Thank you.
Academy of Ideas where do you get the amazing artwork you show on your videos?
Great video btw
Why was his book 12 steps to self actualization deleted?
Hi there. A question about the lovely art you use. Are you aware that there are virtually no women shown? Is this a conscious choice?
@@berniebarclay2183 would you please point out a single great work of fine art by a woman, BB?
I don’t ever comment on things but I must for this. I have struggled with intense depression; even diagnosed with “treatment resistant” depression. I have been on so many medications and have been going to counseling for years. I recently shucked it all. I knew deep down my depression was not from some mysterious chemical imbalance but a deep hatred for myself that came from the potential I know I have that I feel I have wasted away. I quit meds, I quit counseling, I am chasing myself. I am judged by my own courts now. I am now on the hard road of real self actualization. Now my depression seems, though still there, somehow separate; weakening. I quit relying on a counselor to fix me, praying for God to make it easier, or waiting on medicine to cure me. While all those things are good I am sure now that I am my own cure. AOL has been helping me along toward this new flashpoint. Thank you for the videos. It indeed is never too late.
Nice one Caleb, really glad you shared your journey with us. Please remember not to judge yourself too harshly. Learn to love yourself even when you don't meet your own standards.
Check your b vitamin levels or heavy metal toxicity too. Nutrition has a lot to do w it I learned
Good for you CC! For whatever it's worth, it seems to me that humanism in general is an effort, compassion, to help oneself become more aware & thus more peaceful & integrated.
Candy Cane holy cow, that was inspiring!
try exercise too. even a 10 min run in the morning can make a huge difference to mental and physical health.
True happiness it's not about being perfect or famous or rich... it's about being self actualized
"Adversity is not there to break us, it's there to make us"
Self actualisation is being actually what one could be potentially. It brings more frequent peak experiences and makes one more resistant to social comparison hence anxiety. However, self actualisation is hard because most tend to choose the path of easy pleasure. When we succumbed to this tendency, guilt arises. However, this guilt needs not be seen as just a sign of mental weakness, but a call from our inner desire to self actualisation.
Beautifully said thank you
God I love the art you use in your videos!
Tim Kerremans same here! Such masterpieces!
more post expressionism!
@@edthoreum7625 I just learned a lot about art when I used to pay not attention to it, now I cant get enough of it!
Tim Kerremans exactly! it doesnt confuse or distract us. it helps is understand the vwords better.
he never said he was God
I'd say it was when I accidentally stumbled across Maslow and his work some 4 years ago that I began on my "journey." Comparing myself now to myself then shows me how far I've come, and kinda brings me a kind of peace.
Good luck, mates.
M
mmm
I lost sleep waiting on your newest release.
Your topic selection and succinct deliveries are greatly appreciated. Thankyou.
Just when you're bogged down by everyday mundanity AoI comes in like a breath of fresh air and rescues you once again from the depths of hell. Timely as always, I definitely needed this.
Pain and suffering are the nutrients for growth and improvement.
satnamo I don't want it to be true but my own experience tells me otherwise.
satnamo Facts
This is an idea nit-picked from Frued. Not from Maslow who piggy backed it or plagiarized it.
But not too much or else the mind is completely dyed with negativity
Suffering is an Option.
Pain is not.
Keep up your great work. It really helps me developing even if its a long and stony road. The words of this long dead man are resonating in me. Thank you.
Greets from Germany.
Germans are so happy because they are free from freedom.
Every word of yours is so beautifully crafted. I love every one of these lectures. Thank you for producing them.
Finally after a lifetime of struggle, pain and humiliation I see myself as self actualized, creative and loving. Now to convince those I love that I am not crazy, Just self actualized!
Maslow is my hero. I’m a student of counseling and a strong proponent of Transpersonal Therapy.
This made me cry
I knew this would come up in the comment section. Sometimes the inner self that we try to hide from our-self comes out eventually crashing and crying. It is only natural.
Yes, always.
Wow. This was a very insightful explanation of why self actualisation is important. I agree with this theory because it is the experience in my own life. I’m not happy unless I know I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing and improving my gifts and talents. When I answer that tearing and that cry to be better, I find myself overwhelmed sometimes but then peace comes and assured me to keep going.
This is the video I needed.... now it is time to become an actualized man
Boom - the soul knows the Way and Self- Actualization we must BE! ❤
This video is confirmation - thank you so much. 🙏🕊️💕💫🌹
This, just blew my mind. I'm in awe of how accurately you have described the intricacies.
i am going through this channel since long, and what i want to say, You got your meaning, we are finding...
You are the wind which is giving me a push into self actualization. May the sun shine upon you sir
One of your best videos on self improvement to this point. It is concise, articulate, and presupposes the doubts implicitly felt with improvement (which is rarely acknowledge in general) and even offers solutions to these. Great work! Thank you.
I listened to this 3 years ago about and while I understood what was said i didn't really realise it. now in a different place in life, it seems so simple and obvious. thank you AoI for making these
For me, personally, your channel is nothing short of a treasure, i love reading about psychology and philosophy, so i want you to know, that your work is more than appreciated, thanks.
The art-work that you have used in this Video is brilliantly put. Well-done!
I REALLY needed to hear this type of information during my years as a pre-teen and teenager. It wasn't until college that I discovered these psychology concepts by roaming the aisles of the campus library, randomly looking at books. My curriculum didn't include intro to psych. The internet and videos such as this have fine tuned my understanding. Thank you Academy of Ideas.
I just want to let you know that your channel is rescuing me, saving my life. I am forever indebted to you. Please never stop. You are changing, shaping, saving and creating lives.
