The Untold Science of Self-Actualization

The Hierarchy of Needs is Abraham Maslow´s Most Famous Theory on Self-Actualization. This pyramid shaped theory explains how human beings can fulfill their full potential and ultimately self-actualize.
Abraham Maslow dedicated is life to understand the characteristics of self-actualization, to understand clear action steps to self-actualization and Maslow even discovered an additional stage that people can evolve into after they self-actualized.

I had a peak experience once just observing a worker ant trying to drag a piece of tree bark. There was something about its struggle, and watching it maneuver through the dirt around small twigs and rocks, hauling this piece of tree bark. It was so important to this ant. Watching this little creature strive to achieve this goal of carrying a piece of tree bark, and problem-solving each difficult moment that it encountered, I felt so connected to the ant. I cried for its struggle, I cheered its slight victories in the dirt. It was a beautiful moment, and it did indeed catch me by total surprise 💛

Beautiful, thank you for sharing

I love watching ants too!

[@DerrickWindsor]

What a lovely comment!

[@francisdebriey3609]

This is very well explained, and I share 100% your interpretation of self transcendence in alignment with buddhist enlightenment. When you've experienced "all," you realize that the "you" is your limit, that there's more than "that", actually, the "Me & My" is your self created illusion called Ego. You come naturally to transcend your ego, your believed "self".

I gave you a thumbs up! Your presentation is excellent, (though I would cut out some of the repetitions!) In the 1990s I was in Top level management, I was guided very much by Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" in my management style and it led to a very engaged team, a hugely successful team that was harmonious and generous, both internally as well as with other departments! I truly wish you EVERY bit of LUCK in spreading the message as I think modern concepts are slowly winning the battle to silence this philosophy !!

This is very interesting... I feel, at times, that I am disinterested in my colleagues ideas,mostly because I feel like I’m being taken advantage of. If I didn’t communicate well enough , and critical of feeling selfish if I wasn’t fair. I am considerate, but feel like that’s an exceptionally scarce thing..

[@hoyjily]

This documentary is very useful for me. A ton of thanks.❤❤🙏🙏 It's my higher purpose to clarify it in general. (I am a buddhist but I want to study this area in concept of the western world as well.)

[@gloomnglow7195]

Thank you for this wonderful work. It opened my eyes towards better understanding the hirarchy of needs and the trancencdence stage. I learned that transendence relates to almost every decision we make to shape our lives regardless of how small it may be, and that such spiritual attainment is subconsiously expernienced rather than acheived. The only thing we can do to get there is strech ourselves beyond the comfort zone.

Awesome video. It would seem something was missing from the definition of "self-actualized"; otherwise, it comes across merely as an arbitrary list of qualities Maslow likes.

Simple yet comprehensive documentary! I like your minimalistic and straight forward approach. The concept of transcendence is very fascinating. But I think it will be a rather long journey for one to fully master this level. However, definitely worth going down this road!

You are correct! It's a long, lonely journey that is worth the hardship. When I die I will have no regrets.

[@galacticambitions1277]

This linking between healthy social power structures and personal positive psychology is very profound. It shows how psychology and politics cannot really be separated.

[@MarcoSanderCoaching]

100% of politicians are humans and 100% of voters are humans. If you don't understand psychology, you don't understand politics.

don't mind the views for now, this video contains pieces of information so good that is impossibile not to share it

[@bellakrinkle9381]

After becoming an Authentic person the next goal to achieve is Consciousness. I agree that that becoming self actualized is largely ignored. It's probably something that should be taught in secondary or high schools I first learned about self actualization in 1973 in my first psychology college class. Becoming self-actualization immediately became my first personal goal. Since then I, after many years, became fully conscious. I believe young people ought to look inside of themselves to understand their emotions and feelings, then figure out what interests themselves other than becoming millionaires!

[@chrislane8466]

In introducing Maslow's model in an intro to psychology class in college, the professor warned us that even economics professors can quote Maslow for their own purposes 😀. Didn't realize how funny and true that was at the time.

[@maximilyen]

Very nice

[@Stevegeorgo]

very very nice

[@Noychooz]

I wanted to say that Maslow was ahead of his time but actually I think that he was more of a pioneer , an imformer of times to come. Like Aristatoe to the greek philosophy. Well, I can't really compare anyone to the great Aristatoe but even suggesting that Maslow has a similar role in the human evolution - is a huge compliment to Maslow. I Actually think that Maslow is well referenced both in culture and Academy. I first encountered his work in Highschool during Psychology/Sociology studies and at least 3-4 times later during my B.A in philosophy and Hebrew literature. Not many psychologists were referenced that much. Maybe only Frued.

Hello! Thanks a bunch of this video. Although I’ve heard of Maslow, I’ve just begun my studies of self-actualization. May I ask, what books, two would be great, you would recommend to someone like myself who is just learning? Thank you in advance!

