En del svänger sig lite malligt med begreppet "Maslows behovstrappa", men hur många har egentligen läst originalet? Här är i alla fall andra upplagan av "Toward a psychology of being" (1968 - första upplagan kom 1962).
Här framgår det bl.a. att Maslow tog starka intryck från existentialisterna. Han refererade bl.a. till Heidegger, Jaspers och Sartre. "The most efficient way to perceive the intrinsic nature of the world is to be more receptive than active, determined as much as possible by the intrinsic organization of that which is perceived and as little as possible by the nature of the perceiver." (s. 41)
I denna bok behandlar Maslow begreppet "peak-experience" på flera sätt.
"The peak-experience is felt as a self-validating, self-justifying moment which carries its own intrinsic value with it." (s. 79)
"At the higher levels of human maturation, many dichotomies, polarities, and conflicts are fused, transcended or resolved. Self-actualizing people are simultaneously selfish and unselfish, Dionysian and Apollonian, individual and social, rational and irrational, fused with others and detached from others, and so on." (s. 91)
"The greater the health, the more acute and penetrating the perception of the world, all other things being equal." (s. 99)
"In the first place, the great work needs great talent (...) In the second place, the great work needs not only the flash, the inspiration, the peak-experience; it also needs hard work, long training, unrelenting criticism, perfectionistic standards." (s. 143)
Maslow fortsätter att beskriva personer som har haft "peak-experiences" och ger en uttömmande bild av hur sådana personer är och hur dessa upplevelser uppfattas. Mig veterligt har ingen efter honom lyckats bättre med uppgiften. Maslow lade ribban och ingen har kunnat höja den.
