Finally, how one is perceived by others is the basis for how they reinvent themselves. Metaperceptions, how one feels about how others perceive them, can be a call to action. Abraham Maslow’s 1954 research project on human motivation breaks down the most simple human desires. On this hierarchy, “belongingness and love” is third, meaning this is an absolutely essential part of human existence. This fear, instilled deep into the human mind, is the basis of reinvention. For example, in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Gatsby is born into a poor, farming family, but at age seventeen he leaves home in order to reinvent himself. Through an unspecified source, Gatsby acquires great wealth and begins to live the lavish lifestyle of the twenties.
