Ben, I’m new to Medium and new to your thinking. Thank you!

I have a follow-up question.

Your article seems to assume that people are prepared to pursue self-actualization, the peak of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

In other words, it’s sounds to me like this essay has been written for people who have a certain measure of privilege. Maybe I’m wrong and you and other commenters can correct me.

How do these ideas apply to people who are struggling at lower levels, such as safety or feeling loved?
