Six Human Needs That Drive Everything You Do

May 15, 2025 | Episode 5094

Host: Scott Smith

Episode Description

Have you ever wondered what truly drives your happiness and fulfillment? In this eye-opening episode, Scott returns to the fundamentals with Tony Robbins' robust Six Human Needs framework.

If you're feeling uncertain about your direction or lacking confidence, this episode reveals the psychological drivers that might be missing in your life. Scott breaks down these core needs with his trademark upbeat style and practical wisdom.

Featured Story

Scott shares how a recent Fisher Passion coaching call sparked this deep dive into what makes us tick. With his characteristic honesty, he admits he's "ripping off" Tony Robbins' work (while giving full credit!) to help you understand what might be missing in your life. Whether you're seeking certainty or craving variety, Scott explains how balancing these six fundamental needs can transform your daily experience.

Key Takeaways

Understanding your need for certainty versus variety explains why you make your choices and how to find balance between stability and excitement.

Significance, connection, and love aren't just nice-to-haves—they're essential human needs that determine your happiness and fulfillment.

Growth and contribution become increasingly important as you progress through life, especially when building your legacy and finding more profound meaning.

Memorable Quotes

"If you don't know what you're doing, if you don't know the path, if you're still kind of confused, it's really hard to feel confident."

"If you don't have a connection with people, like-minded people, people that care about you and you care about them, if there is no love, you are not going to feel like a complete person."

"If you're not growing, you're not feeling like your true self. If you're not rising to your potential."

Scott's Three-Step Approach

Identify which of the six human needs (certainty, variety, significance, connection/love, growth, contribution) are most important to you right now.

Create daily practices that fulfill your top needs while making sure you don't neglect the others.

Review your life regularly to see if your needs have shifted and adjust your activities accordingly to maintain balance and happiness.
