ABSTRACT
The goal of Chapter 5 is to inspire students to think about how needs can be sustainably met. It begins with an explanation of what needs are following Abraham Maslow, Manfred Max-Neef and Ken Wilber. It covers issues of the rich-poor gap, misery, sustainable development and sustainably meeting needs. The chapter concludes with theories for meeting one’s own needs and the role individual happiness skills and external circumstances play in meeting one’s needs.
