Self actualization resides at the top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs...
Maslow doesn’t think that self-actualizers are perfect. There were several flaws like
- They often suffered anxiety and guilt
- With absentminded and overly kind
- And unexpected moments of ruthlessness, surgical coldness, and loss of humour.
Two other points he makes about these self-actualizers:
- Their values were "natural" and seemed to flow effortlessly from their personalities.
- They appeared to transcend many of the dichotomies others accept as being undeniable, such as the differences between the spiritual and the physical, the selfish and the unselfish, and the masculine and the feminine.
