Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization

Scott Barry Kaufman picks up where Maslow's unfinished notebooks left off, and it shows — Adam Grant, Aaron Beck, and Sharon Salzberg all backed it, and the grounding in both classic and contemporary psychology is genuinely rigorous. It leans academic, so casual listeners might find it dense in places. Kaufman narrates his own work, and given his research background you can expect a measured, lecture-style read rather than a punchy self-help voice — a smart, well-earned rethink of a framework everyone thinks they already know.

🎙 Narration: unknown Self-narrated by the author, a research psychologist; expected to be measured and lecture-style, but no independent performance review was located.
