Paul discusses the many schools of thought on human needs and takes inspiration from Anthony Robbins's ‘Six Human Needs’ model. Paul explains the powerful nature of the Six Human Needs and how they impact on our lives, by sharing his own journey from Pain to Philanthropy and how each need has played a significant role in his life -  both positively and negatively.

In a world of emotional instability, Paul felt vulnerable and insecure and as a result, turned to the dominant factor in his life - the demon drink. Hear how he had created an aler-ego and created a black or white all-or-nothing mindset.

Quote: “It’s easy to see how the booze at the time met all of my human needs both directly and indirectly. This created a very addictive pattern of behavior. Significance, growth, and contribution, however, were all met through sobriety.

Finally, Paul rounds out the episode with a quick exercise to help you identify your own human needs.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Anthony Robbins - Six Human Needs

We all have four primitive needs that need to be met, before having two higher or spiritual needs we can work towards.

1. Certainty
2. Uncertainty (Variety)
3. Significance
4. Love & Connection
5. Growth
6. Contribution

Remember these three things:

1. Human needs are not maybes, wants, likes or loves, these are must-haves in our lives and we will do anything to ensure our needs are met.
2. Having looked at values and rules in a previous podcast, it’s evident that we will violate our values in order to ensure our human needs are met.
3. Most of us have two top needs that act as our key drivers, these create a variety of people.

BEST MOMENTS

“If three of our needs are met with a rating of six or above (10 meaning completely) - we would become addicted to that behavior”

“The third human need of significance, the human need to feel special I attempted to gain significance through charitable endeavours on a large scale”

“The highest human need of contribution is about giving to people other than ourselves”

ABOUT THE HOST

Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote:

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