Can u reach self actualization while still being mentally ill? Or do you have to be in "remission": a phase without symptoms

[@MarcoSanderCoaching]

Generally, being "self-actualized" is about being a psychologically healthy human being. That's why I would generally reject the idea of being a "self-actualized mentally ill human" since those are generally opposites. Though, sometimes saneness and insaneness can be closer together than we think.

[@mosaicowlstudios]

...or what the Stoics call Sage-dom or the quality of being a Sage

[@freedomfreedom6544]

Excellent content. But no such thing as financial equality if freedom exists.

[@Rybot9000]

This is a great video, but I disagree with Maslow. I don't think that lower rungs of the hierarchy are actually needed for self-actualization. If we are comparing it with Buddhism then it should be mentioned that the essential teaching of Buddhism is anatta or no-self. Gautama called the 8 Fold Path the "middle way" between hedonism and asceticism to distinguish from this approach and that of groups like Opus Dei who self-flagellate to condition themselves. Ultimately the "enlightened" or "self-transcended" individual needs to realize the truth about their own dependence on positive self-esteem and by so-doing the illusion dissolves. This state of self-transcendence is not unique to Buddhism or Maslow either there are myriad different paths and methods expressed through a variety of traditions. A common idea of the self-transcended is that despair is an opportunity for self-reflection and that we often learn the most about ourselves during moments of despair precisely because we are not soaring on the basic pursuit of self-esteem. St. John of the Cross famously depicted his transcendence as a "Dark Night of the Soul". I personally experienced extreme social ostracization as a child following a traumatic car accident that left me disfigured and socially undesirable. I struggled with it and this struggle brought about further ostracization and eventual removal from society. I was placed into a padded room and threatened with a straight jacket and at that time I already began to realize that I was lashing out because I wanted to be accepted for who I was and three doctors in white lab coats holding a syringe and a restraining device were the final blow to that need. It was in that moment that I had a major awakening and realized the nature of the human psyche and ever since my motivations have been intrinsic. I rarely do anything for self-esteem or recognition and my primary goals are to raise other people's awareness and contribute to my community through my business. Most people do not see any value in my perspectives and that's to be expected, I enjoy the most mundane aspects of life, things far less stimulating than a sunset or spring. Everything has infinite complexity and simplicity. As Gautama said "Whenever you see beauty, you bring ugliness into the world." I see beyond the duality of such things. And to drive that point, the Buddha also said "He, who, like the moon, is spotless and pure, serene and clear, who has destroyed the delight in existence, him do I call a holy man" (Dhammapada; Sutta 413). Maslow's approach is not underappreciated, its mainstream. Its part of the Positive Self-Esteem movement that has brought us into the modern era. Its why we are culturally focused on self-esteem, personal identity and interpreting these as "basic needs". Perhaps not everyone should experience what I have but society has been going in the direction of the positive self-esteem movement for 60 years and the results are so-so. It seems, the more DEI and the like are pushed in the mainstream the more people think in terms of identity-based self-appraisals. There is significant research to suggest that this is the wrong approach and that an alternate message of "hypoegoic self-regulation" is preferable, that is a reduction on self-focused thoughts and more task-oriented thinking (e.g. Leary, Tangney, Hoyle, Trivers, etc..). For reference: The Handbook of Self and Identity, The Handbook of Personality and Self-Regulation, The Logic of Deception and Self-Deceit, and The Narcissism Epidemic all explore this in some detail. But again, great video and I appreciated the review of Maslow's theory.

Self transcendence would be better

[@user-vv5do6st8y]

Your domicile must be paid for in order to be self actualized. Guess i have asked 20 psyche professional s that question they never anwser.

[@MarcoSanderCoaching]

Don´t fully understand your comment. Are you trying to say that one needs a safe house that is fully owned financially in order to be able to self-actualize? In that case, I would disagree. Yes safety is very important foundation. Make sure you feel safe financially, it will help you to self-actualize. Though, Abraham Maslow also talked about outliers. He said that he has even talked to homeless people that show self-actualized tendencies.

[@user-vv5do6st8y]

@@MarcoSanderCoaching thank you for your reply. at least you went after it. However you go and speak to anyone facing forcloser or anyone with a tax lien . My guess is they will not be far from SA. Home less people have to find the right amount of complacency or indifference that would lend to SA. Actualization with the realization of a bad spot Maslow never slept on the street or his prynid would include interest tax and amortization . Who else gonna tell these kids..

Ok now That I am watching, I have to say - this is your best work yet, Marco. 👏 👏 👏 Although there are generalizations, this is thorough without getting dull. I know that nowadays you have to reduce things to the very essence to make complicated ideas more aacebile. The danger in that is talking in titles and big words without actually saying anything. So, this was not the case here. I really appreciate your hard work. Thanks!
