Self-Actualization Needs
the pursuit of knowledge, beauty, or whatever else is required for the realization of one’s unique potential
Q:Do we have to fulfill our needs
in the order prescribed by Maslow? Does everyone attain
self-actualization? Does everyone try to seek it? Do we
ever skip needs in the pursuit of something grander?
