In our pursuit of a meaningful and fulfilling life, existential analysis provides a framework that highlights four fundamental motivations essential for human existence. These motivations address our core needs and guide us in navigating the complexities of life. In this short course Sandy will guide you through Fundamental Motivation 3.
The Motivation for Self (Identity)
- This fundamental motivation addresses the need to relate authentically to oneself and others. It involves developing a strong sense of self-worth and self-awareness. Our model below shows this as: Value-based Decisions, choosing the most valuable thing to do. By recognizing and valuing our own identity, we can build genuine relationships and live in alignment with our true selves.
These four fundamental motivations are essential for achieving eudaimonia, a state of living in accordance with one’s true self. They provide a comprehensive understanding of the essential needs that must be met for a fulfilling and authentic life.
