Hi Carrie and all,
I agree that this is a great book, and I completely agree about the
importance of the difference between Maslow's approach, i.e. talking about
people as potentially healthy rather than sick as Freud had done.
After seeing your post I did some checking and saw that this book is not
available anywhere in braille, either on Bookshare or Web-braille. So, I'll be
submitting it soon!
Best,
Donna

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] OT: what book changed your life?

Out of curiousity, what book changed your life? How did your life change
from reading it?
For me, the book was "Toward a Psychology of Being" by Abraham Maslow which I
read when I was in my late 20s. Freud looked at a lot of people, said everyone
is to some degree sick, and wrote defining characteristics of sick people.
Maslow looked a lot of people, said everyone is to some degree healthy, and
wrote defining characteristics of healthy people. And I thought, how
wonderful! I want to be a healthy person, now I have a roadmap. That book
spoke to me like no other ever has.
What about everyone else in Bookshare land? Carrie
