Hierarchy of Needs: Maslow's hierarchy suggests that individuals must satisfy basic needs like food and safety before pursuing self-actualization.
Peak Experiences: These are intense moments when people feel fully alive, deeply connected to others or nature, and in tune with their own potential. They often occur during self-actualizing pursuits.
Self-transcendence: This concept goes beyond self-actualization by emphasizing connecting with something greater than oneself, such as spirituality or serving others. It involves transcending personal boundaries for a higher purpose.
