ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the lists of totally legitimate needs. These are the kinds of things that people all need-every person on the planet-and, for many of these, they even have a right to expect, or claim, them. From the moment people are born, they have the physical need for clean air, pure water, and wholesome food. Everyone on the planet needs this to survive and remain healthy. People need outlets for their emotionally expressive and creative feelings, and, later on, for their sexual or intimate feelings. They need to be treated kindly, fairly, and honestly, so that they can learn what these qualities really are. A good place to learn how, where, and in what way to get one's needs fulfilled properly, and to practise exploring this area at first, is probably in a course of counselling or psychotherapy. "Life coaching" is a new area of work that might be able to help a little as well.
