Great Room Auditorium, RSA House

How can more people lead more fulfilling lives, more of the time? 

Is it time to move beyond Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and towards a new paradigm?  What do humans really need and want to live successful, satisfying lives?

With an abundance of data, evidence, stories and illustrations, Dr Clotaire Rapaille and Dr Andres Roemer visit the RSA to explore the cultural and biological factors that determine people’s ability to ascend socially, economically and intellectually.
