Maslow’s hierarchy is wrong, says Gupta
via ted.com
There could be nothing more wrong than the Maslowian…hierarchy of needs. Because the poorest people in this country can get enlightenment…All the great saints…they were all poor people; and they had a great vision!
Please do not ever think that only after meeting your physiological needs and other needs can you be thinking about your spritual needs or your enlightenment.
Any person anywhere is capable of rising to that highest point of attainment only by the resolve that they have in their mind, that they must achieve something.”—Anil Gupta
Anil founded the Honey Bee Network to percolate innovation from the bottom of the pyramid up, with proper credit to the poor originators.

This is so true! Maslov’s theory is upper middle class western…….

I argue that Maslow is not wrong. You must satiate the needs, in order, to at least a certain extent before you can procede up the scale. That is to say you must have at least a certain amount of sleep or you will pass out while attempting anything else.
