In this post, I want to talk about the importance of our aesthetic needs and how cultivating them improves our psychology. Aesthetic needs are our human need for beauty, form and balance. Aesthetic needs: appreciate and seek beauty, balance, form, etc. The satisfaction of these needs leads to a deeper sense of satisfaction and harmony in life, as people seek environments and experiences that are pleasant and that reflect their sense of beauty.
A useful illustration of how aesthetics affect behavior is to compare people with both satisfied and unmet aesthetic needs.
