Self-fulfillment Needs

Finally—a capstone，as it were，on the hierarchy of man's needs—there are what we may call the needs for self-fulfillment.These are the needs for realizing one's own potentialities，for continued self-development，for being creative in the broadest sense of that term.(https://www.daowen.com)

It is clear that the conditions of modern life give only limited opportunity for these relatively weak needs to obtain expression.The deprivation most people experience with respect to other lower-level needs diverts their energies into the struggle to satisfy those needs，and the needs for self-fulfillment remain dormant.
