SELF ACTUALIZATION :
As per the Maslow’s idea of hierarchy for human-beings, the self-actualization comes from the persons' self-esteem. In simple term, self-actualization represents self-realization or self-reflection or self-exploration. This entry describes the concept of self-actualization, how one measures it, how self-actualization develops across the life span, and how the concept of self-actualization has shaped the fields of humanistic and positive psychology.

The topic is very interesting. Maslow's theory is also very valid today. I think, however, that she should always be seen in her social context. The danger of self-realization without a social context can lead to selfishness and narcissism. It is only well-conceived that the humanism of the individual in relation to his positive presence in the social context is a deepened look at self-realizations. I think that Maslow's ideas are worth combining with the concept of Carl Rogers, who in a sense refined it.
I agree with Mr. Formella and I think Maslow's Theory should be reinforced with the principles of Positive Psychology in order widen its approach.
