Thrivism is built on the foundational belief that “humans need to survive and desire to thrive.” Meeting this need and desire depends on meeting five conditions:

• Person and people need to survive and desire to thrive,
• Person depends on other persons (people) for survival and thriving,
• Need and desire apply to current and future world,
• Person’s and people’s future survival and thriving depends on there being a future world, and
• Future world must be sustained long term to meet human need and desire.
