What is self-actualisation?

Solution

• Self-actualisation is defined as an innate or inborn force that moves the person to become more complex, balanced and integrated, i.e., achieving the complexity and balance without being fragmented.

• 'Integrated' means a sense of whole, being a complete person, being the same person inspite of the variety of experiences that one is subjected to.

• In short 'self-actualisation' refers to individual's innate tendency to make best use of his potential, for one's own growth and well-being.

• The concept of self-actualisation was given by Abraham Maslow.
