According to Dr. Glasser, all behavior
is purposeful. It is our best attempt at the time, given
our current knowledge and skills, to meet one or more of
our basic human needs, needs which evolved over time and
have become part of our genetic structure. These needs are
the general motivation for everything we do.
Characteristics of the Five Basic
Needs:
1. Universal
2. Innate
3. Overlapping
4. Satisfied from moment to moment
5. Conflict w/ Others' Needs
