- innate tendency to want to achieve our full potentials
- self-growth
- deficiency needs followed by self-actualisation
- example of a self-actualiser: Ghandi
- found that self-actualisers reported moments in life as 'peak experiences' - periods of self-actualisation
- satisfaction at each deficiency level motivates us to move on to the next level (a deficiency)
Stages
- physiological needs (water, food, oxygen...)
- safety (shelter, hygeine...)
- belongingness and love (relationships, sex, parents...)
- self-esteem (believing in ourselves, competitiveness...)
- self-actualisation (reaching our full potential, satisfaction, achievement...)
