[Ailist] Re: Maslow

[Howard Ditkoff]

>>Another thought I often share with those who become overwhelmed with
the opinion of others to the point where they are not confident about
their decisions to move forward is Abraham Maslow's description of
self-actualizers. To be self-actualized, he said, one must be willing
to divorce herself from the good opinion of others.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the divorce of oneself from the 
opinion of others is an outgrowth of the process of self-actualizing? It 
isn't that a non-actualized person who decides to stop listening to others 
will then make steps toward self-actualization.
