When the conversation turns to ephemeral topics like self-actualization, rational eyes tend to roll. But transcendence isn’t something reserved for the spiritually inclined. In fact, new science has emerged, revealing fascinating, evidence-based insights for realizing your full potential and living your most creative, fulfilled, and connected life.
Today we journey this terrain under the sagacious gaze of Scott Barry Kaufman, a pioneer in the field of human potential psychology.
A cognitive scientist and humanistic psychologist, Scott has taught at Columbia University, Yale, NYU, the University of Pennsylvania, and elsewhere. He received his Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Yale, an MPhil in experimental psychology from the University of Cambridge, and a B.S. in psychology and human-computer interaction from Carnegie Mellon.
