- I'm a New York State licensed psychologist, adjunct associate professor at Yeshiva University, and author of many books and articles including THE RIGHT TO BE HUMAN: A BIOGRAPHY OF ABRAHAM MASLOW (McGraw-Hill) and FUTURE VISIONS: THE UNPUBLISHED PAPERS OF ABRAHAM MASLOW (Sage). I recently developed and validated a test of employee engagement based on Maslow's work. It's available online at www.mindgarden.com if you click onto my name. My degrees are from Cornell University and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I have three sons, and live with my family in my hometown of New York. My hobbies include playing the flute, swimming, and travel. I'm looking forward to networking on this site!
