My feeling is that the concept of creativeness and the concept of the healthy, self actualizing, fully human person seem to be coming closer and closer together, and may perhaps turn out to be the same thing
Abraham Maslow
Image
We must remember that knowledge of one’s own deep nature is also simultaneously knowledge of human nature in general.
Abraham Maslow
Image
I think of the self-actualizing man not as an ordinary man with something added, but rather as the ordinary man with nothing taken away. The average man is a full human being with dampened and inhibited powers and capabilities.
