The Needs-Based Operating System: The Human OS Episode 003

With a new broadcast title and fresh outlook on why needs-based pens matter to a needs-based human, this episode looks back at several published articles that highlighted discrepancies between the then-current psychological methods and assumptions, and the near-digression over 50 years. Re-programming our operating system is a matter first of awareness. Which is why this episode seeks to challenge modern psychology with a diagnosis of it’s own: that the deficit-based labels are the culprits of internal dis-ease. A needs-based lens is, conversely, definitive, reliable, truthful, and healthy for a functional human operating system to effectively navigate life’s situations.

Additional Insights: The Human OS podcast introduces a needs-based approach to emotional intelligence, challenging traditional psychology's reliance on labels due to distinguishing characteristics of those labels against normal characteristics. Understanding temperament is crucial as it forms the foundation of our emotional genetic makeup and the filter through which we view situations and ourselves. Modern psychology often overlooks temperament, leading to misdiagnoses and a lack of true understanding of human behavior at its individual and intrinsically human roots. Awareness is the first step of upgrading your mental/emotional operating system to a more functional health.
