A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. ~Abraham Maslow
In Maslow hierarchy, metaneeds is associated with impulses for self-actualization.
Maslow's list of Metaneeds:
Wholeness (unity)
Perfection (balance and harmony)
Completion (ending)
Justice (fairness)
Richness (complexity)
Simplicity ( essence)
Liveliness (spontaneity)
Beauty (rightness of form)
Goodness (benevolence)
Uniqueness (individuality)
Playfulness (ease)
Truth (reality)
Autonomy (self-sufficiency)
Meaningfulness (values).
Metapathology is thwarting of self-development related to failure to satisfy the metaneeds. Metapathology prevents self-actualizers from expressing, using and fulfilling their potential. Reasons people may not become self-actualized include: poor childhoods, lower economic conditions, inadequate education, anxieties and fears and the Jonah Complex.