3:51 THIS. This is the key to confidence summed up perfectly
This is sooo perfect! I just did a group as a counselor on Maslow's self actualization mixed in with Yalom' curative factors of group therapy... thank you!
Your Uploads Are Mind Blowing. Thanks A Million!!
beautifully presented, maslow is one of my favorite existentialists. thank you AoI
I've been conflicted about my self-actualization for many years now.
Thanks for uploading!
I needed to hear this. Several people I know also need to hear this….now I need to figure out how to delicately share this with them haha.
This is the first time I’ve watched your channel or even heard of it, but I wanted you to know I appreciate what you are doing here.
Like many others...I also read Maslow in my MBA days..13 years ago. I understood him just now.
Thank you. I write truth every day on CZcams. Get ignored most of the time; though you succinctly describe the personal benefits of such a well-developed habit.
*_Great women and great men give great and eloquent speeches; the wildflower has greater power to render the soul speechless_* 🌾🌿🌾☘
i was having a panic attack, and listening to your videos helped me a lot. thank you
This channel is saving my life. Thank you so much☆ I don't have spare income to donate at this point, but with the hope and drive I gain from these ideas, I will achieve enough greatness to monetarily support this amazing resource.
Lot better than the school of life! no distracting animations. This is pure psychology and philosophy.
This has come at just the right time. Thank you
How did I know this beautiful channel would have a video on this topic… cheers
Thank you AOI your works are always so beautifully written and narrated they are always a welcome break from the poor speech and even poorer thinking I am constantly exposed to day after day, your videos are like detox. Thank you and please keep up the good work I really appreciate it.
That is gold man
Pure gold .
How can someone dislike your videos ? Great work brother , your videos have helped me lots in finding myself
Thank you. I needed this.
This video had great art and was very eye-opening. I am a college student, and I would pay a substantial amount for a lecture with this content let alone a class.
SO WELL ORGANIZED AND WRITTEN! TY for breaking it down for us!
these wonderful videos indicate an achieved self actualization.
I can never say thank u enough for this channel
Finally new video. Thank you!
"People achieve things without having achieved these. " It can be used as a standard of metric I suppose. I came across such comments in here. I think the point of this hierarchy is to achieve success in your life in a healthy way. People achieve without even having sanity. Simple eg: I have amazing cgpa in my undergrad but I still feel anxiety and depression and lack of self esteem. I compensate for the lack of reliable friendship with over achieving so that maybe someone may become my friend if they start to admire me. At the end of it, i want as stress free and peaceful life as possible to me through me...
the content you publish is incredible. i wonder how much material you’ve read to construct such a coherent narration. impressive
Love your channel man please don't stop
Terrific video, my friend. Reflects my experience perfectly.
Brilliant. Always appreciate your effort with these videos.
Excellent work, keep it up, one of the best channels I have seen in CZcams.
Absolutely wonderful video. I was looking for that Montaigne quote for so long.
your vids are amazing. i wish more people would watch stuff like this.
Finally ! احبكم ❤
Big fan of Maslow! Happy to see this vid
Thank you sprouts! This helped me with my assignment
Great work! Your channel has helped so much. Thank you, truly.
Another homerun with this one. Excellent work as always.
I accept the fact that some people spend too much time on the internet harassing others.
Whenever you post a new essay I feel as though it is a moment of synchronicity
Life changing... honestly!
I was watching a video of Jordan Peterson talking about the great existentialists. And then I saw the notification for this video. Perfect timing.
David Becquer jordan Peterson's a fraud
Google is watching over you.
AOI uploads, instant like. Best channel
Another great videos. Dont ever stop.
Bro, this is gold. This helps a lot for me
this is my anthem
Love the paintings !!
I hope this video can help people everywhere. It is sad that most people are delusional and live in an illusion.
Social comparison is commonly found Among people of much low self esteem. Thus making themselves more depressed.
Excellent video. You do truly superb work.
that ending statement was pretty epic.
thank you, i love this!
Thanks so much for this amazing topic, keep up the good work guys! Cheers! xx
I love all your videos so much; keep on keeping on, my friend. :)
Doing what you like doing for the sake of doing it.
In simple words, Become what you were born to be!
incredible thank you
Your videos have expanded my library. Thank you for this amazing content
ogogo ogpgpg thanks so much, that’s very sweet of you to say! I lift but bodybuilder is a stretch 😛
Personal exhibition isn't really my thing, so I'd make a poor bodybuilder, haha. Thanks though. I think I do have google+ but rarely use it.
Excellent-thank you!
Those of you know just the simple fact that there is something called self actualization are lucky. I'm pretty sure that you see people everyday and everywhere that are oblivious about such stuff and most live an unsatisfied life and never even begin to attempt reaching their full potential. Stay blessed and keep self actualizing.
love your vids man! thank you for making these amazing !
Ah so this is the positive psychology vid!
Damn your voice is so soothing, i love it !
Second that! It's so ~velvety~
Great video as always
Thank you
An excellent summary.
great work as always
Yeah finally back!
BRILLIANT.
The video is perfectly done...thnks a lot 🙏
That quote from Maslow at the end can be compared to the end of another quote by Marcus Aurelius which reads ''.......what stands in the way becomes the way''.
Great video. Really good
Beautiful video
Very well done!!!!!!
Maslo Hierarchy of Needs is just that. At the base level working way up to Self-Actualization. But forgets to include higher aspirations of enlightenment.
Liked, shared and subscribed. Probably worth pointing out that opportunities for self-actualization arise in the usual turmoil of life and might not require much more than the freedom to choose our own burden.
