientists György Buzsáki, Edward Chang, Michael Halassa, Michael Kahana and Helen Mayberg for a thrilling exploration of how we're learning to read and manipulate the mind.
Admittedly, "direct" evidence one way or the other is hard to come by -- all we have are a few legends and sketchy claims from unreliable witnesses with near-death experiences, plus a bucketload of wishful thinking. But surely it's okay to take account of indirect evidence -- namely, compatibility of the idea that some form of our individual soul survives death with other things we know about how the world works.
Claims that some form of consciousness persists after our bodies die and decay into their constituent atoms face one huge, insuperable obstacle: the laws of physics underlying everyday life are completely understood, and there's no way within those laws to allow for the information stored in our brains to persist after we die. If you claim that some form of soul persists beyond death, what particles is that soul made of? What forces are holding it together? How does it interact with ordinary matter?
Straddling the gap between science and religion, Brian Greene is joined by renowned neuroscientists, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists, to explore one of the most profound mysteries of our existence
