Today, Charles and Robert discuss a new wave of positive psychology and a re-imagining of Maslow's Hierarchy by Scott Barry Kaufman called https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/49625550 (Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization).
Kaufman updates Maslow's hierarchy with a more practical sailboat metaphor which you can learn more about https://scottbarrykaufman.com/sailboat-metaphor/ (on his website). Instead of a pyramid, which implies climbing towards the pinnacle, and anchoring to a specific level - we talk about a much more flexible model of a sailboat navigating the ocean with other people/boats around us.
We think this is a great metaphor for personal and professional lives and hope you get something out of it as well.
