Self- Actualization
Maslow based his theory partially on his own assumptions
about human potential and partially on his case studies of
historical figures whom he believed to be self-actualized,
including Albert Einstein and Henry David Thoreau.
The main point of that new movement, that reached its peak
in 1960s, was to emphasize the positive potential of human
beings.
Maslow noticed that self-actualized individuals had a better
insight of reality, deeply accepted themselves, others and
the world, and also had faced many problems and were
known to be impulsive people..
