In this podcast, we identify the 6 human needs as identified by Tony Robbins and their crucial role of your personal journey of growth and transformation.
The six human needs listed below were developed by Tony Robbins, building upon Abraham Maslow’s original ‘Hierarchy of Needs’ theory.
1. Certainty: assurance that you can avoid pain and gain pleasure.
2. Uncertainty/Variety: the need for the unknown, change, new stimuli.
3. Significance: feeling unique, important, special or needed.
4. Connection/Love: a strong feeling of closeness with someone or something.
5. Growth: an expansion of capacity, capability or understanding.
6. Contribution: a sense of service and focus on helping, giving to and supporting others.
Numbers 1-4 are defined as personality-based needs, which are vital for survival, and must always be met in one way or another. Needs 5 & 6, however, are needs of the spirit, and although they required to have a fulfilling life, they may not always necessarily be met depending on the challenges we face throughout our lives and the tools we have available to overcome them.
Each of us prioritises the list of individual needs differently, and our priority list may change throughout our lives depending on the circumstances we are faced with as we progress through our life’s journey.
As individuals, we also all have completely different ways of meeting our needs. Some of these ways are empowering, and others are destructive and have the effect of disempowering us, even though they serve to meet our needs.
