  10. Self-actualization According to Maslow, only a small percentage of the world’s population is truly, predominantly, self-actualizing.  Can you think of people who fit into the self-actualization category? 1.01-Children's Needs

  11. Self-actualization Knowledge and appreciation of beauty, goodness, freedom and a realistic view and acceptance of self and others Reality-centered, differentiate what is fake and dishonest from what is real and genuine. Problem-centered, treating life’s difficulties as problems demanding solutions, not as personal troubles to be railed at or surrendered to.  Different perception of means and ends, that the ends don’t necessarily justify the means, that the means could be ends themselves, and that the means -- the journey -- is often more important than the ends. 1.01-Children's Needs
