the self-actualizing person has reached a high level of moral development and is more concerned about the welfare of friends, loved ones, and humanity than self.
the self-actualizing person is usually committed to some cause or task, rather then working for fame or money.
life is experienced in intense, vivid, absorbing ways, often with a sense of unity with nature.
self-actualizing people are open and honest and have the courage to act on their convictions even if it means being unpopular.
self-actualizing individuals are not particularly interested in fads, fashion, and social customers, and often appear unorthodox.
self-actualizing individuals enjoy friends but are not dependent on their company or approval; they enjoy privacy and independence. on the other hand, their feelings for their close friends are intensely positive and caring.
life is always challenging and fresh to the self-actualizing person.
they have an accurate, rather than a romanticized, view of people and life, yet they are positive about life
self-actualizing individuals are spontaneous and natural in their actions and feelings.</font>
